1999 session
10 The 1999 session of the Council was held at ITU headquarters from 14 to 25 June 1999. It
was attended by representatives of the 46 Member States of the Council and 22 Member States of
the Union participating as observer Member States.
11 Measures had been taken to ensure that this session was both rational and productive. At its
inaugural Plenary Meeting, the Council approved its agenda which contained only those items
which the Council was required to consider under the provisions of the Constitution and the
Convention, resolutions of PP-98 and other conferences, and previous decisions of the Council.
Fewer documents had therefore been prepared by the secretariat. Efforts had also been made to
improve the quality of documentation. The Council was invited to approve the application of
measures to reduce the volume and cost of documentation for all ITU meetings and conferences.
The General Secretariat had also endeavoured to ensure that the Council's time was managed more
efficiently. Informal information meetings were organized outside Council meeting times. The
following committees were set up:

PART 4 - IMPLEMENTATION OF THE STRATEGIC PLAN 1999-2003
The changing international telecommunication environment
18 The period between PP-98 and PP-02 has been something of a roller-coaster ride for the
telecommunication sector.
19
At one level, network growth has continued apace.
•
By the time of PP-02, there will be around 1.09 billion fixed telephone lines in operation
worldwide, compared with just 835 million at the time of PP-98, a growth rate of almost
7 per cent per year.
•
In 2002, mobile phone users will have overtaken the number of fixed lines, reaching
1.2 billion by the time of PP-02, compared with fewer than 300 million at the time of PP-98, a
growth rate of more than 40 per cent per year.
•
The Internet will have grown almost as fast as the mobile network, reaching more than half a
billion users in 2002 compared with fewer than 150 million in 1998.
20
However, at another level, the industry is experiencing many difficulties:
•
During the calendar year 2001 alone, some 470 000 job losses were announced, with
redundancies particularly severe in the equipment manufacturing sector.
•
Share prices of leading telecommunication operators plummeted after March 2000, which
marked the peak of the dot.com boom. A number of ambitious projects were cancelled and
many new entrants announced bankruptcy.
•
In purchasing licences and building networks to provide third-generation (3G) mobile
services, operators have accumulated debts running into hundreds of billions of US dollars
before the first services were even launched. Scepticism in the financial markets about the
viability of such services has made it difficult to raise new funds.
21 It is hard to draw a pattern from these seemingly contradictory trends of network growth, on
the one hand, and declining investor confidence, on the other. If there is a link, it lies in the fact that
sector performance was so good that it gave rise to irrational expectations about the future of the
sector. For most of the period since the Second World War, the information and communication
technology (ICT) sector had experienced comfortable network growth rates of between 5 and
7 per cent per year. Things changed, however, around the mid-1990s, when growth rates started to
go up and up, peaking at a heady 28 per cent in 2000. Underlying these statistics was a period of
high and sustained investment. In 2000, more than USD 200 billion was invested, just by traditional
telecommunication operators. This is almost twice the level of a decade earlier.
22 At the same time that this intensive investment was taking place, more and more countries
had been opening up their telecommunication sectors to competition and private sector
participation. The year 1998, in which the Minneapolis PP-98 was held, was when the World Trade
Organization's basic telecommunications agreement, or more formally Protocol 4 to the General
Agreement on Trade in Services (GATS), came into force. The countries that made commitments to
liberalize their markets under that agreement represent more than 90 per cent of the
telecommunication market worldwide, measured by revenue.
23 At the beginning of 2002, a majority of ITU Member States now have incumbent operators
that are partially or wholly privatized. Since the beginning of 1998, there have been more than
40 privatization transactions of incumbent public telecommunication operators, raising more than
USD 80 billion. Another major trend is towards the establishment of independent regulatory
agencies. At the beginning of 1998, some 74 ITU Member States had established independent
regulatory agencies. Their number had grown to 112 by the start of 2002.

Strategic plan goals, 1999-2003
24 How has this change in the telecommunication environment affected ITU's operations, and
specifically its ability to meet the goals established by its membership in the 1999-2003 strategic
plan?
Goal 1 - Strengthen the multilateral foundations of telecommunications
25 Achieving the first goal has become more complex in that many new organizations have
entered the scene, both at the operational and regulatory levels. In terms of operators, the number of
facilities-based carriers that provide international telecommunication services is now over 2 000.
ITU has succeeded in attracting many of them as Sector Members, and the total number of Sector
Members has increased from 543 at the start of 1998 to 657 at the start of 2002. However, much
more remains to be done, particularly in attracting more mobile operators and Internet service
providers as members.
26 As ITU becomes more involved in helping its membership to develop information and
communication technologies, rather than just traditional telecommunications, it must increasingly
work in partnership with other international organizations. One good illustration of this is ITU's
contribution to the G8 Digital Opportunity Task Force and the UN ICT Task Force where ITU has
been working alongside other agencies, on behalf of its membership. Many of the UN agencies now
have some sort of programme geared towards ICTs for development, and if ITU is to retain a
pre-eminent role, it needs to establish closer partnerships. In this respect, the collaboration
agreement signed with the World Trade Organization is a positive step.
Goal 2 - In addition to development of access to basic telecommunication and information
services, promote global connectivity to the global information infrastructure (GII) and global
participation in the global information society (GIS)
27 The 2002 edition of ITU's World Telecommunication Development Report: Reinventing
Telecoms, shows how significant progress has been made in recent years to reduce the gap in access
to basic telecommunication services between the developed and developing world. But at the same
time a new gap is emerging in access to advanced ICT, such as high-speed Internet access, or 3G
mobile services. ITU has played an active role in international efforts to bridge the digital divide. In
particular, it is acting as lead agency in the UN ICT Task Force working group on improving access
and connectivity.
28 In the context of the global information society, the major new initiative ITU has taken is the
preparations for the World Summit on the Information Society, to be held in 2003 in Geneva and
2005 in Tunis. ITU is playing the leading managerial role in this UN event.
Goal 3 - Coordinate international action to manage scarce telecommunication resources
29 This goal relates to the traditional role of ITU in the stewardship of the international
radio-frequency spectrum, including satellite orbital slots, and of global numbering resources. This
role is exercised notably through the World Radiocommunication Conference (WRC), which is
responsible for coordinating international action in this domain.
30 In the former area, a new group, the Satellite Backlog Action Group, has been created to
tackle the underlying problem of the backlog with regard to the processing of satellite network
filings.
Y:\APP\PDF_SERVER\EDMG\IN\PP02\036V2E.DOC (146399)
13.08.02
15.08.02
- 16 PP-02/36-E
31 In the latter area, the Council has made a number of important decisions relating to cost
recovery for international numbering resources, such as for universal international freephone,
premium-rate and shared-cost numbers. Also, within ITU-T Study Group 2, a Numbering
Coordination Team has been established to provide policy advice to the Director of TSB. ITU also
continues to work on emerging technologies such as ENUM and on multilingual Internet.
Goal 4 - Encourage and enable Member States, especially developing countries, to draw
maximum benefit from technical, financial and regulatory changes in the telecommunication
environment
32 Again this goal relates to the traditional role of ITU as a forum within which the membership
works together in mutually supportive ways. In the period since PP-98, two of the major
innovations have been the hosting of an annual "Global Symposium for Regulators" meeting, and
the creation of the New Initiatives Programme of workshops and case studies with a focus on
telecommunications and Internet policy. The increase in the number of regulatory agencies in
Member States has meant that the provision of assistance for regulatory authorities, for instance in
training, ad hoc support and regional workshops, has become a much more important part of ITU's
work.
33 ITU also continues to provide its membership with high-quality data and analysis on trends in
the telecommunications environment, notably through publications such as the World
Telecommunication Development Report, Global Trends in Telecom Reform and ITU Internet
Reports.
Goal 5 - Improve the efficiency and effectiveness of Union structures, activities and processes
34 Although the efforts to reform ITU have focused on the Working Group on ITU Reform,
which reported to Council-01, measures to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of ITU's work
have been an integral part of ongoing management objectives. Following PP-98's decisions on the
limits on expenditure for 2000-2003 and the gradual lifting of the interim limitations on the use of
the working languages, ITU has had to absorb considerable additional programme activities within
existing resources. Some CHF 32 million in savings have been achieved, notably in areas such as
production of documents, publications and staff redeployment.
35 Other improvements to ITU's work are more visible. For instance, virtually all of ITU's
working documents and publications are now available in electronic format and the ever-increasing
volume of e-mail received and sent is an indication of the growth of electronic methods. In this
context, the decision taken by Council-2000 to provide "free" access to Recommendations online
has opened up the work of ITU to a much wider audience, especially among students.
36 In the area of radio-frequency spectrum, the system for cost recovery for the processing of
satellite network filings, established at PP-98, has now been implemented. Some initial problems,
relating to the way in which modifications to existing notices are to be handled, were resolved by
Council-01. Council-02 established an ad hoc group to move towards an improved methodology for
assessing charges.
37 The following sections review progress in the implementation of the Strategic Plan in the
Sectors and the General Secretariat.

