Julián,<div><br></div><div>gracias por este envío. Sólo una nota de atención, este comunicado es de la ITUC, confederación internacional de sindicatos. </div><div><br></div><div>Esta organización inició una campaña muy amplia contra las medidas restrictivas de Internet que pueden surgir de la CMTI-12 o WCIT. El día de ayer, la UIT, a través de Alex Ntoko y de su oficina de prensa, descalificó los comunicados de la ITUC y en consecuencia se llevó a cabo la reunión mencionada en el comunicado de la ITUC que transmites.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Es muy problemática la actitud demostrada por la UIT, que incluso en sus signos de apertura se vuelve a manifestar contraria a todo el modelo "multistakeholder", sigue manteniendo bajo llave la casi totalidad de documentos relevantes (sólo ha abierto realmente uno), y sigue operando en forma corporativista (su única apertura real ante la ITUC consistió en invitar a los sindicatos de trabajadores de telecomunicaciones a ingresar como miembro sectorial, e invitar a empresas no miembros sectoriales, sociedad civil y comunidad técnica a integrarse dentro de las delegaciones nacionales, que como sabemos son prerrogativa de los gobiernos). </div>
<div><br></div><div>Parece importante apoyar la campaña de la ITUC y Greenpeace dirigiendo mensajes como el suyo - o respaldando el mismo - al Secretario General de la ONU para que interponga sus buenos oficios en contra de esas medidas y a favor de un proceso abierto y transparente. </div>

INTERNATIONAL TRADE UNION CONFEDERATION<br>
<br>
ITU Refuses Proposals for Open Discussion of Plans to Regulate Internet<br>
<br>
Geneva, 15 November 2012(ITUC Media Release): The International Trade<br>
Union Confederation (ITUC) today met with Dr Hamadoun Toure, Head of the<br>
UN’s International Telecommunication Union, to take internet regulation<br>
proposals off the agenda of the World Conference on International<br>
Telecommunication (WCIT-12) due to take place in Dubai in December. ITUC<br>
General Secretary Sharan Burrow said that the internet had always been<br>
managed by a multi-stakeholder approach, but that the proposed changes<br>
would radically undermine this model and seriously alter internet<br>
governance.<br>
<br>
“This is not a process that the UN should stamp as having legitimacy when<br>
governments and in particular telecoms ministries are simply negotiating on<br>
their own interests, in a forum without proper civil society engagement. We<br>
strongly oppose plans which would increase costs, reduce the spread of the<br>
internet and increase net censorship at the expense of human rights.<br>
<br>
“We put a proposal to the ITU today to take the damaging proposals off the<br>
table at Dubai, and join a broad, open and multi-stakeholder process that<br>
would bring together all the government, civil society and business<br>
interests to look at the future of the internet. Regrettably, the ITU<br>
rejected this.”<br>
<br>
“The danger for the upcoming World Conference on International<br>
Telecommunications (WCIT-12) is that certain governments will attempt to<br>
undermine the multi-stakeholder approach behind closed doors and without<br>
full transparency.<br>
<br>
“Certain proposed changes cause a great deal of alarm to the global labour<br>
movement - in particular, introduction of a pricing regime; requirements<br>
that the internet only be used in a ‘rational’ way - these are changes that<br>
ought to be openly debated; not behind closed doors as the ITU plans.<br>
<br>
“We can’t afford to have vested interests of some governments and<br>
telecommunications companies take over the internet as we know it.<br>
<br>
“An internet totally controlled by government and big business contradicts<br>
the very essence of what the internet represents - open and free access for<br>
all.<br>
<br>
“These are hugely important issues, which should be dealt with in an open,<br>
transparent and inclusive way,” said Ms Burrow.<br>
<br>
Phillip Jennings, the General Secretary of UNI Global Union which<br>
represents workers in the telecoms and internet sectors, called on the ITU<br>
to accept trade unions as full discussion partners, which it had never done<br>
despite repeated requests from UNI.<br>
<br>
The meeting with Dr Toure came a week after Equal Times launched ‘Stop the<br>
net grab’, a global online campaign to press for an open consultation on<br>
internet regulation<br>

The ITUC and Greenpeace signaled their concerns in a joint letter to<br>
UN Secretary General Ban K-moon last Friday.<br>
