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

[Franck Martin]

Bill,

A big general comment, which makes me very uneasy with all these documents. There are no reference to the work the chapters are doing at the local/regional level. What comes to mind is: ISOC France and the law on copyright, what ISOC-ECC is doing with europe, what PICISOC is doing on creating a Pacific Cert, What ISOC-NY, ISOC-AU are doing for the promotion of IPv6. And not being on the top of things, I think my fellow chairs of chapters could add to this list.

I have seen in some documents you have spoken of the work the NOGs, the RIR, and others are doing, why silence radio on chapters work done?

If I had the right to veto, I would veto, till this is corrected. It is a pity, they are well written but I cannot let that pass.

And this is something you can correct easily, I don't ask much but some mention which will show that:
1) ISOC is not American
2) ISOC has global reach

Now some other comments:
On internet standards, it would have been nice to mention that:
1) IEEE is defining the hardware level on which the internet is built upon
2) W3C is defining the presentation of some the content transported by the Internet

The IETF nebula, works with these 2 organisations to build the Internet. This will show by omission that ITU-T (and ITU) is not exactly the right place to build the future.

IP, MPLS, and SIP are IETF protocols. You forgot to mention SIP (in reference to h232, which is now well dead). 

As a side note, did you notice the spam page on the ITU website as not been updated since 2006? So not sure they are working for user safeguard on the Internet...

I'll write more as it comes to mind.

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
