NRO Observations on WCIT-12 Process
________________________________________________________________________
The Number Resource Organization (NRO) issued a statement on the
outcomes of the recent World Conference on International
Telecommunications (WCIT) 12 process expressing its concern about
aspects of the meetings, in particular, events from the last few days of
the conference. Unfortunately, anticipated discussions were eclipsed by
other debates, and did not satisfy initial expectations that:
1. WCIT would have no bearing on the Internet, its governance or
its content, and
2. The event would allow all voices to be heard.
Importantly, the NRO also expressed concern that open multi-stakeholder
conduct did not occur.
The NRO strongly supports the WSIS 2005 principles on multi-stakeholder
Internet governance, and will continue to participate in the ITU in
expectation that the ITU's processes can evolve visibly and rapidly
towards these accepted principles.
