[governance] Study on ICT self- and co-regulation

[Hakikur Rahman]

Dear Adam,

Thank you for sharing an important document with the list. As a 
researcher in this field, I find it valuable. However, regarding 
infrastructure and standards setting I do not see much of ITU's role 
in the case study. Perhaps, I may have missed it, or the case studies 
included only the mentioned institutions.

Best regards,
Hakik
