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?
