ITU Role with Regard to International Public Policy Issues Pertaining to the Internet and the Management of Internet Resources, Including Domain Names and Addresses

• We welcome the new forward-looking leadership of Secretary General Touré. We look forward to working closely with him and his new team to ensure that ITU efforts in this regard conserve scarce resources and provide added value, particularly with respect to getting more developing countries involved in these important issues and thus help bring the benefits of the information society to people around the world.
• ITU activities should be consistent with the following principles:

1. Recognize the important roles played by other organizations in this area and the need to focus ITU’s efforts consistent with its mandate that can support these efforts;
2. Ensure that the contributions provided by the ITU add value and do not duplicate work being done elsewhere; and
3. Effectively utilize the ITU’s available budget, which is necessary for greater financial stability.
