World Trust Signatories Association
Memorandum of Support
To Drs. Hamadoun Touré and
Alexander Ntoko
We who have signed this Memorandum of Support have read the
International Telecommunication Union's
World e-Trust Memorandum of Understanding
"the MoU". We
are individuals
and thus are not eligible to become signatories to the MoU.
Notwithstanding that ineligibility, we are in support of the objectives
and methods described the MoU.
We understand that the Charter of the International Telecommunication
Union specifies that its actions be governed by the consensus of its
members. We further understand
that the ITU's Global Cybersecurity Agenda, its Botnet Mitigation
initiative, and other efforts to reduce fraud, predation, crime and the
spread of malware via the Internet
must be managed in accordance with the ITU Charter.
However, we feel that the increasing incidence of such online fraud,
predation, crime and spread of malware calls for decisive action by the
ITU's leadership. We believe
that it is the intent of the ITU's leadership to produce and implement
plans to mitigate these problems as quickly as possible. Hereby we the
Signatories to the World Trust Memorandum of Support go on record as
encouraging the leadership of the ITU to proceed with all due speed
and decisiveness in solving the problems of fraud, predation, crime and
the spread of malware on the Internet.
Sincerely,
