[atlarge-discuss] WG-ITU-I

["J-F C. (Jefsey) Morfin" <jefsey@club-internet.fr>]

Dear all,
I suggest that time has come - after the ERC, the ITU-T proposition, the 
cyberspace US policy disclosure, the Marrakech meeting, the Geneva ccTLD 
meeting, the WSIS, the "national digital sovereignty affirmation" drift vs 
the "States digital sovereignty respect", Richard Hill's contributions, 
etc. - to start working on the future of the relations of the internet 
governance with the ITU.

There are many matters to consider as it will most probably lead us to 
redefine who we are because we will not only refer to the ICANN part of the 
governance as we do for 5 years, but also, starting with ITU, to other 
bodies such as IAB/IETF, W3C, ISOC, MINC, WIPO, WTO, UNESCO, NatAids, 
Edifact, States, consumer organizations, etc. as ICANN did though the ERC 
effort.

I suggest that to carry that work we create an open cross constituency 
dedicated interest group. The mission of that group would be to define and 
structure a general proposition within the WSIS framework for an I Sector 
(Internet) in the ITU. Its members, its possible organization, its various 
economical model, its role, its organization rules, its testing tools, its 
relations with the R and T sectors and with ICANN, its consumer 
representation, its internal mutual private/social interests protection 
mechanisms, its representation of the civil society as proposed by the UN 
General Secretary and partly implemented through the WSIS preparatory work, 
its multilingual support, its standardization process, its societal best 
practices, its fight against the digital divide, its modelization of the 
e-network society, its support to innovation, its management of the 
technical operations and evolution of the network (IANA, IPv6, parallel 
roots, concerted TLD creation, ENUM), etc.
