    I agree.  I was wondering if anyone had any insights into this
    process.   As far as I can see only 6 comments have been made.   I
    also don't see any questions or other points that the ITU may be
    seeking responses on.   It seems particularly unstructured and
    poorly communicated despite it being (potentially) very important.<br>
    <br>
    Thanks.<br>

                Dear Sir/Madam,<br>
                <br>
                We want to bring to your notice an important open
                consultation that we are carrying out   -  Public
                Consultation on the ITU 2016-2019 Strategy<br>
                <br>
                The Council of our Member States launched the
                development of a new ITU Strategic Plan for 2016-2019,
                which will be approved at the ITU Plenipotentiary
                Conference in October 2014.<br>
                <br>
                In preparing the Secretary General's contribution to
                this work of the Council, we are asking for your inputs
                to the debate.<br>
                <br>
                You can tell us what you expect from ITU in the future,
                where we should direct our efforts to best serve
                everyone, including you; and which challenges we should
                be prepared to meet.<br>
                <br>
                We invite you to participate in this Public Consultation
                and we are looking forward to your opinions.<br>
                <br>
                You can share your views and ideas at the interactive
