Hi all,
Overall i think the CCK's move made a good step to involve stakeholders, it means that there is concerted effort to involve every one in the discussion for the new ITR's.
And yes we will be happy to know what has been presented on our behalf as Kenyans as well.

Mich/Ali,
I must also commend CCK on this process of vigorous engagement with Stakeholders.? I think it is either the new broom (read DG) sweeps better syndrome or the new constitution in action - but perhaps a mixture of both factors...
walu.
nb: I do hope eventually they share what they will present at WCIT.? They ofcourse are not compelled to take in everything from stakeholders but stakeholders have a right to know what was picked/ignored from their input.

Walu
It is important to note that all the regions of the world have different
positions on the ITRs. There are those who are of the view that the ITRs
should remain as they are. Another school of thought argues that a
review is necessary but should be minimal, only addressing those
provisions that have been overtaken by technological and market
developments. The third school argues that review should be extensive as
the global telecoms industry has changed enormously since 1988.
The outcome of WCIT-12 will be a product of negotiations/trade-off
between these three schools of thought. And that why all regions of the
world are developing regional positions so that they can have higher
leverage in the negotiations. What Kenya, or Africa for that matter,
will take to Dubai will therefore have to be subjected to this process.
I believe the ITU shall publish the final ITRs (Final Acts) after the
conference.
I hope this is helpful.
