I learn that there is a likelihood of you moderating the session on "International Telecom Regulations and Internet Governance". <a href="http://www.iigc.in/">http://www.iigc.in/</a><br>

<div><font color="#333333" face="verdana, sans-serif"><br></font></div><div><font color="#333333" face="verdana, sans-serif">I am given to understand that ISOC is playing a supportive role, yet believe that you would be doing everything possible to bring in diverse perspectives on WCIT issues. </font></div>
<div><font color="#333333" face="verdana, sans-serif"><br></font></div><div><font color="#333333" face="verdana, sans-serif">It is important that this opportunity turns out to be one that would present diverse views on the the dangers of the ITU's aspirations so as to cause the important stakeholders in India to unlearn the erroneous ideas imparted by wrong advise. </font></div>
<div><font color="#333333" face="verdana, sans-serif"><br></font></div><div><font color="#333333" face="verdana, sans-serif">Could this take shape as a session that include one or two panelists who explain how the neutral Internet Governance institutions work at present? In one of the IGF workshops we have had panelists from IETF who wonderfully explained how the IETF process differs from the ITU process; The audience also need to understand the receptive and open multi-stakeholder process of ICANN as a contrast to the closed processes of the ITU.</font></div>
