[cooperation-wg] Euro-IX EC Position Statement on the Review of the ITRs

I endorse the statement.

However I believe that the Internet community must show itself to be more
pro-active in acknowledging the right of Governments to govern.

It would have been useful, for example, to direct readers of this statement
to the activities of the Internet Governance Forums, the RIRs, NOGs etc.

 

The Internet is not Uncontrolled.  But it is not something that fits the
remit of ITU.  The Internet makes use of Telecommunication networks, but it
is not Telecommunication itself.

 

Regards

Steve Nash

Euro-IX Executive Committee Position Statement on the Review of the
International Telecommunication Regulations (ITRs)

 

Amsterdam, The Netherlands 18 October 2012

 

In December 2012, the World Conference on International Telecommunications
will consider a review of the International Telecommunication Regulations.
As some proposed amendments may have a negative impact on the future of the
Internet, the Euro-IX Board (Executive Committee) has prepared a Position
Statement. The statement lists the points which are considered important to
ensure the open, competitive and innovative nature of the Internet in the
future.

 

The Euro-IX Board has encouraged the members of Euro-IX to talk to their
Government representatives and share the position statement with them and
also with the members (customers, participants) of the exchange point.

 

The position statement can be found in the link below -
