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
