ITU believes the concerns raised by the ongoing SEP litigation are of utmost importance to the ICT industry as a whole. Therefore, ITU will leverage its public-private membership base, among other characteristics of the Union, to bring the various stakeholders together to engage in conversations on this subject. The purpose of the ITU Patent Roundtable is to provide a neutral, international forum in which the various ICT stakeholders can voice their respective positions and concerns on, discuss, exchange ideas about, and brainstorm possible compromises or solutions to this serious problem, including the role of SDOs and their patent policies.

The San Diego Wildfires Crisis: Hidden Consequences of Urban Sprawl and Unequal Media Representation
A Roundtable follow up to the 2008 Culture Conference: Crisis, Emergency, Global Processes
Sponsored by the UCSD Sociology Department
It was only last fall that San Diego County experienced its own crisis, the county-wide fires. The wildfires were truly emphasized for their out-of-control "wildness," while the real reasons of urban sprawl were downplayed or flat-out ignored. This crisis, like many others crisis around the world, such as famines, was framed as a case of "natural
disaster," instead of a case of mismanaged urban planning, ill-led concepts of fire "prevention." Therefore the causes fell on to nature, instead of socio-political reasons.
For many around the world who watched the news coverage of our local crisis, it appeared that only middle- to upper-class, Caucasian home-owners were affected by this disaster. Newscasters biasedly compared the state-of emergency disaster to New Orleans's Hurricane Katrina in a fashion that portrayed San Diegans as wealthy, coordinated, charitable and peaceful in contrast to New Orleaneans who were portrayed as poor, disorganized, and violent. Essentially, San Diego "citizens" were framed as united, while New Orleans "refugees" were portrayed as lacking in unity. Just like Hurricane Katrina, the media coverage and the treatment of the San Diego fires were embedded in long-standing issues of class, race and ethnicity.
This roundtable aims to bring out many the socio-political reasons that contributed to the fire and the politics of who's stories were represented in the media and which ones remained untold. For example, many of the fires’ human victims were migrant workers living in canyons who, largely because of their extreme marginalization, were not able to be reached and informed about the fires. In stark contrast to the mainstream coverage of property owners (like the TV reporter standing outside his own house for hours of coverage). The human toll of the fires was largely ignored, or even blamed on these victims for consuming UCSD Regional Burn Center resources for instance.
We hope you will join us for this special roundtable that will follow up on the global and theoretical themes of UCSD’s Sociology Dept’s 2008 Culture Conference.
