Four mysterious letters have emerged as the gossip of the global ICT
scene this year: WCIT. They stand for ?World Conference on International
Telecommunications?, a treaty-making negotiation to review the 1988
ITU?s International Telecom Regulations (ITRs) that will take place in
Dubai in December. Behind the rather dull name of this UN Treaty, the
preparatory negotiations have seen a flurry of activities, claims and
demands, on topics ranging from who will govern the architecture and
?domain name? system of the Internet, to online content regulation,
human rights, roaming, or governments setting telecom prices.

 

The IIC UK Chapter will hold an event to discuss the many issues around
Internet governance, with a focus on the ongoing negotiations at the
ITU, which will culminate with the WCIT treaty conference in December in
Dubai, but also look beyond WCIT to ITU?s 2013 WTPF and the 2014-2015
WSIS Review, which will see the same topics debated.
