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>

6 September. Which gives an audience that was not forewarned
about two weeks to get in its submissions regarding the next

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>
