 We're here at Wicked 2012 in Dubai in the United Arab Emirates, and I'm very pleased to be joined by Ambassador Philip Vivier, who is U.S. Coordinator for International Information Policy. Ambassador Vivier, thank you very much indeed for being with us today. Thank you. It's a pleasure to be here. I'd like to start off by asking you, what have your impressions been after day one at Wicked? Well, the impressions I think are, I know, are very favorable. Our host country has done an excellent job of preparing for the conference. The facilities here are at first rate, but much more importantly, Chairman Al-Ghanim of the UAE, who is chairing the conference, has done an excellent job of moving the agenda along, of keeping the conference on track. And so it leaves me with a great deal of optimism that we're going to have a successful conference. And what are the key issues that you're concerned about here? Well, the United States has one overarching issue, which is a concern about anything that might affect Internet governance. Now, we have the assurance of the Secretary General. We have other reasons to be confident that there's going to be no direct effort at affecting Internet governance at this conference. But there are some proposals that have come in that have potentially indirect effects on issues that might affect the Internet. For example, certain of the jurisdictional arrangements having to do with the International Telecommunications Regulations could expand the jurisdiction of the ITRs in ways that we would find troubling. We also have some concerns about questions of traffic management, questions about whether or not there are reasons to affect the architectures that our transmission systems use today. So we want to be very alert about that. And of course, as always with the United States, we're very alert about issues having to do with content that we're most anxious that there not be anything that would suggest control over content. That said, I am optimistic that in fact the conference is not going to intrude into areas that would be a source of concern to us. I was going to ask you, what are the key issues that you'll be most hopeful about then? Well, I think that we're obviously most hopeful that the conference will end up concluding explicitly or implicitly that the way to deal with the very legitimate questions about extension of broadband, about the availability and affordability of broadband, for example, will deal with these questions at least implicitly in terms of recognizing the advantages of privatized liberalized approaches to the organization of industry, that they will see the obvious advantages of rule of law and security of investment in terms of securing the kinds of investments that we're going to need going forward to assure that we have adequate broadband capacity. And finally, what would a successful Wicked look like to you? I think a successful Wicked would end up with ITRs that aren't vastly changed from the ones that we know today. They have worked very, very well from a pragmatic perspective. These are things that we think ought to be preserved and continue to be acted upon. This is a sector that has enjoyed enormous success in the 24 years since the ITRs were last significantly dealt with. And we think that we ought to go with a winner. We have a winner. We ought to go with it. Ambassador Filipovia, thank you very much indeed for being with us today. Thank you for having me.
