[bestbits] Call for Contributions: Combating counterfeit devices at the ITU

[Anja Kovacs]

Dear all,

During the ITU Plenipot, a small group of us had a meeting with Mr. Zhao,
Secretary-General elect of the ITU, to share with him the ways in which
civil society has already contributed to the work of the ITU and how we
hope to build on this in the future.

During this conversation, we mentioned as one example of civil society's
contribution to the Plenipot the work some of us have been involved in
regarding counterfeit devices and the importance of considering user rights
in battling such devices. In response, the ITU flagged this *call for
contributions to an ITU event on Combating Counterfeit and Substandard ICT
Devices*, which will take place later this month in Geneva.

Though the last date for contributions has strictly speaking gone, the ITU
has been glad to extent it until 10 November, in the hope that at least
some from civil society would then still be able to make an input.

It would be great if some here could indeed do so!

Thanks and all the best,
Anja
