[governance] ITU's summary of its reform meeting

[William Drake]

The summary made by the Chairman of the ITU meeting on reform is now at:
 
 http://www.itu.int/council/wsis/Working_Group_on_WSIS/Feb-2006/docs/summary_of_the_itu_reform_meeting.doc 
 
On openness there are the following statements:

 "5. Membership, access and openness
 
 "5.1. ITU is sufficiently open because legal entities can become 
 ITU Sector Members or Associates. Technical workshops are open to 
 individuals and external organizations.
 
 "5.2. ITU's approach to membership could be adapted to create 
 more openness in the post WSIS environment to benefit from the 
 knowledge of civil society about local conditions. The 
 consequences of ITU decisions are very important to civil society 
 as well as to the private sector.
 
 "5.3. ITU publications and standards should be freely available 
 for downloads."
