Please find below a response from Richard Hill, of the International

Reform which was sent yesterday. Point 5 of our letter specifically

Dear Mr. Wallis,

With respect to point 5 of your letter, consumer interests could
participate in any ITU process, including any potential discussions
regarding IP-based networks and IP-based services, by joining ITU as
Sector Members, or ITU-T as Associate Members.  Certain groups may also
qualify for A.4 status.

Full information on the membership programs can be found at:

  http://www.itu.int/members/index.html

  http://www.itu.int/ITU-T/membership/index.html

and

  http://www.itu.int/ITU-T/membership/associates.html

Information on A.4 status can be found in ITU-T Recommendation A.4,
which can be downloaded for free at:

 
http://www.itu.int/rec/recommendation.asp?type=products&lang=e&parent=T-
REC-A

With respect to point 10, ITU-T could work with GAC and ITU-T Member
States to help ICANN to develop the minimum standards you mention, if
ITU-T Member States authorize such work and if ICANN requests the
assistance of ITU-T.

Sincerely,
Richard Hill
