<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The second point you are proposing seems very
accurate for me. The ITU "World Telecommunication Policy Forum on
Telecommunications" is scheduled in April next year. The "Informal Expert
Group" created by a decision of the ITU Council, hold so far two meetings
(last one one week ago in Geneva) for preparing this event. It is composed of 67
member states represnttativs and of 18 sector members. Unless to say that
there are NO CS members in that body (we are at ITU, folks !).</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>It would be therefore necessary to establish
contacts with this group for submitting it the most relevant conclusions of the
3rd IGF, as inputs to the World Forum, but only as far as they are supported by
the CS organisations concerned. May be that an "informal CS working group" on
ITU issues (i.a. reforming the ITU and CS inclusion, role of the ITU in Internet
governance) will be established in the meantime and will be able for submitting
some concrete proposals before this ITU event.</FONT></DIV>
