<p>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:</p>
<p>- Markus Kummer, Vice-President Public Policy, Internet Society<br>
- Dominique Lazanski, Tax Payers’ Alliance<br>
- Malcolm Hutty, London Internet Exchange (LINX) and Chair,
EuroISPA<br>
- Desiree Miloshevic, Oxford Internet Institute, Industry
researcher and Visiting Associate</p>
<p>Moderators:<br>
- Jean-Jacques Sahel, UK Chapter of the IIC<br>
- Olivier Crepin-Leblond, UK England Chapter of the Internet
Society</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>There followed a long discussion with full engagement from the
audience. The discussion was held under Chatham House Rule and
was therefore not recorded.<br>
</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>According to feedback from participants, this was a real
success and follow-up events will be organised.<br>