Sectoral strategies and priorities
Radiocommunication Sector strategies and priorities
38 The major strategic objectives for the Radiocommunication Sector (ITU-R) for the 1999-2003
time-frame were mostly achieved through continual improvements in working methods and costeffective use of the limited resources devoted to the Sector. The respective roles of the decisional
and advisory bodies were better defined, thus contributing to a better linkage between advisory,
financial and operational responsibilities and planning. Through investments in computerization,
streamlining of processes and workflows, and enhancement of working methods, it has been
possible to increase significantly the quality of the services delivered.
39 Initiative and innovation have also been the key to successful enhancement and improvement
in the publications and documents management area, leading to better quality and increased use of
electronic media.
40 The Radiocommunication Bureau assisted administrations and regional telecommunication
organizations in preparing efficiently and effectively for WRC-2000. The Bureau efficiently
managed the proceedings and outputs of WRC-2000. The conference was organized successfully
and achieved its objectives. The next WRC will be held in 2003, thus respecting the required twoto three-year interval between WRCs and enabling effective implementation of WRC-2000
decisions and resolutions by the Bureau.
41 WRC-2000 adopted methods for improved sharing of the frequency spectrum, including
between GSO and non-GSO satellite systems. It also substantially revised broadcasting-satellite
service plans for Regions 1 and 3. Such revisions contribute significantly to making new services
available to communities and enhancing the quality of the services provided.
42 The Radio Regulations Board finished reviewing the rules of procedure to take account of
decisions taken at WRC-2000. It is also considered all submissions it received from administrations.
43 The study groups and associated working parties undertook the studies required by previous
WRCs in preparation for future conferences, culminating in a successful conference preparatory
meeting (CPM-02). They also undertook studies of approved Questions in order to issue
Recommendations on the characteristics and performance of radio systems. Chairmen and
Vice-Chairmen's meetings established a programme of ongoing studies and reviewed it according to
changes in priorities as decided by the Radiocommunication Assembly and WRC.
44 Close collaboration with ITU-T and ITU-D was undertaken, in order to assist developing
countries in spectrum management and provide information through seminars, meetings, handbooks
and relevant tools for automated spectrum management.
45 The Radiocommunication Assembly in 2000 successfully contributed to the establishment of
the Study Group work programme as well as to the refinement of the priorities and the improvement
of the working methods of the Study Groups through the approval of relevant new or revised
Resolutions. It also elected the Chairmen and Vice-Chairmen of the various Study Groups and
Committees. Moreover, substantial progress was achieved with the approval of the IMT-2000 radio
interface at the RA-2000 in Istanbul.
46 Missions, workshops and regional seminars, including fellowships for participation by
developing countries, were organized so as to achieve the widest dissemination of information
concerning spectrum management concepts and the related regulatory framework. Such actions
assisted developing countries in the application of relevant ITU-R Recommendations and the
implementation of radiocommunication systems.

47 The priorities and strategic objectives set for the period 1999-2003 were translated into annual
operational plans for 1999, 2000 and 2001. A significant step towards linking financial and
operational planning was made in 2001 with the development of a two-year operational plan for
2002-2003 linked with the budget set for the same period.
48 The already flexible organizational structure of the Bureau has been under constant review so
as to be responsive to changes in priorities in the various activities of the Sector. Investments in
computerization and improvements in the working methods and mechanisms have made it possible
to improve significantly the quality of the Bureau's services and to increase the dissemination of
information through electronic media and to contribute to wider participation of the membership in
the activities of the Radiocommunication Sector.
Telecommunication Standardization Sector strategies and priorities
49 Under the ITU Constitution and Convention, the mission of the ITU Telecommunication
Standardization Sector (ITU-T) is to fulfil the purposes of the Union relating to telecommunication
standardization by studying technical, operational and tariff questions and adopting
Recommendations on them with a view to standardizing telecommunications on a worldwide basis.
50 ITU-T's overall strategy is to ensure that ITU remains the pre-eminent global
telecommunication standardization body. In order to achieve this overall strategy, in line with
Resolution 71 (Minneapolis, 1998) and resolutions of the World Telecommunication
Standardization Assembly (WTSA), several goals and priorities have been established.
51
These include, among others:
•
Continue to improve working methods and produce high-quality Recommendations quickly in
response to market demands.
•
Produce Recommendations responding to technological developments covering, inter alia,
Internet protocol (IP) related aspects, multimedia applications, future evolution of the network
infrastructure and interworking.
•
Enhance participation by Sector Members.
•
Encourage the participation of developing countries in telecommunication standardization
activities.
•
Establish partnerships by conducting a range of formal and informal cooperation agreements
with other organizations.
52 To respond to the goals and priorities set for the period 1999 to 2003, ITU-T has acted as
follows:
•
In order to improve working methods, WTSA-2000 and TSAG adopted various resolutions
and recommendations. The use of electronic document handling for the work of ITU-T has
been strengthened, focus groups have been created to help advance the work of ITU-T study
groups and the alternative approval process (AAP) has been adopted and implemented
successfully. As of 1999, all approved ITU-T Recommendations are pre-published quickly
after the approval date.
•
From 1999 to end 2001, ITU-T approved 834 Recommendations in response to market
demands and technological developments. Major achievements obtained by the study groups
and TSAG are described in the annual reports of ITU-T.

15.08.02
- 19 PP-02/36-E
•
To enhance participation by Sector Members, ITU-T has actively promoted its activities by
organizing seminars/workshops, holding study group meetings in the regions, developing
promotion materiel and publishing press releases. The ITU-T website has been reinforced,
and now comprises 1 311 html pages plus 1 026 other files. As a result, from January 1999 to
December 2001, there was an increase of more than one hundred Sector Members.
•
WTSA-2000 Resolutions 17 and 26 have been fully implemented. Several joint ITU-D and
ITU-T initiatives were carried out aimed at facilitating the participation of developing
countries, including the holding of WTSA preparatory meetings in the regions and seminars
and workshops jointly organized worldwide, in conjunction with study group activities.
Specific appropriations have been allocated from the TSB budget for the regional presence
and this was incorporated in the ITU-T operational plan. The promotion policy to increase the
visibility of the Sector and its activities was implemented through the participation of TSB
staff in TELECOM Africa 2001 and by drawing up a number of information documents for
new members and participants.
•
In order to establish partnerships, several formal and informal cooperation agreements have
been concluded. Three MoUs have been signed between ITU and SDOs; Recommendations
A.4, A.5, A.6 have been developed; forums/consortia have established a formal
communication process with ITU-T; 17 organizations are qualified for including references in
ITU-T Recommendations; and 12 SDOs established a process for Cooperation and Exchange
of Information with ITU-T Recommendation A.6. In this vein, the Director organized the
Martigny meetings and an Informal Forum Summit. TSAG improved IETF and ITU-T
collaboration guidelines, and TSB assumed the ICANN PSO-PC secretariat.
53 Other information relating to ITU-T challenges can be found in the overview of ITU-T and in
the presentation documents prepared by the Director of TSB for various occasions. ITU-T goals and
priorities for 2002-2003 can be found in the ITU-T consolidated operational plan.
Telecommunication Development Sector strategies and priorities
54 Following the strategy and priorities identified in the Strategic Plan for the Union 1999-2003
in Resolution 71 (Minneapolis, 1998) of the Plenipotentiary Conference, the functioning and
working methods of ITU-D were improved, making it more flexible. This is particularly true for the
ITU regional presence, which was considerably strengthened. A new BDT organizational structure
was implemented. The importance of operational planning has been duly recognized.
55 Resource mobilization has become more important than ever, resulting in many partnerships
with Sector Members and international organizations now under implementation.
56 BDT paid special attention to the requirements of the developing countries, with particular
emphasis on the least developed ones (LDCs). The ITU Strategic Plan stresses in this context that
ITU-D follows the decisions of the World Telecommunication Development Conference
(Valletta, 1998) (WTDC-98), set out in the Valletta Action Plan (VAP)
(http://www.itu.int/ITU-D/bdtint/Brochure00/VAP.html). The VAP comprises four chapters.
VAP Chapter 1: Programme of cooperation among the ITU-D members
57 For the preparation of the World Telecommunication Development Conference
(Istanbul, 2002) (WTDC-02), five regional preparatory meetings and one global preparatory
meeting (http://www.itu.int/ITU-D/conferences/rtdc/index.html) were organized. The
Telecommunication Development Advisory Group (TDAG) (http://www.itu.int/ITU-D/tdag/) met
twice a year, discussing the most important issues of BDT's work and giving advice to the Bureau
Director of BDT. Two ITU-D study groups (http://www.itu.int/ITU-D/study_groups/) worked on
the Questions approved by WTDC-98. The Task Force for Gender Issues

