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

[Grigori Saghyan]

  Dear Veni,
Agree with your vision, any government in his activity is general must 
reflect wishes of its population. As a part of population ISOC chapter 
active members  have to be involved in government activity in ITU. 
Necessary also to understand - in which countries it is most important 
and effective.  ITU structure is complicated, there are few informal 
leading countries like US, Germany, Russia, France, UK,  and they are 
forming the ITU policy. Each of these leading countries have, let us 
say, followers. For Russia it is CIS counties, and before Plenipot these 
followers
accept leading country as a proxy, formally or informally. Today this 
situation looks reasonable, because new countries  do not have enough 
experience not only in technical, but also political field, but tomorrow 
we shall see new developments and it is necessary to be online.
