[governance] 3rd meeting of the WTPF Informal Expert Group (IEG)

[Deborah Brown]

Hi all- I found this info on the ITU's WTPF site:

http://www.itu.int/en/wtpf-13/Pages/participation.aspx
*
*
*WTPF-13 public access*
The public may attend WTPF-13. Public attendants are required to have a
proven interest in matters related to the WTPF, along with expertise and
experience in International Internet-related public policy matters. To
assess involvement in these issues, those wishing to attend WTPF-13 are
invited to complete this
questionnaire<http://www.itu.int/en/wtpf-13/Documents/expression-of-interest.docx>[image:
expression-of-interest.docx]<http://www.itu.int/en/wtpf-13/Documents/expression-of-interest.docx>
and
to return it via e-mail to the WTPF Registration Service at sg-registration
(@) itu.int.

Due to limited room capacity, approval of requests from the public to
attend the Forum will be based on the above-mentioned criteria and will be
carried out on first come, first served basis. Upon successful completion
of requirements, you will receive confirmation of pre-registration for
WTPF-13 from ITU.

The questionnaire is two pages and consists of rather basic questions. I
wonder how this compares to systems in past years and what level of
participation "public attendants" are entitled to.