13.08.02
15.08.02
- 20 PP-02/36-E
(http://www.itu.int/ITU-D/gender/) held four meetings and promoted awareness of issues of gender
equality and their link with sustainable development. Twelve reports were published, including
World Telecommunication Development Reports and Yearbooks of Statistics, regional
publications, and several Internet country case studies
(http://www.itu.int/ITU-D/information_sharing.html).
VAP Chapter 2: Programmes
Programme 1: Reform, regulation and legislation of telecommunications
58 Several reports on the state of regulation of the information and communications technology
(ICT) industry and case studies have been published. Direct assistance was provided, inter alia, to
Ecuador, Haiti, Jordan, Lebanon, Malawi, Malaysia, Mauritius, Mozambique, Oman, Sudan and
Venezuela, as well as to the Telecommunications Regulators Association of Southern Africa. An
online global forum and a "Hotline" for regulators and policy-makers, the Global Regulators'
Exchange, were launched in Spring 2001. The biggest achievement was probably the organization
of two Global Development Symposia for Regulators (http://www.itu.int/ITU-D/treg/).
Programme 2: Technologies and global information infrastructure (GII)
development and applications
59 Technical assistance was provided by means of short missions, by correspondence, and
through seminars, symposia and workshops in areas such as digital broadcasting, service
development, radiocommunications, traffic administration, project implementation, teletraffic,
developing project documents, network management, spectrum management, mobile, maritime
emergency and satellite communication, switching, telecommunications for the environment,
management information systems, outside plant, and telemedicine and distance-learning
technologies. Manuals were produced for GMPCS, network planning using PLANITU,
WinBASMS in Russian, management information systems, and maritime communications. Various
databases, a computer-aided outside plant system and a website were also developed
(http://www.itu.int/ITU-D/tech/).
60 In the framework of E-strategy (http://www.itu.int/ITU-D/e-strategy/) activities, many
projects to build e-transaction infrastructures and IP-based e-services (such as e-commerce,
e-government and e-marketplace) were initiated. Today, some 220 organizations all over the world
are participating in infrastructure deployment activities undertaken by BDT. At the national level,
operational projects providing e-payments and secure e-transactions were launched in Brazil,
Morocco, South Africa and Venezuela. Major efforts were undertaken to establish partnerships,
with emphasis on technology deployment. This has led to two new agreements, with WISekey and
World Trade Centre and with Goodwin Procter LLP.
Programme 3: Rural development and universal service/access
61 Many pilot projects for the establishment of multipurpose community telecentres (MCTs)
were implemented, including MCTs in Benin, Bhutan, Bolivia, Burkina Faso, Cape Verde,
Honduras, India, Malawi, Mali, Nepal, Suriname, Tanzania, Uganda and Viet Nam. ITU/BDT
partners included local authorities and communities, FAO, UNDP, UNESCO, WHO, the British
Council, CIDA, IDRC, SIDA, Ericsson, Sagem, Siemens, local companies, etc. A universal access
programme (UAP) using satellite and WLL technologies was implemented in cooperation with
INTELSAT and EUTELSAT. Regional GMPCS workshops and the publication of a "GMPCS
Reference Book" assisted developing countries in the introduction of GMPCS services. Focus
Group 7 prepared a report outlining technical solutions specifically suited to the technological,
infrastructure, social and economic context of the developing world
(http://www.itu.int/ITU-D/univ_access/).

Programme 4: Finance and economics, including WTO issues, tariffs,
accounting rates, etc.
62 Many workshops and seminars were held on WTO issues, costing, cost-management, tariffs,
pricing and settlement reform, pricing for frequency usage, etc. Cost and tariff calculation tools
were developed on the basis of ITU regional models. Research was undertaken, a database
implemented and several studies, reports and books published (http://www.itu.int/ITU-D/finance/).
Programme 5: Developing partnership with the private sector
63 BDT benefited from the advice of the private sector, especially after a specific TDAG
subgroup was established. A developing countries operators' database was created and a number of
publications were issued (http://www.itu.int/ITU-D/partners/).
Programme 6: Capacity-building through human resources development
and management
64 Transfer of know-how and sharing of experiences was organized through training, global
conferences, hundreds of regional meetings and workshops, and through electronic forums,
discussions and roundtables, direct assistance, distance learning, four databases, the publication of
the Human Resource Development Quarterly, dissemination of guidelines, case studies and
information about best practices, as well as the creation of five centres of excellence
(http://www.itu.int/ITU-D/hrd/). Partnerships were established with training institutes resulting,
inter alia, in continued developments with the Global Telecommunication University/Global
Telecommunication Training Institute and the recent creation of the Internet Training Centres
initiative.
VAP Chapter 3: Special programme for least developed countries
65 The LDC Programme (http://www.itu.int/ITU-D/ldc/) started after funds became available in
1999. BDT concentrates its efforts every year on a limited number of LDCs, soliciting at the same
time the support of other development partners as well. Countries that have benefited from the
programme are Bhutan, Cambodia, Central African Republic, Chad, Comoros, Djibouti, Eritrea,
Ethiopia, Guinea-Bissau, Haiti, Kiribati, Malawi, Mali, Mozambique, Nepal, Niger, Sudan,
Tanzania, Uganda, Yemen and Zambia.
VAP Chapter 4: Technical cooperation projects and other direct assistance
66 As executing agency, ITU/BDT has implemented numerous projects
(http://www.itu.int/ITU-D/projects/), mostly funded by funds-in-trust. The main focus was on sector
reform (as a key to attracting investment), infrastructure development, frequency management, the
challenges presented by the new competitive environment and by the universal service obligation,
radio and TV broadcasting, and training. Many projects were executed jointly with regional
organizations.
67 In accordance with urgent needs expressed by countries, 10 to 15 per cent of the regular BDT
budget is devoted annually to direct (ad hoc) assistance, especially in the areas of training,
seminars/workshops, assistance in project implementation and technical assistance
(http://www.itu.int/ITU-D/bdtint/projects.html).

