REQUEST FOR INPUT FROM SECTOR ADVISORY GROUPS
AND THE GENERAL SECRETARIAT FOR THE ELABORATION
OF THE DRAFT STRATEGIC PLAN 2008-2011
With a view to elaborating the 2008-2011 Strategic Plan of the ITU, the Council Working Group
requests each Sector Advisory Group and the General Secretariat to:
1. Review the sections in the 2004-2007 Strategic Plan pertinent to their activities (i.e. Parts II
and III of the Annex to Resolution 71) in order to determine their continued relevance;
2. Following this review, propose a limited number of objectives (approx. 5) and a short mission
statement, for input to the 2008-2011 Strategic Plan;
3. Illustrate the link between these objectives and the Union’s outputs as defined in the Results
Based Budgeting (RBB) Framework 1 (see Annex A), and as set out in the example below:
Output A
Objective 1
Output B
Output C
Objective 2
Output D
4. Identify 4 to 5 outputs that of are of particularly high priority (with the exception of intersectoral outputs).
In addition, the Working Group solicits comments on the relevance of the strategic orientations and
goals of the 2004-2007 Strategic Plan (Part I of the Annex to Resolution 71).
The Working Group will next meet in Geneva from 30-31 January 2006, and requests that the above
input be made available by 16 January 2006 to be posted on the strategic plan website 2 for discussion
at the January meeting.
