[Chapter-delegates] Call with Chapters in advance of the ITU Plenipotentiary 2018 (18 Oct, 10:00 and 20:00 UTC)

[Alejandro Pisanty]

Richard,

thanks for conveying the ITU view. We should now continue to work on the
ISOC view.

Borka, Nadira, some of our chapters have taken part in consultations
convened by governments in the preparatory stages and otherwise made
expressions to them in the sense that the scope of the ITU with respect to
the Internet should be kept restrained as much as possible. We have a
slight chance of making known now that the "Internet resolutions" are not
complying with that view, both in direct correspondence and in open ways,
through social media. At least in the Plenipot eight years ago, some
resolutions were becoming the laughing stock of the Internet (such as
refusing to mention ICANN, the IETF, the RIRs and ISOC by name, not even in
footnotes.) Public, social-media pressure was effective then. The national
delegates and the ITU authorities may have become more impervious to this
kind of pressure but we will not know if no one tries.
