ITU Strategic and Financial Plans, 2008−2011, Geneva, 14 and 15 September 2006
Dear Sir / Madam,
By Decision 527, the Council established at its 2005 session a Working Group on the elaboration
of the draft 2008-2011 ITU Strategic and Financial Plans. Considering the Report by the Chairman
of the Finance Committee of the 2006 session of the Council (Document C06/56) and the Report of
the Council Group (Group FINREGS) presented to the 2006 session of the Council (Document
C06/21), and recognizing the need to further elaborate the Draft Financial Plan for 2008-2011 as
contained in Document C06/23 + (Add.1) and to review Resolution 91 (Minneapolis, 1998) on the
cost recovery for some ITU products and services, Council decided at its 2006 session to continue
the activities of the Working Group in order to prepare a report on the Draft Financial Plan for
2008-2011 and on the revision of Resolution 91 (Minneapolis, 1998) to the final meeting of the
Council for submission to the Plenipotentiary Conference 2006.
The Working Group will hold its sixth meeting, which is open to ITU Member States only, on
