AW: Paul Budde blog on WCIT

[Farooq Ahmed Jam]

  Hi,
      This statement shows that WCIT and ITU is very transparent but 
the  fact remains there as _*No consumer representation at all*_. No 
invitation has been sent by ITU to _GLOBAL CONSUMER REPRESENTATIVE 
BODY_.  So as per my understanding transparency and representation are 
the major issues with ITU and WCIT.  The integration of efforts by CSO's 
for this transparency and representation is also on the agenda of Best 
Bits.   So this statement should not distract us from our targeted 
objectives.

Regards

Farooq
