 We're here at the ITU studio in Geneva, and I'm very pleased to be joined by Mr. Majed Amaziyed, who is General Manager of International Affairs for the Communications, Information and Technology Commission for Saudi Arabia, and he's also Chairman of the Council Working Group for International Internet Public Policy for the ITU. Mr. Amaziyed, thank you very much indeed for being with us today. It's my pleasure. I wanted to start off by talking about the Council Working Group that you're Chairman International Internet-related public policy issues have been at the center of global attention. What's the Council Working Group's mandate and your role as Chairman? The Council Working Group was established based on a decision by the Plenty Potentiary 2010 in Guadalajara. The former Council Working Group used to be the dedicated group on international and international public policy issues. It was established based on the WhatsApp results in 2008 in Johannesburg. The mandate of the Council Working Group is to identify and develop matters related to international and international public policy issues. The Council in 2009 has decided, based on the Resolution 1305, to identify a list of public policy issues. We have taken some of these public policy issues into consideration in the discussion in the Council Working Group. Will you be conducting open consultations with all the stakeholders and what's the scope of these discussions? Definitely. The last session of the Council decided on the modalities of the open consultation. As I recall, it's Resolution 1344 which decided on the modalities and the last meeting, the second meeting of the Council Working Group, the group decided on three issues to be taken to open consultation. The first one is the relates to compacting spam and the second one has to deal with the internet protocols of the IPV4 and the last one relates to the development of the internet. It's a complex matter but will you collate the respective positions of stakeholders for presentation to the Plenty Potentiary Conference in 2014? Based on the modalities that have been decided by the Council in 2012, all the inputs will be posted in the website of the Council Working Group and these inputs will be considered by the Council Working Group and based on the reports that will be taken to the Plenty Potentiary, all these inputs will be reflected. And finally, what further steps do you think will be required internationally to arrive at consensus? There is a good collaboration in the participants of the group. There need to be more contribution from some of the member states who has not contributed so to address the concerns of all the member states in regards to these issues relates to the international public policy issues. Mr Thomas here, thank you very much for being with us today. Thank you very much, my pleasure.
