Subject: Request for help for Ukraine from IP list
Dave,
I am currently in Kiev, Ukraine, working with Internews and the newly
formed Ukranian National Commission on Communications Regulation, the
intended equivalent of our FCC in the United States.
The Commission was established within the last month. They have no
building and no money yet, and as you can imagine given the recent
Orange Revolution, there are political overtones of everything
related to them.
I met one of the 8 members today, an author of previous
telecommunications law for the country. He is desperate to find
descriptions of similar organizations, FCC, OFCOM, etc. that describe
their organization and structure, operation, budget and staffing
etc., i.e. anything that would provide the Commission with models for
how to structure themselves effectively and then begin to function.
Materials will have to be translated into Ukranian, so really lengthy
texts won't be of much value.
Can your IP readers point us towards such texts, preferably but not
necessarily on-line? At this point, anything relevant will help. In
addition, are any of your readers fluent in either Russian or
Ukrainian and also consultants who could address these questions
knowledgeably in on-site training activities?
Regards,
George Sadowsky
