[Chapter-delegates] Report from ITU Plenipotentiary Conference, week 1

[Veni Markovski]

Thanks, again.
On a little different topic.

After just speaking at the Working Group - Plenary on the issue of IPv4 -
IPv6 allocation, I realized that there's a way for ISOC to *actually* help
in all these discussions at the ITU.
*
ISOC should create a program, similar to the IGF ambassadors program.*

I wish that I was not the only ISOC Chapter president being on a
governmental delegation, and having the right to speak at the ITU Plenipot,
and at other ITU-related meetings. I wish that ISOC would reach out to all
chapters and ask them to speak to their respected governments, and see which
one could attend these meetings as part of the governmental delegations.
Because, it is good that there is someone from ISOC here, but only 1 (one)
person is not enough. We need to have more people, and not just sitting in
the back of the room, but actually speaking.
For everyone - Bill Graham... *can not *take the floor (sic!), unless some
government asks the chair of a concrete meeting to allow Bill to speak. This
is how ITU works. Sector members can stay in the room, but can't speak.
Perhaps another example why the WSIS and the IGF are more open and
transparent ;)

So, I'd like to hear ISOC if they would agree on creating a program to
support participation of active chapter members at ITU meetings, not only as
observers, but as speakers, as well.

thanks,
veni
