Date & Time: Tuesday, 24. July 2012, 17:00 UTC
Venue: WebEx
This webinar was organized for Chapter leaders in preparation of the International Telecommunication Union (ITU)'s World Conference on International Telecommunications (WCIT) and World Telecommunication Standardization Assembly (WTSA) in December this year. As you probably know, the decisions made by governments at WCIT could redefine the international regulatory environment for the Internet and telecoms in the 21st century and beyond – impacting how people around the world are able to use the Internet.
The purpose of this initial webinar is to give an introduction to WTSA/WCIT, including the ITU timeline of events and the ITU process. It will also offer an opportunity to explore ways of how Chapters can become involved in the process.
Other webinars has been run in English on 10 July 2012 at 10:30 UTC and 20:00 UTC and in French on 17 July, 13:00 UTC.
