[bestbits] Launch of GPD info hub on the ITU

[Sheetal Kumar]

Dear all

With Plenipot kicking off and as an update to the email I sent last year
launching the ITU Info hub <https://www.gp-digital.org/event/itu-info-hub/>,
I wanted to highlight some of the new resources on the hub which can help
human rights defenders engage.

   - An ongoing blog series (*Regional Perspectives at the ITU*) which
   examines the ITU's regional groupings in depth, and offers informed
   guidance on their likely priorities for this Plenipot. So far, we've
   covered Europe (CEPT)
   <https://www.gp-digital.org/regional-perspectives-at-the-itu-1-europe/>,
Africa
   (ATU)
   <https://www.gp-digital.org/regional-perspectives-at-the-itu-2-africa/>,
   and the Americas (CITEL)
   <https://www.gp-digital.org/regional-perspectives-at-the-itu-3-the-americas/>
   ;
   - Concise *Explainers* on the ITU's work on a range of key
   internet-related policy issues which are likely to come up at Plenipot:
   including cybersecurity
   <https://www.gp-digital.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/ITU_Explainers_cybersecurity.pdf>
   , spectrum management
   <https://www.gp-digital.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/ITU_Explainers_spectrum.pdf>
   , Digital Object Architecture
   <https://www.gp-digital.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/itu-doa2.pdf>, OTT
   services
   <https://www.gp-digital.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/itu-ott-2.pdf>,
   Development
   <https://www.gp-digital.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/itu-development_explainer.pdf>,
   and IoT
   <https://www.gp-digital.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/ITU_IOT2.pdf>;
   - A blog series (*Spotlight on the ITU*) exploring different aspects of
   the ITU – from its history
   <https://www.gp-digital.org/spotlight-on-the-itu-2-a-brief-introduction-to-the-itu/>
   and broader position in the internet governance space, to the specific
   role and importance of Plenipot
   <https://www.gp-digital.org/spotlight-on-the-itu-4-an-introduction-to-plenipot/>
   ;
   - An *interactive ITU calendar* <https://www.gp-digital.org/itu-events/>,
   highlighting the key events which are of relevance to human rights defenders

We hope this is useful and please do share any feedback.

Best
Sheetal.
