Certainly CDT has been fully engaged on ITU matters over the past 12 months+ but it is now time to step back and assess where we collectively are vis-a-vis the entirety of the governance/WSIS space. We have been thwarted on some fronts and had successes on others but it is time perhaps to think more strategically about how we promote multistakeholderism/governance without using up our limited resources through attrition. There is a trajectory through WTDC/WSIS HLM and Plenipot, and we should consider where and how we can engage most effectively and efficiently.</span></blockquote></div><br></body></html>
