[kictanet] Harm caused by ill-thought out WCIT proposals to developing world

Mon Sep 24 15:07:25 EAT 2012

Mich/Ali,

I must also commend CCK on this process of vigorous engagement with Stakeholders.  I think it is either the new broom (read DG) sweeps better syndrome or the new constitution in action - but perhaps a mixture of both factors...

walu.

nb: I do hope eventually they share what they will present at WCIT.  They ofcourse are not compelled to take in everything from stakeholders but stakeholders have a right to know what was picked/ignored from their input.
