[lac-discuss-es] ITU Council on proposal for public consultation and open access

Lun Jul 16 01:18:09 UTC 2012

Natalia, todos,

atención a lo siguiente:

1. Olivier equivoca el significado de las siglas WCIT. Hay dos eventos con las mismas siglas. WCIT, World Congress on Information Technology, es un evento de la WITSA y asociaciones anexas y amigas, es decir de la industria de TI. WCIT, World Conference on International Telecommunications, es el evento de la UIT que se lleva a cabo en Dubai del 3 al 14 de diciembre de 2012 y es motivo de preocupación.

2. La UIT efectivamente está dando un paso que antes no había dado al abrir algunos documentos y espacios al público en general. Sin embargo, esta apertura no es suficiente - ni cerca siquiera - para calificar con los criterios de la CMSI o WSIS. 

Vean en http://www.publicknowledge.org/public-knowledge-disappointed-itu-documents-remain la reacción de Public Knowledge: los documentos que la UIT ha hecho públicos ya habían sido filtrados y son parciales; y la UIT debería abrir el acceso a todos los documentos relevantes para el proceso de negociación de los ITRs.

Vean también la reacción de la organización access en https://www.accessnow.org/policy-activism/press-blog/itu-governing-council-to-post-some-planning-materials-rejects-open-access que apunta a la ausencia de debate "multistakeholder" efectivo y llama a los gobiernos a hacer públicas sus propuestas y documentos de planeación, y dialogar de manera efectiva con todos quienes serán afectados por la Conferencia.

Esto sirve para dar aún mayor firmeza y urgencia al mensaje de ISOC que incluíste en el envío.

Cordial saludo,

Alejandro Pisanty

Asunto: [lac-discuss-es] ITU Council on proposal for public consultation        and open access

Buenas tardes:

Les reenvío el link de la noticia que indica que el Consejo de la UIT ha
decidido hacer públicos los documentos relativos al WCIT-12  - CWG-WCIT
TD-64 (the draft ITRs) (http://www.itu.int/en/wcit-12)  y que habra
espacios públicos disponibles en el sitio para que los diferentes actores
coloquen sus opiniones y comentarios.  Los documentos estarán disponibles
en los 6 idiomas de la ONU.

Este tema se debatió en Praga, ya que las modificaciones propuestas a los
tratados de los años 80 comprometen al modelo multistakeholder.

Landmark decision by ITU Council on proposal for public consultation and
open access to key conference document: Online public platforms will be
created to enable multi-stakeholder consultation....

http://www.itu.int/net/pressoffice/press_releases/2012/46.aspx

Así mismo el Presidente de ALAC envió un mail sobre este tema para que
desde At-Large cada uno en sus países contacten con sus gobernantes
encargados y discutir sobre el tema. Además habrá en la wiki de ALAC links
de artículos y noticias de interés sobre el tema para que nos informemos
mejor. Abajo copio el mail.

Saludos,

Natalia

> *ITU Council Decision on WCIT Open Access to ITR Documents*
>
> 11 July 2012 the ITU Council discussed a process regarding open and
> unrestricted access to WCIT and ITR proposals and documents.
>
> The Sec Gen presented a plan to make the CWG-WCIT document TD-64 openly
> accessible to the public to address the public request for access,
> openness and transparency.  The SecGen also proposed that any CWG-WCIT
> proposals that are made openly accessible should be posted without any
> reference to their source contributor.  There was also a proposal by
> Japan to make CWG-WCIT TD-62 (the compilation of proposals) openly
> accessible as this would assist in national consultations.  However,
> there were other countries that wanted all ITR proposals to be withheld
> from the public and not accessible without a TIES password.  In
> addition, it was noted that changes to the procedures to enable the
> publication of proposals to ITU conferences will need ITU
> Plenipotentiary Conference consideration in 2014 before any open process
> can be adopted.  In the meantime, it is up to Member States to conduct
> open consultations to prepare for WCIT where the Member State can freely
> share its proposals and information.
>
> Secretary General Toure also presented a proposal for a public online
> consultation to be moderated by his office where all stakeholders would
> have the opportunity to submit proposals and comments on the ITRs. The
> Secretary General thought that  this would allow the ITU to strengthen
> its credibility and reputation as well as the credibility of the WCIT
> process, which have both been victim to a series of inaccurate media
> reports.  The SecGen also noted that proceeding with an open
> consultation will continue to foster an image of the ITU as an open,
> transparent and listening organization; and will provide a transparent
> platform for all stakeholders to engage, participate and air their
> views.  Submissions to the ?Public Consultation? would be posted on the
> WCIT-12 web site and MAY be considered by Member States when preparing
> their proposals for the ITRs.
