[kictanet] Fwd: [i-network] Call to contribute to Uganda's position on the proposed International Telecommunications Regulations (ITRs)

[Alice Munyua]

Interesting for those following WCIT preparations.

During the EAIGF and EA consultations on ITRs, UCC's representative had 
mentioned that Uganda would organise multistakeolder consultations to 
develop their national position.
See below and attached.

Dear members,

National governments are preparing to modify the International 
Telecommunications Regulations 
<http://www.internetsociety.org/itr>(ITRs) at the World Conference on 
International Telecommunications 
<http://www.itu.int/en/wcit-12/Pages/overview.aspx> (WCIT) to be held in 
Dubai, December 2012. The ITRs are part of a treaty framework that 
establishes general principles to guide the governance and operation of 
international telecommunication. The ITR treaty was adopted in 1988 and 
since then, no updates have been made until now. However, it’s emerging 
that some member states believe that the treaty should be expounded to 
include internet regulation. There have been proposals related to IP 
addressing, cyber security (giving states more control over access over 
content and access to networks), spam, interconnection, Quality of 
Service (QoS), etc . Therefore, decisions made at this conference could 
redefine the international regulatory environment for the internet and 
telecoms in the 21st century.

While presenting at the recently concluded Uganda IGF, 2012 
<http://isoc.ug/uganda-holds-national-igf-2012/> , The Uganda 
Communications Commission (UCC) presented a draft document 
<http://internetsociety.ug/igf2012/Uganda_position_on_the_ITR_Presentation.pdf> 
detailing their possible position on the proposed ITRs. The commission 
further seeks comments on the document to have a firm national position 
to be submitted at the WICT.

Kindly refer to the attached documents for your put:

1. Anticipated draft ITR containing a compilation of proposals and options
2. Consultation matrix containing final options & proposals to be 
adopted by Uganda. The Matrix also shows Africa's positions following 
the African Regional meeting that was held in Durban in May 2012.

*Deadline for comments/inputs is August 21, 2012. *

We look forward to your contributions.

Kind regards,
Lillian
