*Subject:* [ITAC] Open Consultation for CWG-Internet Now Available



Good morning,



For everyone’s awareness, the online consultation for the October meeting
of the ITU Council Working Group on International Internet Public Policy
Issues (CWG-Internet) is now open to all stakeholders. As decided at the
February 2015 meeting of the CWG-Internet, the topic of the consultation is
as follows:



"With a view to discussing the establishment of Internet Exchange Points
(IXPs) to advance connectivity, improve service quality and increase
network stability and resilience, fostering competition and reducing
interconnection costs, as proposed by Opinion 1 of WTPF-13 and consistent
with PP-14 Resolutions 101 and 102, stakeholders are *invited to elaborate
and exemplify on the challenges faced and identify widely accepted best
practices for the design, installation and operation of IXPs*."



The deadline for submissions is *August 28th*.  To submit inputs or for
further information, please visit the following link:
http://www.itu.int/en/council/cwg-internet/Pages/consultation-june2015.aspx



For some background, the Plenipotentiary Conference 2014 instructed the ITU
Council to revise its Resolution 1344 to direct the Council Working Group
on international Internet-related public policy issues (CWG-Internet),
limited to Member States, with open consultation to all stakeholders, and
to conduct such open consultation according to specific guidelines. As a
result the ITU Council in its 2015 session resolved that the CWG-Internet
should hold both open online consultation and physical open consultation
meetings, with remote participation, within a defined period prior to each
CWG-Internet meeting.

ITU Council also resolved that all relevant inputs received in the open
consultation will be available to the CWG-Internet and all other
stakeholders on a dedicated publicly accessible webpage of the CWG-Internet
website. Relevant inputs from the open online consultation on the topic(s)
decided by the CWG-Internet will form the basis of discussion at the
physical open consultation meetings and all relevant responses will be
submitted to the CWG-Internet for consideration of the issues chosen for
its next meeting.



Please let me know if you have any questions.



Thank you,

Micaela