General Secretariat strategies and priorities
68 The General Secretariat works in close cooperation with the Bureaux to ensure that
high-quality services are provided to the membership of the Union, and is responsible for major
meetings and conferences. Major priorities for the General Secretariat during the period continued
to focus on improving the quality and efficiency of services provided to the membership and other
customers, improving the management and development of human resources, improving overall
management processes and adapting the work culture to the new telecommunication environment.
Coordination, External Relations and Communications Units (CEC)
69 The structure of the original SEC (Strategic Planning, External Relations and Corporate
Communications) Units has undergone continuous change and evolution since 1999. In 2001, the
reorganization into two groups, CEC (Coordination, External Relations and Communications Units)
and SPU (Strategy and Policy Unit) aimed to improve services to membership by separating
administrative (CEC) and policy (SPU) functions, to establish clearer lines of management and
responsibility and to produce new synergies. A major objective since 1999 is to improve customer
service through innovation and high-quality response, identifying specific membership needs and
providing relevant products and services in a quick and effective manner. The office of the Chief
has provided overall administrative services for Council each year, serving the Coordination and
Policy and Strategy Committees and playing an important role in the organization and preparations
for the First Preparatory Committee of the World Summit on the Information Society.
Coordination Unit (CU)
70 Since 1999, the Coordination Unit has focused on playing its key role in planning, organizing
and coordinating SG conferences and meetings, in particular, the Marrakesh Plenipotentiary
Conference (PP-02), Council Sessions and its Working Groups set up since the Minneapolis
Plenipotentiary Conference. Group work areas were: ITU Reform, ITU Financial regulations,
International Telecommunication Regulations, ITU Strategic plan, General provisions regarding
conferences and assemblies, Satellite Backlog Action Group (SATBAG), Stable procedures for
elections, Cost recovery for satellite network filings, Human resources management and
preparations for the World Summit on the Information Society. The work and outcome of these
Groups can be found at http://www.itu.int/council/indexgroups.html. The Coordination Unit also
provided assistance to WRC-2000, WTPF-01, WTDC regional preparatory meetings, and the First
meeting of the WSIS Preparatory Committee.
External Affairs Unit (EAU)
71 The activities of the External Affairs Unit are focused on ITU Membership comprising
Member States and their positions in relation to the Acts of the Union, Sector Members as well as
the new category of Associate Members. With respect to the situation of the position of Member
States in relation to the Acts of the Union, the following Acts have been ratified or acceded to:
•
Constitution and Convention of Geneva, 1992: 172 Member States
•
•
Amendments to the CS/CV (Kyoto, 1994): 128 Member States
Amendments to the CS/CV (Minneapolis, 1998): 42 Member States
72 The External Affairs has regularly published the Notification and the ITU Global Directory
whereby the CD-ROM and online versions were promoted. On the latter, particular attention was
given to the development and maintenance of the Membership Management System (MMS), which
is a database containing all membership related information. The Unit is also engaged in the
participation in and follow up on activities of UN System mechanisms such as the UN General
Assembly, ECOSOC, ACC, HLCP, etc., as well as relations with Geneva Diplomatic Missions and
the promotion of ITU through visits to ITU Headquarters. The organization and follow up related to

official visits to the Secretary-General of the ITU is also handled by this Unit. Since, early 2001,
Communications services, in charge of the ITU central mail registry, were transferred to the
External Affairs Unit.
Corporate Communication Unit (CCU)
73 Since it took over the responsibility for the corporate pages of the ITU website, CCU has
developed a look and feel to achieve a more coherent and consistent online brand image and has
started an ambitious redesign exercise to provide a logical structure to the site, better readability and
navigability to cater for the different needs of the different target audiences. CCU organized and
managed the press service and met the communication requirements of most of ITU key events for
which it developed extensive press materials to explain the issues and the stakes; it also developed
and managed special online newsrooms for these events to provide real-time information on the
progress of the events.
74 To raise the profile of ITU and communicate more effectively with the public, CCU has
developed the first ever corporate promotion campaign expected to be launched in the third quarter
of 2002. This new initiative was made possible by the adoption of an innovative cross-fertilization
policy on co-branding, co-sponsoring and co-promotional activities. A wide range of
communication opportunities were also used to better illustrate ITU's role as a useful and relevant
organization catering for the needs of governments and the industry (ITU News magazine, news
releases, annual corporate reports, media briefings and press conferences, news items and feature
articles in magazines and special supplements in mainstream media, selling-in of stories to
newspapers, media interviews, participation at exhibitions, world telecommunication days, etc). It
also used flagship publications such as the World Telecommunication Development Report to
capture media attention and generate very wide and positive coverage in the press, showing the
Union as a key organization in the field of telecommunication development, analysis and prediction
of market trends. Finally, it developed new communication channels to deliver information to
editors' desks more timely resulting in greater media coverage of ITU affairs.
Strategy and Policy Unit (SPU)
75 The work of the Strategy and Policy Unit, since 1998, has focused on serving the
membership, notably through the development of the New Initiatives programme, which was
launched in 1999. This programme, which has benefited from voluntary contributions, notably from
MPHPT Japan and MIC Korea, has three main elements: workshops, case studies and Internet
policy analysis. To date, some nine different workshops have been held on a range of topics
including cybersecurity, multilingual domain names, licensing 3G and the regulatory implications
of broadband. More than 20 country case studies have been carried out. For more detail, see the
website at www.itu.int/spu.
76 A second major component of the work of the unit has been the research and publication
(jointly with BDT) of high-quality reports, providing the membership with analysis of market trends
and policy trends. These reports include the World Telecommunication Development Report, the
ITU Internet Reports, the Direction of Traffic Reports, and the New Initiatives series of CD-ROMs.
77 Thirdly, the unit has worked on a number of different PP Resolutions that are described in
more detail below including the World Telecommunication Policy Forum (Resolution 2), the
International Telecommunication Regulations (Resolution 79), the implementation of the strategic
plan 1999-2003 (Resolution 71) and the development of the draft strategic plan 2004-2007, linkages
between strategic, financial and operational planning (Resolution 72), cost recovery (Resolutions 88
and 91), ITU Reform (Resolution 74), the World Summit on the Information Society
(Resolution 73) and Internet-related issues (Resolutions 101 and 102).

