If you are, like me, not in Busan, South Korea, for the 2014 ITU Plenipotentiary Conference but are curious about what is going on there, my Internet Society colleagues on our public policy team have been posting regular updates to the Internet Society’s blog and to the @ISOCPolicy Twitter account.

Some of the recent posts include:

Oct 16 – On The Road To Busan
Oct 19 – ITU Plenipotentiary 2014 Opens
Oct 23 – Plenipot Update 23 October: Election Results, Ad hoc Groups, and Formal Sessions
Oct 23 – Congratulations to Mr. Houlin Zhao
Oct 24 – Plenipot Update 24 October: New Leadership of the ITU

With two more weeks to go I expect we’ll be seeing many more updates in the days ahead.

I would also note that the team is constantly updating a matrix of key resolutions and issues to watch at the 2014 ITU Plenipot. This is a very comprehensive matrix tracking proposals and issues that the Internet Society public policy team believe may impact the future development of the Internet.

Given that I work in the technology side of Internet Society’s work and don’t have the cycles to keep up-to-date with everything going on there in Busan, I’ve found these updates very helpful in understanding some of the major events happening at the ITU Plenipot 2014. I thought I’d pass along the links in case any of you reading CircleID might also find them helpful!
