1. Poloff delivered reftel talking points by email and fax to
Ambassador for Human Rights Anabella de Castro on September
15. Talking points were also sent on September 16 to Indotel
President and Secretary of State for Telecommunications
Orlando Jorge Mera. Mr. Mera assured Poloff that he would
send talking points to Indotel representatives in Geneva.
According to Ambassador de Castro, Indotel traditionally
takes the government's lead on freedom of the press issues,
not the Foreign Ministry. At first glance, neither
Ambassador de Castro nor Mr. Mera expressed any potential
problems.