Common Services
78 The Common Services Department (SC) provides a wide variety of centralized services to all
Sectors of ITU, including the upkeep of the physical infrastructure of buildings and related
installations. It also acts as the Union's publisher by providing the services for production,
marketing, sale and dissemination of all publications of the Union.
79 During the reporting period, the main achievements were to render the services provided more
cost-effective through modernization of installations and equipment, management reorganization
and redeployment of staff. The main challenges comprised a major shortfall in the funding needed
for the Building Maintenance Fund (see Council Document C01/6), and continuous pressures due to
reduced budgets and staffing for the units in the department. Highlights of the major projects and
activities in this period are given below.
80 The new Montbrillant building was inaugurated in 1999, and the renovations in the Varembé
Building were completed in 2001. The overall project cost was CHF 45.4 million, compared to the
authorized expenditure ceiling of CHF 49.0 million. Thanks to the savings thus made, the Swiss
authorities agreed to extend a separate interest-free loan of CHF 2 million as partial financing for
the construction of a new cafeteria next to the Montbrillant building.
81 The new cafeteria was inaugurated in 2001. Of the other construction projects completed
during the period in question, the most important was the construction of a new computer centre. As
for the project to regroup the offices of related functional units in the same area and to introduce
more shared offices, the project implementation proved to be more difficult than anticipated due the
initial strong reactions of the staff concerned.
82 Annual income from the sale of ITU publications had risen every year from 1995
(CHF 11.6 million) to 1999 (CHF 15.5 million). This achievement was attributable to the combined
effect of innovative web-based and CD-ROM products and services, focused marketing and
improved customer services. Since 1999, however, annual publications income has declined from
year to year (CHF 12.4 million in 2001). Reduced demand for paper-based publications, adverse
conditions in the telecommunication industry and the introduction of a free-publication policy (as of
2001) appear to be main contributory factors to this trend. There was a similar trend for conference
and meeting documents, and the continued shift from paper to electronic documents led to the
implementation of staffing and equipment reductions in the printing workshop. The related cost
savings more than offset the increased electronic complexity of documents and publications to
provide improved web services to delegates as well as to non-member publication customers.
83 As a first step in the transformation of the Library and Archives Service into an information
portal in telecommunications, new standards and procedures for archiving were coordinated and
implementation was commenced.
84 In order to improve cost control, decentralized ordering and centralized procurement of office
supplies was integrated with the SAP-based financial system in a joint project with the Finance and
IS Departments.
85 The introduction of photo-badges for staff and delegates was a key action among a variety of
measures implemented to improve security with minimum cost increases. As of 2001, ongoing
security measures include closer consultation and coordination both with the Swiss authorities and
with the United Nations.
Conference services
86 The Conferences Department (CONF), working in close collaboration with the other General
Secretariat departments and the Bureaux, plays a key role in facilitating communication and
information flow within the membership of ITU and in providing efficient and high-quality services
Y:\APP\PDF_SERVER\EDMG\IN\PP02\036V2E.DOC (146399)
13.08.02
15.08.02
- 25 PP-02/36-E
to the Union's membership and customers, within the prevailing environmental - and particularly
budgetary - constraints. In pursuing this fundamental strategic mission, CONF has placed particular
emphasis on efficient management of the resources available to it, for the benefit of both in-house
clients and the membership as a whole, in order to achieve cost effectiveness while maintaining and
improving upon the established level of service delivery.
87 In the area of support to conferences and meetings, developments in ICT have been exploited
in order to offer delegates and participants an improved environment for effective meetings and
ensure productive use of time and resources, some examples being laptop connectivity in and
around rooms, the availability of multilingual applications in the cybercafés, and not least an
entirely new web-based and fully networked meeting room management and display system.
Looking to the future, two rooms in the Montbrillant building have been equipped for remote
interpretation, on which tests are under way.
88 In the language services, significant gains in productivity and cost-effectiveness have been
reported, particularly in translation and typing. This has been achieved through constant pursuit of
efficiency measures, including more extensive use of ICT throughout the production chain and
more flexible staffing arrangements, with a skilled professional core supported by supernumerary
staff, increased levels of outsourcing and contracts with external publishing houses. Remote
working methods are being implemented to cut costs for host countries of ITU conferences and
meetings. All these measures are especially important in the context of Resolution 103
(Minneapolis, 1998), which has prompted a big increase in demand for language services in a
stringent budgetary climate. Close attention is being paid to developments in computer aids to
translation, both in terms of support services such as terminology and references, and opportunities
for automation provided by computer-assisted (CAT) and machine (MT) translation.
89 In the field of documentation, particular efforts have been made to effect a reduction in the
cost and volume of documentation for conferences and meetings pursuant to Resolution 104
(Minneapolis, 1998). Maximum use is made of technological innovation to encourage, facilitate and
implement the transition away from paper towards electronic submission, handling and distribution
of documents. A range of measures have been implemented to usher in a more flexible,
decentralized and efficient document exchange environment, including the implementation of
automated document handling systems (DPS, DMS, Documentum), the provision of templates,
guidelines and drafting aids for authors, and comprehensive individual webpages for each entity or
event. A specific Document Management and Administration Unit has been set up in CONF to
coordinate document flows in the six languages, including at remote sites.
90 In the wider context, CONF has pursued and promoted the strategic goal of quality service
provision at best cost through very active participation in inter-agency activities and cooperative
projects, so as to share knowledge and benefit from benchmarking and best practices in the
conference, language and documentation fields.
Financial management
91 The main strategic objectives and key issues for the Finance Department in the 1999-2002
time-frame were maintaining zero growth in the financial resources derived from assessed
contributions, continuing to improve the budgeting process, and optimizing resource utilization and
efficiency improvements.
92 The progressive reform of the Union's budgetary and financial structure reached a significant
turning point in the years 1999 to 2001, with the adoption of an activity-based budget structure and
the introduction of results-based budgeting components in the budgets of the Union. These
improvements were made in order to enhance accountability and transparency for the
implementation of all ITU activities. They provide a closer linkage between the financial,
Y:\APP\PDF_SERVER\EDMG\IN\PP02\036V2E.DOC (146399)
13.08.02
15.08.02
- 26 PP-02/36-E
operational and strategic planning processes. The budgetary process was also modified to allow for
greater involvement of the advisory groups in the preparation of the budget and the setting of
medium-term objectives, in accordance with the strategic plan.
93 The Reserve Account was used extensively to fund the budgets of the Union, due mainly to
the policy of zero nominal growth in the amount of the contributory unit, the effect of cost increases
owing to changes in conditions of service, and an increase in the US dollar exchange rate in
2000-2001. The high volatility of the US dollar demonstrated the necessity for ITU to safeguard the
Union's funds and protect the Union's budget against foreign exchange risks.
94 The integrated financial management system was further developed to include a
cost-accounting system that provides details and complete information of all cost components and
items for each activity and product, thus enabling tighter control and follow-up. Likewise, the
accounts payable system was implemented, in order to streamline financial processes and enhance
control and quality of financial management.
Human resources management
Recruitment
95 Progress reports on geographical distribution and the representation of women in ITU were
noted by Council-99, Council-2000, Council-01 and Council-02. The data for 2001 were available
in the activities report (Document C01/35) on the Council website.
Performance management
96 In 2000, the Personnel and Social Protection Department was reorganized by creating two
divisions, for administration and human resources development (HRD), respectively. By
establishing the HRD Division a more coordinated and focused approach to performance
management was introduced. The grouping of all matters pertaining to staff administration in one
division is also proving to be more efficient.
97 A new performance evaluation system with more emphasis on competencies, training and
development was launched in 2001. It has been fully implemented during the first quarter of 2002.
Training sessions on the new system, including the setting of objectives and conduct of evaluation
interviews, have been held during 2001 and continue in 2002. Non-cash merit awards in the form of
letters and certificates of recognition were first introduced on the occasion of World
Telecommunication Day on 17 May 2000 and continued in 2001 and 2002. The Career
Management Officer post requested by Resolutions 1 (Kyoto, 1994) and 48 (Kyoto, 1994) was
established and filled at the beginning of 2001 by redeploying another P.4 post in the Personnel and
Social Protection Department which had fallen vacant.
98 Although the target of 3 per cent of staff costs for training could not be achieved due to the
zero nominal growth budget environment, efforts have been made and are continuing to streamline
the ITU training programme and to make it more cost-effective. An overall training policy as an
integral part of career management is being developed and implemented.
Council-01 Resolutions 1181 and 1187 relating to ITU reform and gender issues
99 Council-01 instructed the Secretary-General in Resolution 1181 to submit a comprehensive
report on effective human resources management in the Union, with full participation of staff
representatives and in cooperation with the Bureaux Directors. By Resolution 1187, it requested the
Secretary-General to develop an action plan and procedures to address immediately and urgently
the lack of gender representation in ITU staff, especially in the Professional and higher categories,
and to propose appropriate modifications to the Staff Regulations in order to promote the gender
perspective in ITU. The Secretary-General decided to combine the work in response to both

resolutions and established an internal working group consisting of representatives of the Personnel
Department and the Staff Council. The preliminary report of the internal working group was
subsequently considered by the Coordination Committee and the Joint Advisory Committee for
comment and recommendations. The Secretary-General's final report included proposals to reduce
the delays in recruitment procedures and to amend the ITU Staff Regulations. The document
(Document C02/9) was posted on the Council website. The ad hoc Working Group of the Council,
established by Resolution 1181, considered the Secretary-General's report during the week before
C-02. The report of the Working Group (Document C02/47) was reviewed by the Standing
Committee on Staff Matters and it decided to create an ad hoc Group of the Committee to study the
matter further during C-02. The Chairman of this ad hoc Group reported to C-02 in
Document C02/DT/9. On the basis of this last report, the Council adopted Resolution 1195 on
Effective Human Resources Management in the Union.
Managed renewable term (MRT) appointments
100 Council-99 reviewed Document C99/24 on managed renewable term (MRT) appointments
and decided to suspend the granting of any new MRT appointments. Existing MRT appointments
deemed to be in conformity with the criteria set forth in Document C99/24 continued to be managed
in accordance with Rule 4.14.2c) of the ITU Staff Rules. Council-01 took note of a progress report
on the implementation of MRT appointments contained in Document C01/22. As part of the ITU
reform process, the Council adopted Resolution 1181 which requested the Secretary-General,
inter alia, to submit a comprehensive report on effective human resources management to
Council-02. This report included proposals to establish a more general contract policy and to phase
out the use of MRT appointments. Following the Secretary-General's report, the report of the ad hoc
Working Group of the Council and the report of the Chairman of the ad hoc Group of the Standing
Committee on Staff Matters, C-02 decided in Resolution 1195 to abolish MRT appointments.
Compensation matters - Resolution 47 (Rev.Minneapolis, 1998)
101 Council-99, Council-2000, Council-01 and Council-02 adopted Resolutions 1145, 1166, 1175
and 1192 concerning changes in conditions of service under the United Nations common system.
These changes related to adjustments to the base salary scale, dependency allowances, mobility
allowances and hardship allowances for the Professional and higher categories, as well as the
education grant ceilings for reimbursement of education expenses for dependent children of
internationally recruited expatriate staff. These were standard changes based on existing
methodologies recommended by the International Civil Service Commission (ICSC) and adopted
by the UN General Assembly in December 1998, 1999 and 2000. The same changes were adopted
by the Council for the elected officials of the Union.
Long-term care insurance - Resolution 96 (Minneapolis, 1998)
102 In response to Resolution 96 (Minneapolis, 1998), the Council considered the issue of
long-term care insurance in the Union at its 1999 and 2000 sessions. At its June 1999 session, the
Council did not authorize the Secretary-General to implement such an insurance scheme. Later in
1999 the insurance company which had made an offer to all the UN common system organizations
withdrew its offer and other insurance companies did not express interest. In the meantime, WTO,
CERN and the UN have introduced limited coverage for such care in their medical insurance
schemes for serving and retired staff members. The ILO/ITU Staff Health Insurance Fund (SHIF) is
currently studying the feasibility of enhancing such coverage in its schedule of benefits.

