<font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">Hi, Marcin.<br>
Thanks!<br>
I though I posted it here already, but may be it was at EDRI. Yes,
ITRs are ACTA 2.0, but with steroids. <br>
<br>
<b>However, there's something I'd like to urge the chapters in the
EU to do immediately:</b><br>
<br>
It is absolutely crucial that EU Member States that are opposed to
ACTA confirm as soon as possible that they will join the case when
it is referred. Each member from a country that is critical of
ACTA needs to get a confirmation of this as early as possible! I
would also encourage other chapters, in countries that signed ACTA
but are not members of the EU, to see if there are legal steps
that can be taken there against ACTA. <br>
<br>
This is something we all can put some efforts to do. <br>
<br>
As for the ITRs, let's wait to hear the proposals on the table; I
am sure that among them there will be such that there will be huge
protests all over the world, Anonymous included. My expectation is
that ITU doesn't know what they are going to face, as they have
never thought their actions might be questioned by the public at
large. <br>
<br>
Best, <br>
Veni<br>

<pre wrap="">Seems like the press is convinced that ITR is potentially the next "ACTA 2.0" if handled
wrong. In Poland there are already some follow ups to the WSJ article by Robert McDowell:

Our new telecom regulator, Ms Magdalena Gaj, had an interview
in radio today morning, saying that Poland will be definitely
against any attempts to regulate the Internet via ITR.

I think that photo says it all (it's from the anti-ACTA street
protests earlier in January).
We will be commenting on Ms Gaj's statement later today in the
same radio station.
