Subject: [ITAC] Open Consultation for CWG-Internet Now Available

 

Good morning,

 

For everyone’s awareness, the online consultation for the October meeting of the ITU Council Working Group on International Internet Public Policy Issues (CWG-Internet) is now open to all stakeholders. As decided at the February 2015 meeting of the CWG-Internet, the topic of the consultation is as follows:

 

"With a view to discussing the establishment of Internet Exchange Points (IXPs) to advance connectivity, improve service quality and increase network stability and resilience, fostering competition and reducing interconnection costs, as proposed by Opinion 1 of WTPF-13 and consistent with PP-14 Resolutions 101 and 102, stakeholders are invited to elaborate and exemplify on the challenges faced and identify widely accepted best practices for the design, installation and operation of IXPs."

 

The deadline for submissions is August 28^th.  To submit inputs or for further information, please visit the following link: http://www.itu.int/en/council/cwg-internet/Pages/consultation-june2015.aspx

 

For some background, the Plenipotentiary Conference 2014 instructed the ITU Council to revise its Resolution 1344 to direct the Council Working Group on international Internet-related public policy issues (CWG-Internet), limited to Member States, with open consultation to all stakeholders, and to conduct such open consultation according to specific guidelines. As a result the ITU Council in its 2015 session resolved that the CWG-Internet should hold both open online consultation and physical open consultation meetings, with remote participation, within a defined period prior to each CWG-Internet meeting. 

ITU Council also resolved that all relevant inputs received in the open consultation will be available to the CWG-Internet and all other stakeholders on a dedicated publicly accessible webpage of the CWG-Internet website. Relevant inputs from the open online consultation on the topic(s) decided by the CWG-Internet will form the basis of discussion at the physical open consultation meetings and all relevant responses will be submitted to the CWG-Internet for consideration of the issues chosen for its next meeting. 

 

Please let me know if you have any questions.

 

Thank you,

Micaela
