          is holding a consultation on its work to develop indicators
          for Internet Universality.  This consultation is open until 31
          October, and I am writing (on behalf of the consortium
          responsible for developing indictor proposals) to ask if you

          Internet development, which are concerned with Rights,
          Openness, Access and Multistakeholder Participation (the
          R-O-A-M principles).  The indicators which are to be developed
          will be used to assess progress towards an Internet which is
          consistent with the R-O-A-M principles at national and

          Communications, together with research partners from four
          continents (Research ICT Africa, LIRNEasia, DIRSI and ict
          Development Associates).  Particular attention is being paid,
          within the R-O-A-M framework, to indicators concerned with

          partners are keen to ensure that as many stakeholders as
          possible contribute to the development of these indicators.