Information services
103 ITU's key activities are essentially information and knowledge-based. Therefore, the activities
of the IS Department are focused on strategic ICT objectives relating to the management and
dissemination of information. These ICT strategic priorities can be summarized as:
•
Efficient work of the secretariat (including field offices) and good management of ITU
resources.
•
Expedite the work of ITU participatory activities: study groups, forums and conferences.
•
Maximize the value of ITU information for the membership and the global
telecommunication community, thereby promoting ITU and strengthening its public presence.
104 During the period 1999-2002, information exchange services for ITU activities
(see http://www.itu.int/TIES/) were enhanced in consultation with the Bureaux and TSAG,
improving the tools which contribute to the accelerated pace of standardization work and
conference preparation. The Document Management System (DMS) improves the efficiency and
reliability of the whole ITU publication process.
105 Use of the online editions of ITU publications and the Electronic Bookshop has grown
throughout the period: in 2001, online electronic publications (subscriptions and Bookshop sales)
amounted to CHF 3 704 971, accounting for 30 per cent of total ITU publication sales. From 2000
to 2001 the total volume of Electronic Bookshop downloads doubled to nearly 60 000 under the
new policy of allowing up to three free downloads per e-mail address. There have been more than
36 000 registrations for free document downloads.
106 The information technology infrastructure has been continuously enhanced, including more
powerful workstations and servers, and a desktop PC configuration that supports multilingual
document production for the six official ITU languages. The transition to decentralized computing
was completed with the phase-out of the mainframe in late 1999.
107 The Geneva Diplomatic Community Network (GDCnet - see Documents C98/70, C98/123,
C99/54, and C2000/32 and the website http://www.gdcnet.ch) connected 90 permanent missions by
the end of 2001. ITU will turn over responsibility for GDCnet to another entity at the end of 2002.
ITU TELECOM
108 For ITU TELECOM, the years from 1998 to 2001 were marked primarily by the successful
organization of AFRICA TELECOM 98 (http://www.itu.int/telecom/aft98/index.html),
TELECOM 99 + INTERACTIVE 99 (http://www.itu.int/telecom-wt99/homepage.html), ITU
TELECOM AMERICAS 2000 (http://www.itu.int/AMERICAS2000/index.html), ITU TELECOM
ASIA 2000 (http://www.itu.int/ASIA2000/index.html) and ITU TELECOM AFRICA 2001
(http://www.itu.int/AFRICA2001/homepage.html). There were also a number of important
meetings of the ITU TELECOM Board. One event, ITU TELECOM MIDDLE EAST & ARAB
STATES (http://www.itu.int/MIDEAST2001/index.html), was announced but later postponed in
consultation with the host government. Full details on each of these events can be found on the ITU
website at the URL indicated.
ITU TELECOM Board
109 An ITU TELECOM Board meeting held on 30 September 1999 decided that henceforth ITU
officials would no longer serve on the Board. The Union would act as resource provider for the
Board meetings, but would no longer intervene in the Board's decision-making process.
110 A new, expanded, ITU TELECOM Board
(http://www.itu.int/ITUTELECOM/whats_telecom/itutelecom_board.html) was created in 2000 in
preparation for future ITU TELECOM events, comprising members from the public and private
Y:\APP\PDF_SERVER\EDMG\IN\PP02\036V2E.DOC (146399)
13.08.02
15.08.02

sectors to represent the interests of both the Exhibition and the Forum. The new Board consists of
an Exhibition Committee and a Forum Committee, and reflects a balanced representation of the
private and public sectors, of the five regions, and of developing and industrialized countries. The
Board held its first meeting in Hong Kong, China, on 6 December 2000, and met again on
14 November, during AFRICA 2001.
111 At AFRICA 2001, the Board discussed the repercussions of the global telecommunication
market slowdown and its consequences, the need for the event to adapt to the new environment by
new initiatives such as the Youth Forum and the TELECOM Village, the changed needs of
telecommunication operators operating in a competitive market, as well as the increased role of the
Forum for discussion and exchanges. New models were proposed for the organization of the Forum,
and the future cycle of ITU TELECOM events was also discussed.
Financial situation
112 In accordance with Article 19 of the ITU Financial Regulations, any surplus income or excess
expenditure resulting from the world or regional TELECOM events is transferred to the Exhibition
Working Capital Fund. The position of the Exhibition Working Capital Fund at the end of 2001 can
be found in the Financial Operating Report.
Policy issues
113 The programme of future events may be consulted at the ITU TELECOM website at
www.itu.int/itutelecom. Several new initiatives have been undertaken to further improve the events:
•
The Youth Forum (http://www.itu.int/ASIA2002/forum/youth/index.html) will be continued
at future events. The selection of the participants will take place in collaboration with the
Member States' administrations and the universities of the countries concerned.
•
At ITU TELECOM World 2003 (Geneva, 12-18 October 2003), a Telecom Village
(http://www.itu.int/WORLD2003/exhibition/telecomvillage/index.html) will be created in the
new Hall 6 of Palexpo, where companies will be able to rent space in a flexible way as virtual
corporate headquarters, office suites, meeting rooms or presentation theatres to respond better
to their needs in meeting clients, presenting new products, etc.
•
Beyond 2003, a new cycle of events is envisaged on a three-year basis. This will satisfy the
industry, which feels that four years is too long a period between two events in view of the
rapid developments in the sector, and the majority of visitors, who wish the event to take
place more often. It will facilitate balanced planning of the regional events, which could also
each take place in a three-year cycle. Finally, it will facilitate a rebalancing between the world
event and the regional events.

PART 5 - REPORTS ON THE IMPLEMENTATION OF ITU DECISIONS,
RESOLUTIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Resolution 2 (Rev.Minneapolis, 1998) - World Telecommunication Policy Forum
114 In the period between PP-98 and PP-02, one World Telecommunication Policy Forum
(WTPF) was held, on 7-9 March 2001 in Geneva, on the topic of IP Telephony. The results were
reported to the Council in 2001 in Document C01/14. For more information, see the website at:
http://www.itu.int/osg/spu/wtpf/.
115 By Decision 498, Council-2000 had decided to convene WTPF-01, the third of its kind, in
order to discuss and exchange views on the theme of Internet protocol (IP) telephony. Some
757 people participated in the Forum, representing 121 Member States (including 25 of the least
developed countries) and 99 Sector Members. Mr Anthony S.K. Wong, Director-General of the
Office of the Telecommunications Authority of Hong Kong SAR, China, was selected as Chairman.
The Policy Forum was preceded by an Information Session, held on 6 March 2001 and chaired by
Mr Henoch Aguiar, Secretary of Communications of Argentina.
116 The Forum agreed on four "opinions", based on work prepared by an informal group of
experts, relating to:
a)
The general implications of IP Telephony for the membership of the Union;
b)
Actions to assist Member States and Sector Members;
c)
Human resource development issues;
d)
Essential studies by ITU to facilitate the introduction of "IP telephony".
117 In planning a future timetable for WTPFs, PP-02 may wish to take account of the fact that
2003 is likely to be a very busy year, with WRC-03, World TELECOM and WSIS-03 all taking
place. For that reason, it may be more realistic to plan for a future WTPF to take place in 2004 at
the earliest.
Resolution 25 (Rev.Minneapolis, 1998) - Strengthening the regional presence
Background
118 Resolution 25 (Rev.Minneapolis, 1998) instructs the Director of BDT, in close consultation
with the Secretary-General and the Directors of BR and TSB, to strengthen gradually the regional
presence. In accordance with that resolution, the Council included the regional presence as an item
in the agenda of each of its sessions. Every year the Secretary-General and the Directors of BDT,
BR and TSB submitted a report to the Council on this issue. Council-99 recommended a series of
actions in Resolution 1143. On the basis of Recommendation R38 of the Working Group on
Reform, Council-01 approved Resolution 1183, instructing the Coordination Committee to examine
the functions of the regional offices and the Secretary-General to submit an action plan in order to
achieve the objectives identified in the resolution.
Major achievements in the implementation of Resolution 25 (Rev.Minneapolis, 1998)
Strengthening and widening of the regional presence
119 Having in mind that, as stated in Resolution 25 (Kyoto, 1994), the principal aim of regional
presence is to enable the Union to be as close as possible to its members, particularly the developing
countries, the functions and activities of the regional presence were considered, enlarged and
defined more clearly. Council-99 Resolution 1143 was very useful for this work.
120 The Director of BDT undertook a consistent recruitment process in order to fill the vacant
posts in the field, within the allocated resources.

