​We already heard Sally, Leslie, and Andrea's reflections on the Plenipot at the ISOC-DC debrief <http://isoc-ny.org/p2/7227> a month back. Now, Danny Sepulveda is defining it as win for those who were concerned about ITU mission creep in what he terms <https://openinternet.state.gov/message-ambassador-sepulveda/> "the Busan Consensus" - *"In Busan, we established a basis and process that enables the ITU to work within its mandate to promote global connectivity while leaving decisions about how people use that connectivity to more appropriate institutions and deliberations." *This will be the focus of today's discussion. For a wider overview of what went down in Busan read this report <https://www.accessnow.org/blog/2014/12/10/itu-plenipotentiary-2014-impressio...> from ISOC-NY's own Avri Doria.
