[bestbits] ITU PP meeting with SG tomorrow

[Lea Kaspar]

Dear all,

Greetings from Busan.

As some of you may know, a first of three meetings between civil society
and the outgoing ITU Secretary General Toure is scheduled for tomorrow
morning here in Busan.

Some of us here will try to attend this meeting. As we are on national
delegations, we are limited in what we can say, especially since the
meeting is being webcast. However, we plan to follow up on the asks
addressed in the letter on ITU PP openness and transparency which many of
you here endorsed. In particular, we plan to follow up on the asks of
facilitating registration of on-site observers, holding regular meetings
with CS, and setting up an online mechanism for submitting information
documents to the Conference.

If there are any additional questions related to ITU openness and
transparency you would like us to raise - let us know - we will do our best
to raise them at this meeting. Due to delegation rules we most likely won't
be in a position to raise any issues related to substantive discussions
taking place at the PP.

Apologies for the short notice. This meeting was confirmed at the last
minute - the ITU sent the official invites to national delegations who then
extended them to their civil society reps (or in some cases - didn't). The
good news is that two additional meetings with civil society are planned
for weeks 2 and 3, so we will hopefully be able to be more coordinated
going into those meetings.

Warm wishes,
Lea & Joana
