<div class="gmail_quote">WCIT Chairman Al Ghanim recently declared that the ITRs would include a Resolution to enhance the ITU's role in Internet governance not by a vote or by true consensus, but by informally asking about the "temperature in the room" regarding the Resolution. After estimating the "feel of the room", which included some countries in opposition, the Chairman declared that a majority favored the measure, and thus the Resolution was adopted. The session quickly adjourned before some countries could even determine whether an official decision had been made. This was not a legitimate decision-making process by ITU standards. <br>
<div>
<div><br></div><div>Please urge countries that oppose the resolution to take a stand at the start of tomorrow’s first plenary session and demand that the issue be re-opened for an official vote that can be documented and recorded for public review.</div>
