<BR> <BR>On openness there are the following statements:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Book Antiqua"> "5. Membership, access and
openness<BR> <BR> "5.1. ITU is sufficiently open because legal
entities can become <BR> ITU Sector Members or Associates. Technical
workshops are open to <BR> individuals and external
organizations.<BR> <BR> "5.2. ITU's approach to membership could
be adapted to create <BR> more openness in the post WSIS environment to
benefit from the <BR> knowledge of civil society about local conditions.
The <BR> consequences of ITU decisions are very important to civil society
<BR> as well as to the private sector.<BR> <BR> "5.3. ITU
publications and standards should be freely available <BR> for
downloads."<BR></FONT></DIV>
