<font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">I am also a little bit
wondering what's the role of the ITU in national security issues?
<br>
Now, of course, I am against *any* type of wiretapping (including
legal), but that's only because I grew up in a country, where ALL
communications were monitored 24x7. So, the first 21 years of my
life were spent in all-wired environment. There were more
microphones around my house, than there were at the National
Public Radio. <br>
But the ITU and these issues? <br>

<div>what would the ITU do regarding privacy and surveillance?
Traditionally it has been the seat of authorized and then
overarching pro-surveillance arrangements. They are deeply
rooted in the ITRs, as is the "kill switch". What depth of
reform would be required to reverse the trend? ITRs? WCIT?
Convention? Constitution?</div>

Plenipotentiary 2014 Opens</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="COLOR:black">By
Sally Wentworth, Vice President of Global Policy
Development</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The ITU Plenipotentiary
Conference opens today, and I wanted to share some
thoughts on several of the key issues that we’ll be
watching over the next three weeks of debate. Last
week, our CEO, Kathryn Brown, outlined the Internet
Society’s high level approach to the Conference and
offered insights on the importance of collaboration
within the Internet ecosystem. Today, I’ll get into
a few more specifics.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">An ITU Plenipotentiary Conference
is a complex treaty-writing event held every 4 years
where governments of the world debate a multitude of
issues around how the ITU should function, who
should lead the organization, what the ITU should be
doing, and how much the ITU’s budget should be.
While these are all important issues, the Internet
Society’s focus will be on the host of Internet
issues that will be considered and on how the
decisions made will impact the broader Internet
ecosystem. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">As of this writing, proposals are
still coming in from regions and Member States but
we do already have a general view of what some of
the key Internet topics will be. We are working
hard to analyze the various proposals from the
perspective of an open and accessible Internet and
are keeping an issues matrix updated on our website:
<a moz-do-not-send="true"

target="_blank">www.internetsociety.org/issuesmatrixpp14</a></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In thinking about the Conference
as it relates to the Internet, I see several groups
of issues that governments will debate: </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">• How the ITU does its work –
should the work of the ITU be made more inclusive,
more transparent and more collaborative? This issue
will be addressed via consideration of access to ITU
documents, publications and meetings. Thus far, we
see divisions among countries emerging on this
point.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">• What is the ITU’s role in
different aspects of the Internet? This includes
discussion of IP-based networks, Internet
policymaking, security, Internet-of-things, and IP
addressing. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">• What can the ITU do to expand
connectivity and spur development? There is keen
interest to build on the success of the ITU
Development conference earlier this year <a
moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://www.itu.int/en/ITU-D/Conferences/WTDC/WTDC14/Pages/default.aspx"
target="_blank">http://www.itu.int/en/ITU-D/Conferences/WTDC/WTDC14/Pages/default.aspx</a>
and find ways to bring about the benefits of ICTs. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">• How to address the economic
concerns of countries? Several countries have made
proposals to address topics around regulation of
over-the-top services, interconnection rates and
policies for alternative calling procedures.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Naturally, within any
negotiation, there are opportunities for positive
outcomes and also areas of deep concern. While the
bottom-up, collaborative model of development has
proven itself when it comes to the Internet, not all
countries are willing to accept greater
inclusiveness and transparency. In some proposals,
we see an emphasis on nation-state solutions in
areas where greater cooperation would produce more
robust results. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The promise of the Internet to
connect the unconnected, break down barriers, and
transform lives depends on collaboration between all
engaged and informed stakeholders. The Internet
Society is committed to collaborating with partner
organizations in every region of the world to
increase access to the Internet to further spur
economic and social development. We look forward to
a collaborative and productive dialogue in Busan and
a positive outcome for the future of the Internet.</p>
