I share your concern on this. I and a few others have made the same
comments regarding such models at varying levels of ICT participation
withing the Latin American and Caribbean regions. I'd like to see this
done by a team, and if necessary I will be a part of such a team - but I
would require more communication with the public by the CS Plenary and
associated caucuses. Note, I did not say broadcast - instead,
'communication'. Discussion.
