*Diversity* and ITC (also Re: [governance] ITU IG Resolution)

[l.d.misek-falkoff]

Greetings and:

Brava to Kicki's posts and those of others emphasizing diversity
considerations, even imperatives  (paraphrase).

And here's an e-peg on which to hang *the hat of hope* in this direction:

The draft Resolution states early on (goal and incentive to...):

"promote the extension of the benefits of new telecommunication technologies
to *all* the world's inhabitants and to harmonize the efforts of Member
States and Sector Members in the attainment of those ends;" [emphasis
added].

Best wishes and Respectfully Interfacing (Achieving *Dialogue* While
Cherishing *Diversity*),
LDMF.
