Public consultation opens for World Conference on International
Telecommunications (WCIT-12)

Stakeholders from across industry, civil society and general public
are encouraged to make their voices heard

Geneva, 15 August 2012 -- The public consultation process for WCIT-12
opened today, with interested parties able to make their written
contributions to the WCIT-12 discussions via ITU's website in any of
the six official UN languages.

The site opened for contributions today at 15:00 CET. It can be
accessed at www.itu.int/en/wcit-12/Pages/public.aspx

The site is the result of a decision by ITU Council on 11 July 2012 to
make a draft of the principal input document to the WCIT-12 conference
publicly accessible, and to establish a website where all stakeholders
can express their views and opinions on the content of that document
or any other matter related to WCIT.

There is no restriction on the number of contributions any party may
make, and contributions may be either nominative or anonymous.

The site will remain open for contributions until 3 November 2012,
23.59 hours CET (Geneva time). These inputs will then be made
available to ITU's 193 Member States, which have been urged to
consider and take account of submitted content in their preparations
for WCIT-12.

WCIT-12 is a landmark global treaty-making conference that will define
the general principles for the provision and operation of
international telecommunications networks around the world.

topics likely to be discussed at the conference can be found at:
