@Alice,
You have been on the ICT International scene longer than most of us and so I find it interesting that you now expect ITU and its Government membership to "consult" stakeholders before they vote on an issue...
Plse remember to ping/wake me up when that happens :-).

Hi Ory and all
I am not sure there is any African country that has made the effort to
organise national level consultations but if we borrow a leaf from our
past experience in developing ICT related policies and regulations,
including the most recent data protection and FOI discussions, it would be
important for national consultations on ITRs.

> Alice,
> On the ITU national consultation process, I could be wrong but I'm yet
to see even one national process in Africa...the positions seem to have
been consolidated within the ATU process, and not sure how bottom up or
open to comment that is. So the rhetoric that the ITU is trying to
fight is not being helped by the opaqueness re the process by people can
contribute / participate.
