[Esther Joly]

It¹s a good idea : submitting a strong reform proposal to the ITU Secretary
general.

Dear all

ITU and gender equality : a quasi antinomy ?

Despite recurrent solemn speeches of its Secretary general in international
arenas since a decade, the "board" of the ITU which is elected during the
Plenipotentiary Conference (ITU jargon : PP) is still exclusively made up of
men : Mr Utsumi (Secretary general), Mr Blois (deputy Secretary general), Mr
Toure (Diector of ITU-D), Mr Zhao (Director ITU-T, Mr Timofeev (Director
ITU-R. And even its most important consultative groups are quasi exclusively
masculine. 

Are ICTs a pure men's affair ? Let's see what will come out of the hats
during PP 06. I guess the same scenario will go on.

I therefore urge our very active "Gender Caucus" to react accordingly by
submitting a strong reform proposal to the ITU Secretary general.

Best regards

Jean-Louis Fullsack
