Alice, <div><br></div><div>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. </div>

Dear Ali and all,<br>
<br>
Countries like the Netherlands, reported that they have held national<br>
consultations (workshops) to discuss these issues and develop a national<br>
position, while others like the US mentioned they have made the WCIT<br>
documents available to their constituencies.<br>
<br>
This is the bottom up approach that the ITU SG spoke about regarding the<br>
revision of the ITRs including the issue "openness and transparency<br>
beginning with public access to various documents.<br>
<br>
We have had a great tradition/practice since our Ministry was created,<br>
where we have discussed critical policies and regulations as a result of<br>
the open policy window provided by our government.<br>
<br>
For this instance, we should ideally follow the same multi stakeholder<br>
bottom consultations approach for both process and substantive issues.<br>
<br>
Best<br>
<br>
Alice<br>
