[Chapter-delegates] ISOC contributions to ITU WTPF (1)

[Bill Graham]

Dear all,

Following up on the note and documents I sent you a few days ago, I am  
now attaching the 5th document in the series that talks about NGN and  
the Internet, briefly described below.  Once again, your help and  
comments on how we can improve this and the previous package will be  
much appreciated.  Because of the rapid approach of the WTPF, I'd  
really appreciate having your comments on this and the rest of the  
package BEFORE MARCH 5.

Regards,

Bill
