[governance] ITU follies

[William Drake]

Kieren has the low down on the two week ITU Council meeting that concludes today.

Of particular note, the Dedicated Group on international Internet-related public policy issues will become a full working group with a broad mandate and will remain strictly intergovernmental with its docs restricted to ITU members.  However, it's supposed to hold open consultations.  So we may be invited to provide input, just not to know what they're actually doing.

And Saudi Arabia's campaigning for a "forum" in 2013 on Internet governance.
