AW: [governance] ITU in Guadalajara

["Kleinwächter, Wolfgang"]

Thanks Yrjö
 
interesting to see how realities (and innovative looking forward approaches) reach the bastions of yesteryears tradition. This opens the door for "enhanced cooperation" in a new way and will probably significantly influence the forthcoming consultations by the UN on this issue.
 
Here is another question: What the PP plans to decide with regard to WSOS 2015 (and the role of the ITU PP 2014) in this process?  
 
Thanks

 Yrjö,

Thank you so much for sharing this rather important and encouraging
news. I understand many of you have been there for a long time, with
long and tiring negotiations and debates.

And I hope this will bring more open attitudes of ITU and its members
to the civil society, or mutli and many stakeholders, minority voices
etc.

In any case, please have a good and resting weekend.
And please say hello to all of our friends who are still there.
