[bestbits] This Thursday -- Promoting Openness at WCIT

[Ellery Biddle]

Hi everyone,

Hard to believe the WCIT is only five days away! We understand that the Members will vote on Monday to determine whether or not to open certain sessions of the WCIT to public observation/participation. So this Thursday, November 29, CDT will be joining other CSOs in promoting a "Day of Action" on the WCIT -- our goal is to use email lists, blogs, and social media to urge delegates to vote in favor of making the WCIT as open as possible. 

Groups and individuals can go about this however they choose -- through open letters/blog posts, twitter, other social networks, or via offline methods. For those who are looking for a simple way to take action, Canada-based OpenMedia has created this tool to easily write a customized email to national delegates. On Twitter, CDTers plan to continue using the #WCIT and #ITU hashtags and to focus on simple messages like "#ITU delegates: vote to make #WCIT open to the public!"

If folks have other ideas about how to get the message out on Thursday, please share them! Hope this will have some impact.

Best wishes,

Ellery
