[governance] WCIT12 update - CS call to activists - the text

The World Conference on International Telecommunications – 12 (December 3 - 14)


Call to Human Rights and Technology Activists by Civil Society participants



We, the physical and remote participants at The World Conference on 
International Telecommunications WCIT12 in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, 
wish to call the attention of all human rights and technology activists 
that the recent outage of the ITU website has proved to be of 
considerable disadvantage to the efforts on the review of the 
International Telecommunications Regulations - ITRs.

The World Conference on International Telecommunications (WCIT) is a 
critical event that the Civil Society believes is key in shaping greater connectivity and growth in international telecommunications. The 
satisfactory functioning of the ITU website, is central to the success 
of the meeting as it serves as the document repository, primary webcast 
channel and orientation platform for all participants.

We therefore call on all concerned activists to refrain from any possible 
disruptions, hacks or attacks on the ITU website and its related 
domains. Such effort will be counterproductive, and will hugely 
disenfranchise remote participants.

The Civil Society participation in ITU deliberations is the result of a 
long and a hard process that requires constructive efforts for 
improvement.

We invite you to follow remotely onhttp://www.itu.int/en/wcit-12/Pages/default.aspx
And #WCIT12 on Twitter

Hi Nnenna,

Can't access the document.  Could you send as an attachment or just
send the text to the list.

Do you know who hacked:  a protest or someone (some govt) wanting to
look like a protest, what better way to justify having the hacked
organization take more responsibility for cyber-security :-)

Best,

Adam
