Really great to see such excellent submissions from Public Knowledge/IDEC and Access Now. Thanks for sharing. It's so important that civil society's voice is heard, especially in such a closed forum like the ITU. We also think that the debate on OTT is only going to continue (especially at the ITU where it's popping up in a number of Study Groups) so awareness-raising, like through this email thread, is crucial.</font></div><div class="gmail_default"><font face="verdana, sans-serif"><br></font></div><div class="gmail_default"><font face="verdana, sans-serif">GPD has also made a submission to the consultation, which can be found <a href="http://www.itu.int/en/Lists/consultationJune2017/Attachments/28//ITU%20CWG-Internet%20Consultation%20on%20OTT.pdf">here</a>.