13.08.02
15.08.02
- 31 PP-02/36-E
121 Work on the establishment of a new area office in Moscow, pursuant to the decision by
Council-01, is under way.
122 Several centres of excellence (CoE) were established during the last three years to address the
needs of the regions. Even though the CoE are not per se part of the field offices, they serve to
enhance the regional presence.
Improving the functioning and working methods
123 A new BDT structure was set up and implemented in 1999, which reflected the increased role
of field offices.
124 The job descriptions of the regional office heads and regional coordinators were adjusted in
accordance with the new structure, as well as the job descriptions of other field staff.
125 The participation of the heads of regional offices (or of their representatives) in the work of
relevant ITU and BDT policy-making and decision-making meetings (e.g. Council, TDAG, regional
preparatory meetings, etc.) became a regular practice.
126 The periodical convening of regional coordination meetings with the participation of all
professional field staff provides an opportunity to address general telecommunication development
issues as well as the specific problems of each region. Recently, such meetings are being
successfully organized using teleconference call technology.
Strengthening the role of the regional presence in the ITU-D strategic planning process
127 With a view to preparing the World Telecommunication Development Conference
(Istanbul, 2002), a series of regional preparatory meetings was organized. The regional offices
played a leading role in this process, helping the membership in its preparation for the meetings, in
order to identify regional strategies and objectives to be achieved during the next four-year period.
Enhancing the role of the regional presence in the operational planning and implementation
process
128 Specific guidelines for the preparation and implementation of the ITU-D annual operational
plan have been prepared, under which the regional offices have the authority and the duty to prepare
regional plans, on the basis of the annual objectives of the VAP programmes and the tentative
allocated budget. They are thus, fully involved in the budget planning process. They take into
consideration the priorities of the regions and the specific needs of the countries. Accordingly, they
are responsible for implementation of the regional plans. Approval of direct (ad hoc) assistance in
the framework of the annual allocated budget is based upon the recommendations of the regional
offices.
Improving collaboration with the General Secretariat and the other ITU Sectors
129 In order to improve such collaboration, numerous coordination meetings have been organized
at managerial level where concrete measures have been adopted.
130 As a result, several regional joint meetings (BDT and TSB or BDT and BR) have been
organized. The field offices, assisting the membership in its preparation for global ITU meetings,
organized regional meetings of the Sectors' study groups and other regional preparatory meetings in
cooperation with BR and TSB. Regional meetings to disseminate information about the activities of
ITU-R and ITU-T were also organized.
131 Heads of regional offices (or their representatives) were often requested to represent the
Secretary-General and the Directors at important regional events to which the latter had been
invited.

132 The specific appropriations in the BR and TSB budgets for the regional presence under
Council-01 decision have been incorporated in the Sector's operational plans, to cover mainly
organization of regional seminars and regional information sessions, organization of new
technology seminars in the regions, bringing in top experts participating in the Sector's study
groups, etc.
Improving connectivity and IT integration between headquarters and field offices
133 A plan for improving the connectivity of ITU field offices was described in Council
Document C01/19 (Report on ITU regional presence). Having in mind the urgent needs of African
field offices for this connectivity, the BDT organized in July 2001 a special fact-finding mission in
all offices of the region, resulting in a comprehensive analysis of the situation and a series of
proposals aimed at solving the problems. The IS Department, in close collaboration with BDT,
established in December 2001 a project team to work on the implementation of the plan. This team
has developed its work programme, aiming first at ensuring permanent Internet connectivity. At the
2002 Council session, some Councillors expressed their concerns about the delay in establishing a
reliable field connectivity and insisted that the deadline to ensure complete connectivity between
headquarters and field offices be the end of 2002. On 24 June 2002 the ITU Policy and Strategy
Committee approved an updated plan for action, aiming at completion of Phase 1 of the initial plan
by 1 September 2002.
Conclusion
134 The provisions of Resolution 25 (Rev.Minneapolis, 1998) were implemented successfully.
Increasingly, the regional presence encompasses the full variety of ITU work and responds to the
real needs of the ITU membership. Improvement of its work is a permanent process, which will
continue in the future.
Resolution 30 (Kyoto, 1994) - Special measures for the least developed countries
Background
135 Resolution 30 (Kyoto, 1994) of the Plenipotentiary Conference was adopted at a time when
the number of least developed countries (LDCs) had risen to 48, from 25 in 1971.
136 Today, the situation has changed in a number of ways. First, the number of LDCs has
increased from the 1994 figure of 48 to 49, with Senegal being the newest member to join in 2001.
Second, the United Nations General Assembly held its third United Nations Conference on Least
Developed Countries (Brussels, 2001) and adopted a Programme of Action for the LDCs. Third, the
state of telecommunication and related information and communication technologies (ICT) in the
LDCs has improved from the 1994 figures, but remains too far behind the rest of the world.
Major achievements in the implementation of Resolution 30 (Kyoto, 1994)
Assistance to LDCs before WTDC-98
137 ITU has, since 1971, accorded special assistance to LDCs. Until 1992, ITU funds were
utilized on an ad hoc basis to finance experts, equipment procurement, fellowships, etc. From 1992,
the approach changed for the better with the introduction of a programme approach to assistance,
leading to implementation based on clearly defined priority areas.
138 WTDC (Valletta, 1998) decided to include in the Valletta Action Plan (VAP) a Special
Programme for LDCs, specifying objectives and targets.

Objectives:
•
To reform the telecommunication sector so as to introduce new structures which are more
conducive to faster and sustained telecommunication development, with well-managed and
modern networks.
•
To increase the penetration of telecommunication services so as to achieve universal access to
those services.
Targets:
•
To meet fully the demand for telecommunication services in urban areas. This means virtually
eliminating the waiting list for services by the year 2005, which translates into an average
urban main line (ML) density of 10 per 100 inhabitants.
•
To achieve a rural ML density of 2 ML per 10 000 inhabitants.
139 A new strategy in providing assistance to LDCs was adopted. The strategy that is in current
use seeks to concentrate the Union's efforts and resources on a number of selected LDCs each year,
with the support of the recipient country itself and other development partners that the Union
mobilizes to help. For each country, the topics covered by the six VAP programmes are dealt with
and specific country's problems are treated. The combination of these two forms of assistance
constitutes a specific country programme.
Implementation of the Special Programme for LDCs
140 In 1999, the LDC programme started a little late as funds only became available after the
Council meeting in June of that year. However, in line with the new strategy, Uganda was selected
as a beneficiary country. The telemedicine project and the provision of a telecentre in Eastern
Uganda were an outstanding success. Other accomplishments were consultancies for the preparation
of a business plan to enable Uganda Telecommunications Limited to become an Internet service
provider, and the preparation of specifications for radio spectrum monitoring equipment. A seminar
on partnerships and rural telecom development for English-speaking countries was also crowned
with success. Yemen was the other beneficiary of teletraffic engineering consultancy.
141 In 2000, assistance was successfully provided to six countries, namely Cambodia, Chad,
Comoros, Ethiopia, Sudan and Tanzania. In the area of sector restructuring, Cambodia, Comoros
and Ethiopia have expressed profound appreciation for ITU assistance. Haiti was dropped due to
political instability in the country. Sudan benefited form consultancies on planning and tariffs,
while Tanzania benefited from a range of consultancies for policy on universal access/service,
spectrum management and interconnection mechanisms.
142 In 2001, assistance was provided to six countries, namely Eritrea, Guinea-Bissau,
Mozambique, Nepal, Niger and Yemen. Delays were experienced in the implementation of some
actions, mostly due to requests from beneficiary countries asking for a postponement to give them
more time to review their sector needs. Notwithstanding such delays, it is envisioned that when the
VAP implementation period comes to an end, all the actions within the five priority areas
(introduction of new technologies, sector restructuring, rural telecommunication development,
human resources development/management and financing) of the Special Programme for the least
developed countries will have been fully dealt with in accordance with the programme's objectives.
143 Eight countries have been selected to benefit from concentrated assistance in the year 2002,
namely Haiti, Djibouti, Bhutan, Kiribati, Central African Republic, Mali, Malawi and Zambia.

