Opens<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="COLOR:black">By Sally Wentworth, Vice
President of Global Policy Development<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></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.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></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.
<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <u></u><u></u></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 href="http://www.internetsociety.org/issuesmatrixpp14" target="_blank">www.internetsociety.org/issuesmatrixpp14</a><u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></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:
<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <u></u><u></u></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.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></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. <u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <u></u><u></u></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 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. <u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <u></u><u></u></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.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></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. <u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <u></u><u></u></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.<u></u><u></u></p></div></blockquote></div>
