[WSIS CS-Plenary] CSDPTT proposals to Tunis documents

[Robert Guerra]

Jean-Louis:

thanks for your comments. much appreciated.


Given the long standing vis-a-vis the ITU, I - personally, wouldn't  
support the call for giving a prominent role to the ITU. Then again,  
it's just my personal view. I'm keen to hear what others think...

I'll put forward a suggestion - get CS to first see if the ITU is  
willing to reform certain of it's practices vis-a-vis Civil Society -  
- There's much people have written about this already, especially  
those on the governance list...

I'll just point out one issue that is always raised - that being the  
terribly expensive pricing they put on reports and documents they  
produce. If we want the ITU to change then,let's propose a position  
that civil society has already articulated - than being that   
creative commons license or even better a GNU type license be  
adopted. Would the ITU go for it? we should try..



regards,

Robert
