[governance] WCIT proposals - new website

[Carlos A. Afonso]

I find the use of the term "agency" a bit odd. In the UN context, "agencies" are sectoral bodies of the UN (like the ITU of course).

The word should be "agents" instead I guess.

Makes all the WCIT proposals available in a pretty easy to use format.
It's good.

Discussions starting to get serious and contentious issues seem to
have moved to informal working groups, particularly the definition of
telecoms and whether for the purposes of the ITRs it should include
Internet, and to what entities the ITRs should apply:  Recognized
Operating Agencies (effectively telecommunications companies licensed
at that national level) or Operating Agencies (any and all providers
of International telecommunications, from a rural telecentre to
Google, Skype and AT&T.)

Other issues seem to be dumped it committee sub-groups that aren't
being webcast (at least not today.)

Russia's proposal on "Internet" also seems to be discussed in one of
these informal sessions  (and for some reason Dr. Toure is silent,
thou he promised WCIC wouldn't be about Internet governance.)
