New subject: kictanet Digest, Vol 61, Issue 89

20 Jun 2012

      Alice,

On the ITU national consultation process, I could be wrong but I'm yet to
see even one national process in Africa...the positions seem to have been
consolidated within the ATU process, and not sure how bottom up or open to
comment that is.    So the rhetoric that the ITU is trying to fight is not
being helped by the opaqueness re the process by people can contribute /
participate.

Dear All,
I could send to you a much longer list of similar articles, blogs and
publications about alleged ITU plans to take control of the Internet.  I
could also send to you many which state the contrary. But none of this
will be of any use.
The last meeting of the Council Working Group (CWG) for WCIT started this
morning 20 June and ends on 22 June.   Find attached the speech of ITU
Secretary-General,  Dr. Hamadoun I. Tour?, delivered today at the opening
of this last CWG WCIT meeting.
ITU has 193 Member States. The decision on the content of the revised
ITRs
...
will be made by ITU Membership at the end of this year (3-14 December)
during the WCIT in Dubai.
For those of you who represent your countries in ITU,  I would encourage
you to increase the involvement of the citizens of your countries in your
national consultations during this process.   I would also hope that your
positions and views regarding ITU and the process to  review the ITRs are
based on actual proposals and discussions taking place in the appropriate
ITU forums dealing with this subject and not necessarily on blogs,
publications, speeches and media reports many of which do not accurately
reflect the facts.
Also, please find attached a WCIT background brief which I hope will be
helpful to have a basic understanding of what the ITRs are and the roles
of sovereign states in the process leading to the review of this Treaty
(the ITRs). Please feel free to share this brief and the speech of ITU
Secretary-General as you consider appropriate.
For reliable and up-to-date information about ITU, the ITRs and WCIT,
please visit  www.itu.int/wcit<http://www.itu.int/wcit>

Alexander NTOKO
