AW: [bestbits] Re: [IRPCoalition] [governance] Request for comment on proposal for IGF multistakeholder opinions

This was actually much better at ITU about seven or eight years back - before and possibly shortly after Athens.  The level of engagement and capacity building focus seems to have dialed itself down dramatically [for reasons that might or might not correlate with, shall we say, a change in management there]

If the ITU were to turn its talents, its capacity to hire external experts and its reach in every economy in the world, to a much more active role in capacity building and engagment,  instead of working to gain control .. that unfortunately more and more appears to be a pipe dream :(

This does not mean that the ITU has no role top play anymore but a subatnatial number of governments would support ITU more if it would - within its limited mandate - broaden its engagement in building infrastructure enabling more access or/and become more engaged in capacity building via training and education both of governmental experts and the broader public to enable more qualified participation (in particular from developing coubntries) in Internet PDPs.
