[cooperation-wg] WTSA

Hi,

As we are moving into a new ITU planning cycle, with specifically WTSA later during 2016 that sets the Study Groups, it is important that we all decide what organization we would like to deal with what issues.

To help with this preparatory work ISOC have created this document that I think makes it quite clear what issues might come up:

<http://www.internetsociety.org/doc/itu-world-telecommunication-standardization-assembly-2016-background-paper>

One of the main reasons I think this is important is that we have a terrible experience when ITU-T started to discuss MPLS related issues, something already dealt with in the IETF and we can not have the same overlap between organizations again.

Because of this, now is the time to ensure ITU-T do not bring up issues already dealt with in other organizations, and in a similar way we should not redo in non-ITU-T environments things dealt with in ITU-T.

I for example think it is of ultimate importance that any IP address policy (of any shape or form) is deal with in the RIRs. And not in any ITU-T study group.

And I ask whether this WG is where coordination in the RIPE Community can take place?
