[kictanet] What is the position of the Kenyan government delegation to the Plenipot14?

[Mwendwa Kivuva]

The ITU meeting started on 21st October 2014 in Busan, South Korea and will
run for 3 weeks. ISOC Kenya Chapter is represented by several members who
will share their experiences with the list. I hope our delegation on the
ground will be reporting regularly on the daily outcomes of this important
conference.

Internet Society position on the ITU meeting is:
1. There is wide consensus that there is no single "governance" structure
for the Internet. Nor is there a single, global platform that can serve to
coordinate, organize or govern all the issues that may arise.
2. The Plenipotentiary should not adopt policies that lead to a regulatory
role for the ITU in the governance of the Internet.
3. The Plenipotentiary will not agree to place the future of the Internet
policy development under the control of an inter-governmental organization.
4. Make the Plenipot more transparent, to listen to the voices of
stakeholders and to be responsive to the concerns we and other stakeholders
have brought to the ITU
