Additional Panelists Will Be Confirmed
The Internet has played a historic and integral role as an outlet for free 
expression and economic growth. A gathering of United Nations (UN) diplomats 
overseas has recently raised concerns among some about a potential takeover of 
the Internet by foreign powers, with others claiming such concerns are 
unfounded. The International Telecommunication Union (ITU), a branch of the UN 
whose 193 member states also includes the U.S., is hosting a Working Group 
meeting on June 20-22, 2012 in Geneva, Switzerland. The purpose of the 
conference is to seek consensus for an updating of the last set of 
international telecom regulations, also known as ITRs, which were issued in 
1988. This panel briefing provides an important opportunity for a timely and 
informative panel discussion for Congressional Members and Staff about upcoming 
major developments at the UN/ITU that could significantly affect the governance 
of the Internet. The Geneva conference is part of a series of meetings to be 
held in advance of a December conference in Dubai, known as the World 
Conference on International Telecommunications (WCIT). The ramifications of 
Internet governance are enormous. We have assembled a distinguished panel of 
experts and government officials to discuss this important and timely issue. 
This briefing is of interest to policymakers and stakeholders working Internet 
and international technology policy issues. As the briefing will be held weeks 
prior to a major ITU council meeting, we strongly encourage your attendance and 
participation.


This widely attended educational briefing is hosted by the Congressional 
Internet Caucus Advisory Committee (ICAC), part of a 501 (c)(3) charitable 
organization. Congressional staff and members of the press welcome. The ICAC is 
a private sector organization comprised of public interest groups, trade 
associations, non-profits, and corporations. More information on the ICAC is 
available at www.netcaucus.org.
