<div class="moz-cite-prefix"> Hi, <br>
This statement shows that WCIT and ITU is very transparent
but the fact remains there as <u><b>No consumer representation
at all</b></u>. No invitation has been sent by ITU to <u>GLOBAL
CONSUMER REPRESENTATIVE BODY</u>. So as per my understanding
transparency and representation are the major issues with ITU and
WCIT. The integration of efforts by CSO's for this transparency
and representation is also on the agenda of Best Bits. So this
statement should not distract us from our targeted objectives. <br>

<div>Some quotes from the piece</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><i>In relation to the American situation, it is believed
that after the American election there will be room for a
more moderate stand on the issues, and that would help to
form the basis for good outcomes at the WCIT.</i></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><i>Indeed the ITU is making itself more transparent and the
whole debate about the ITRs is a good example that this
seems to work. Also each member state (government) can bring
its own delegation to the ITU and to WCIT, and can
participate. So the broader internet community can lobby
their government to include representatives from them in
these delegations.</i></div>
<div><i><br>
</i></div>
<div><i>The Secretary-General most certainly reached out to
everybody, and he wants to see WCIT representing all the
stakeholders involved</i></div>
