> Four mysterious letters have emerged as the gossip of the global ICT scene this year: WCIT. They stand for ‘World Conference on International Telecommunications’, a treaty-making negotiation to review the 1988 ITU’s International Telecom Regulations (ITRs) that will take place in Dubai in December. Behind the rather dull name of this UN Treaty, the preparatory negotiations have seen a flurry of activities, claims and demands, on topics ranging from who will govern the architecture and ‘domain name’ system of the Internet, to online content regulation, human rights, roaming, or governments setting telecom prices.
>  
> The IIC UK Chapter will hold an event to discuss the many issues around Internet governance, with a focus on the ongoing negotiations at the ITU, which will culminate with the WCIT treaty conference in December in Dubai, but also look beyond WCIT to ITU’s 2013 WTPF and the 2014-2015 WSIS Review, which will see the same topics debated.
