<div>Dear All,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>There is a lot of misinformation about ITU, the World
Conference on International Telecommunications (WCIT-12) and
the International Telecommunication Regulations (ITRs).</div>
<div>Some of this misinformation is due to ignorance on the part
of the authors of these articles while others are simply due
to hidden agendas of the authors.</div>
<div><font face="Times New Roman"><span style="font-size:11pt"> </span></font></div>
<div>Whatever the case, it is important to have some basic
information about ITU, WCIT and the ITRs so that you know what
to expect at WCIT in Dubai in December 2012.</div>
<div><font face="Times New Roman"><span style="font-size:11pt"> </span></font></div>
<div>To start, I would suggest that you visit <a href="http://www.itu.int/en/wcit-12/Pages/WCIT-backgroundbriefs.aspx" target="_blank"><font color="blue"><u>http://www.itu.int/en/wcit-12/Pages/WCIT-backgroundbriefs.aspx</u></font></a>
for background information about WCIT
and the ITRs.</div>

published by the press, you can visit <a href="http://www.scoop.it/t/wcit-12" target="_blank"><font color="blue"><u>http://www.scoop.it/t/wcit-12</u></font></a></div>
