London: ISOC UK England and the English Chapter of the International
Institute of Communications held a joint meeting on 30 October 2012 with
several speakers, discussing WCIT issues. Speakers included:

- Markus Kummer, Vice-President Public Policy, Internet Society
- Dominique Lazanski, Tax Payers' Alliance
- Malcolm Hutty, London Internet Exchange (LINX) and Chair, EuroISPA
- Desiree Miloshevic, Oxford Internet Institute, Industry researcher and
Visiting Associate

Moderators:
- Jean-Jacques Sahel, UK Chapter of the IIC
- Olivier Crepin-Leblond, UK England Chapter of the Internet Society

Simon Towler, UK government representative who will lead the UK
Delegation at WCIT in Dubai, was present and intervened from the floor.
Many of the participants will be in the UK delegation.

There followed a long discussion with full engagement from the audience.
The discussion was held under Chatham House Rule and was therefore not
recorded.

Snacks and drinks were served after over two hours of discussion
touching on WCIT, the Internet Ecosystem, why some countries trust the
ITU to do a better job than the current ecosystem and what happens after
the Dubai conference.

According to feedback from participants, this was a real success and
follow-up events will be organised.

discussion can be found on the ISOC Web site:

We hope to see you in our next meeting which is likely to take place in
early 2013. More information will be send on our mailing list when the
time/date/subject is decided.

Best regards,

Olivier MJ Crépin-Leblond
ISOC England Chair
