The title is "Requirements for deep packet inspection in next
generation networks".

In view of the "next generation networks" label in the title, this
document might not even be technically applicable to the Internet at it
exists today. So indeed let's be careful to avoid hyping this up as if
it were something that it is not.

But we should challenge ITU's apparant practice of creating standards
on such a topic without giving civil society any effective opportunity
to question the claim that requirements for "deep packet
inspection" (DPI) exist, or to oppose the legitimitization of such
practices by a UN agency.

So I strongly support Wolfgang's suggestion.

In addition we should work towards making net neutrality violations by
means of DPI internationally frowned upon and illegal in as many
countries as possible.

Greetings,
Norbert
