June 19, 2017 SUMMARY (provided in submitted document and comment box): The principle that data should be borderless and that it should flow freely is a policy decision that has profound effects. Some base that principle on the idea that data is a commodity that should be freely traded. But the idea that data should flow freely does not actually flow logically from the idea that data is a commodity: commodities are and the producers of raw material are compensated for providing that material to the industries that transform it and add value to it. Further, the idea that data is a commodity to be freely traded contradicts fundamental human rights. And the benefits of free flow of data have been overstated: indeed free flow of data likely increases income inequality. is no obvious justification for policies favouring the free flow of data other than to allow OTTs to continue to accumulate huge profits (often monopoly profits) by extracting and refining data, without paying taxes and without compensating the users who produce the data in the first place. As a consequence, there should be a moratorium on negotiations regarding the free flow of data.

SUMMARY (provided in submitted document): International development leads to the creation and implementation of innovations which is a common framework of products and ideas of all the nations in the world.

Developing countries were typically late to understand their real implications, by which time

Internal factors: - Strengths are capabilities that enable the organization to perform well –capabilities that need to be leveraged. - Weaknesses are characteristics that affect the good performance of the organization and need to be addressed. External factors: - Opportunities are trends, forces, events and ideas that the organization can capitalize on. - Threats are possible events or forces outside of the control of the organization that the organization needs to mitigate. Values ITU's shared and common beliefs that drive its priorities and guide all processes. Vision The better world ITU wants to see.

Relocating garbage dumps doesn’t necessarily solve this incredibly unhealthful problem. Laws preceding the discovery of this problem were predictably relaxed in terms of garbage disposal. Since the discovery, authorities have proceeded to toughen these laws and have injected funds into reevaluating ongoing practices. Interjection of environmental organizations has helped to convince an incredulous public of the depth of the problem and the need to recycle. Some garbage dumps have receded in size, but most have increased as the unbelievable amount of garbage produced continues to multiply unnecessarily.

1 The purpose of this document is to provide an update of the progress achieved towards the implementation of the JIU benchmarks for the Accountability Framework (AF). 2 ITU’s accountability framework builds upon the three main pillars based on a structure presented in the JIU report as shown below. PILLAR 1 Covenant with Member States, Sector Members, Associates, Academia, and users of ITU’s Services PILLAR 2 Internal Controls and Risk Management PILLAR 3 Complaints and Response Mechanism ITU’s Basic Instruments, relevant agreements and treaties ITU’s Results Framework Control Environment Control activities Risk assessment Monitoring Procurement ITU’s staff Membership & other users of ITU services 3 ITU’s Accountability Framework will be reviewed periodically in to strengthen the organizational capacity and to ensure continued relevance. It will be updated to reflect new requirements or improvements arising from new initiatives or lessons learned. ITU will ensure that the Accountability Framework remains relevant to the mandate and objectives of the Union. ITU will also continue to ensure that the Union’s Accountability Framework responds to evolving circumstances and takes into account the best practices in the UN system. 4 The table reflected in the Annex provides an update of the progress achieved towards the implementation of the JIU benchmarks for the Accountability Framework (AF) for the three main pillars described above.
