SV: [governance] Re: IG questions that are not ICANN [was: Irony]

[Kleinwächter, Wolfgang]

One example is the forthcoming ITU Kaleidescope Conference in May 2008 in Geneva. ITU is also trying to improve its relationship with Academia, mainly with the Technical Universities.

This is, by the way, an ITU-D BDT effort - in other words, rather different
from other work ITU may be doing on (say) standards development.

The botnet project will have several IETF / NANOG regulars coming in to
conduct hands on workshops, for example.

I am not offering a way into the "ITU labyrinth" .. don't have a ball of
string handy.  And there isn't a Minotaur waiting at the center either.

I am just pointing out some ways and means - that already exist - where civ
soc can actually participate in some initiatives that the ITU happens to be
engaged in.

Subtle difference, but it does exist, I assure you.
