all,<br>
<br>
This is to give an update of the ongoing discussions at the
ITU PP14.<br>
<br>
Civil society in Busan have participated in many debates
outlined below, through their national delegations or
informal discussions with other delegates. It would be great
if colleagues following particular discussions could expand
or reflect on the summary presented below. On a general
note, with 4 days to go, most people seem to think that
compromises have been reached sooner than expected.<br>
<br>
A number of us participated in the second meeting with the
outgoing ITU Secretary General, which was largely seen as an
ITU PR-stunt. In order to ensure continuity, an informal
meeting of CS reps with the Secretary General elect, Mr.
Zhao, is expected to take place in the next few days. If you
have suggestions for what issues should be raised at that
meeting, share them here.<br>
<br>
Hope this is useful.<br>
<br>
Best,<br>
Lea

<font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif"><b><u>Process</u></b><br>
At the beginning of Week 3 of the Plenipot, most ad hoc
working groups (AHGs) dealing with specific proposals are
wrapping up. Many AHGs have already agreed text, which has
been sent to Committee 5 (COM5), Committee 6 (COM6), and
the Plenary Working Group (WGPL). Once agreed in an ad
hoc, the text rarely gets re-opened for discussion in the
Committees or WGPL, and even more rarely in the Plenary.</font>
