<div> </div>
<div>Is anyone here considering applying to have their qualifications assessed?  While the process is unusual and a bit off putting, we're talking about an IG discussion in which all governments actually get involved...</div>

<div class="Wj3C7c"><br>Hi,<br><br>The ITU has decided how to handle civil society participation in the World Telecom Policy Forum 22-24 April in Lisbon, which will focus on  the Internet, NGN, and convergence.  individuals may fill out a form attesting to their "proven interest in matters related to the WTPF-09, along with expertise and experience in Information Society issues,"  and then staff will decide if they qualify.<br>
