[bestbits] Blog Post on OTTs at the ITU

[Niels ten Oever]

Hi all,

Might it be an idea to see whether we can perhaps make joint submissions
and to train our collaboration muscles a bit ahead of the plenipot?

I'd be very interested to hear who are planning to be at plenipot and
are willing to work on a joint submission.

Cheers,

Niels
