Gents,

I know we are getting a bit off topic, but please indulge me:

For the purposes of ITU work, shouldn't their work be transparent (as
in all WGs and meeting contents be publicly available a la
ICANN/IETF/RIRs).

I know it's a highly restricted "club" for telcos and their ilk, but
IF the CIA/NSA REALLY wants to know what goes on, the USG has their
own ITU reps.

For non-ITU work, of course, government officials using  free webmail
services is probably not a good idea (See Sarah Palin fiasco).

While it is true that they can use IPSec/VPN or SSL/VPN and IPv4 at
the moment, I suspect that many do not. Certainly, here in UG, the
government has been urged to get a V4 allocation, but have so far not
done so (yet AFAIK).
