[APAC-Discuss] Beijing meeting - your input

[Holly Raiche]

Hi Adam

Great idea.  I"m inclined to agree with you.  The thought of having WCIT on the agenda was really to unpack what the outcomes mean for ICANN and the ITU.  But WTPF is probably better.  I"m sure Paul Wilson would talk, Raj will be in Oz late Feb/early March so we can discuss.  Given the ten strong Oz delegation to WCIT, I"m sure at least one or two of them would be in Beijing (certainly Peter Nettlefold who is now GAC VC).  Any further thoughts?

For each topic proposed, please provide recommendations on relevant discussion leaders.  These discussion leaders should be knowledgeable about the topic/s and respected regionally or globally.  We would like to have discussion leaders from a broad range of stakeholder groups (i.e., government and inter-governmental, business, non-profit/NGO, and end user).

>> Implications of the World Conference on International Telecommunications (WCIT) for the Internet and the Multistakeholder Model;
>> New gTLDs and Implications for the Asia-Pacific and Australasia Region;
