[kictanet] Govts at ITU meeting labor to show consensus

[Grace Githaiga]

Have you ever wondered why UN meetings and other government related international meetings take two weeks? Well, you are not alone, consider these scenarios:1. Have 1,000 people editing a document2. Have political rivals try to agree on words such as human rights, the meanings and implications3. Have economically powerful countries have one voice, less powerful countries have another view and vote, while make it look democratic and “consensual”4. Have one government that has invested in the resource, controls it, and on the other hand governments seeking to have some power.5. Have every tech related word scrutinized think internet, broadband, infrastructure, technical, etc on the other hand, words like shall, may, endeavour, provide the environment etc provide new meaning when at a UN treaty related meeting.
