[kictanet] ITU: Greater Transparency and Participation in WCIT 2012

Fri May 18 17:09:42 EAT 2012

Dear All,

ARTICLE 19 in collaboration with other stakeholder have initiated a process to lobby for a more transparent ITU. We would like more actors to sign up on a letter that has been drafted and seek to change the stakeholders who will be invited to attend the WCIT 2012 from just state delegates and a few private sectors operators.

Please find attached a link to the PR and letter.

Thanks so much Barrack, Edith, Walu, James et al. for your assistance.
Great stuff on the CCK website. I don't think the ABC figures for
newspaper (and other print media) are available so any other source would
be appreciated.

And Synovate always charge so much for the figures. I have talked with
them before and they refused to give me the stats.