Results and comments
144 Looking at the 1999 and 2000 teledensities, there has already been some progress made by the
countries that benefited from ITU assistance. The average teledensity for the countries that have so
far received assistance under the Special Programme has increased by 0.16, rising from an average
of 0.42 in 1998 (i.e. before VAP implementation) to 0.58 in 2000. Sudan and Uganda performed
best in the group, with a teledensity increasing from 0.57 and 0.3 in 1998 to 1.24 and 1.3 in 2000,
respectively. Assistance to Sudan in 2000 in the area of human resources development/management
accounts for the country's better performance. When statistics for 2001 become available, the
average teledensity of all the twelve countries that have benefited from the Special Programme is
projected to rise above 1.0, since the group includes some countries with a fast growing
telecommunication sector such as Yemen and Nepal. Judging from the current rate of growth, and
the level of assistance flowing from ITU to LDCs, it is not likely that the VAP targets set can be
achieved within the stated time-frame of 2005. However, if the level of assistance is increased, it is
possible to increase average telephone density to five main lines per 100 inhabitants and Internet
connections to ten users per 100 inhabitants by the year 2010, as declared in the Programme of
Action for the Least Developed Countries for the decade 2001-2010 adopted at the third United
Nations Conference on the Least Developed Countries in Brussels, Belgium on 20 May 2001.
145 Taking all the LDCs as a group, some ten of them are doing extremely well and have already
exceeded the 2005 target, while another ten to twenty will meet the target; but the whole group will
be pulled down by the dismal performance of those dozen states that were afflicted by civil strife.
146 The main constraint in the implementation of the programme is insufficient financing. In
order for the programme to achieve more meaningful outcomes, there is need for a high initial cash
outlay aimed at assisting selected countries to jump-start their telecom sector throughout the year.
Standby funds should be available to continue ad-hoc work in "weaned" countries so as to maintain
momentum on initiated projects.
147 The Partnership Round Table held in November 2000 for the first six LDCs to benefit from
the new strategy of concentrated efforts was revealing. It became apparent that the erstwhile interest
from development banks in financing telecommunication projects in LDCs had waned. Funding of
projects will, in the future, most likely come from the private sector.
Resolution 31 (Kyoto, 1994) - Telecommunication infrastructure and socio-economic and
cultural development
148 Resolution 31 (Kyoto, 1994) of the Plenipotentiary Conference resolved that:
•
the Union should continue to organize, conduct or sponsor necessary studies to bring out, in a
different and changing context, the contribution of telecommunications to overall
development;
•
the Union should also act as a clearing house for information on the results of similar studies
carried out by other national, regional and international bodies,
149 It instructed the Secretary-General:
•
to bring the resolution to the attention of all interested parties, including, in particular, UNDP,
IBRD, regional development banks and national development funds for cooperation;
•
•
to organize studies, from time to time, as necessary, within the available credits;
to report annually to the Council on the progress made in the implementation of the
resolution;
•
to arrange for the wide dissemination of the findings of the studies carried out in accordance
with the resolution.

150 Activities undertaken by ITU in support of the resolution include:
a)
Publication of a number of reports on the development of the telecommunication sector.
These include the World Telecommunication Development Reports, as well as regional and
topical reports. While the reports focus on the enhancement of access to telecommunications
and other ICTs, they also touch on the benefits and contribution of these to society and the
economy. For example, the 2002 World Telecommunication Development Report, on
reinventing telecommunications, examined the new telecommunications world and how this is
contributing to a much higher share of Gross Domestic Product.
b)
Recent reports on the Internet have looked at ICT applications in the business, health,
education and government sectors. These include the Internet for Development report (1999)
as well as Internet country case studies (available at: http://www.itu.int/ITU-D/ict/cs/).
c)
The wide dissemination of these reports is carried out through the Sales and Marketing
Service, references in the international press and availability on the ITU website.
d)
In terms of serving as a clearinghouse for information on similar studies carried out by others,
such studies are referenced in the ITU reports. In addition, links to such reports are provided
on the relevant ITU webpages.
e)
BDT has also organized a number of workshops in which the importance of
telecommunications for overall economic and social development was highlighted.
151 Some of the activities initiated by the General Secretariat also give effect to this resolution,
namely:
a)
Preparations for the World Summit on the Information Society;
b)
Creation of the New Initiatives programme.

Resolution 72 (Minneapolis, 1998) - Linking strategic, financial and operational
planning in ITU
155 Resolution 72 (Minneapolis, 1998) calls upon the Secretary-General and the Directors of the
Bureaux to report to the Council on the linkages between strategic, financial and operational
planning. This was done annually in Documents C99/31, C00/EP/02, C01/20 and C02/19. In
addition, each year since 1999, the operational plans of the Sectors and the General Secretariat have
been reported to the Council. A website with links to all the different operational plans, the draft
financial plan and the draft strategic plan has also been created at
http://www.itu.int/osg/spu/sfo/index.html.
156 The resolution also called for a review of the Financial Regulations of the Union. This task
has been carried out by a Working Group of Council and proposed changes were presented in
Document C02/10.
157 The division of responsibilities for the different plans and budgets, as established at PP-98,
may be summarized as follows:

1)
ITU Members draft, and the Plenipotentiary Conference adopts, the strategic plan;
2)
The Secretary-General drafts, and the Plenipotentiary Conference adopts, the financial plan;
3)
The Secretary-General and Directors draft, and the advisory groups and the Council review
and/or approve, the operational plans; and
4)
The Secretary-General proposes the biennial budgets for the Council's review and adoption.
158 The main progress on linkage made since 1998 includes the following:
•
All three Sectors and the General Secretariat now routinely prepare, publish and implement
operational plans. Prior to PP-98, only the Radiocommunication Sector published an
operational plan, but now they are an integral part of the planning process throughout ITU.
•
The Working Group on ITU Reform has proposed a move towards rolling financial and
operational plans for the Sectors and the General Secretariat (WGR Recommendation R15).
•
An ITU annual report is now published each year, in addition to the separate ITU TELECOM
report, complementing the annual report on the activities of the Union.
•
In line with WGR Recommendation R32b (CR 12), a monthly bulletin "Update" is now sent
by e-mail to all councillors.
•
The new procedures adopted by PP-98 for the preparation of the draft strategic plan by the
membership have been followed. In 2001, the Council appointed Ms Kathleen Heceta of the
Philippines to chair the group to prepare a draft plan. In accordance with Council
Decision 504, the group posted a first draft of the strategic plan on the ITU website on
1 December 2001. The group met in Geneva on 7-8 March 2002 and prepared a revised
version (C02/33). The Sector advisory groups have been very active in preparing inputs to the
strategic plan. The work of the group, as revised by Council, is available on the website at
http://www.itu.int/stratplan.
•
A draft financial plan has been prepared and was reviewed by the 2002 Council. Council
established an ad hoc Group of Council to work further on this. The draft plan establishes a
framework of financial discipline for the period 2004-07, covering two biennial budgets.
159 Nevertheless, despite this progress, some problems still remain, including in terms of
synchronization of the different planning cycles, the timing of the plans and their review, the
allocation of financial responsibility and lack of feedback. For these reasons, more guidance is
required from PP-02 to help resolve some of these issues.
Resolution 73 (Minneapolis, 1998) - World summit on the information society
Background
160 Resolution 73 (Minneapolis, 1998) resolved to instruct the Secretary-General to place the
question of the holding of a World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS) on the agenda of the
United Nations Administrative Committee on Coordination (ACC) and to report to the Council on
the results of that consultation. In his report to the 1999 session of the Council, the
Secretary-General indicated that the reaction of the ACC (renamed the "CEB" in 2002) was positive
and that a number of other organizations and agencies had expressed interest in being associated
with the preparation and holding of the summit (Document C99/41). In 2000, ACC again expressed
its support for the summit and adopted an action plan for its organization, under the high patronage
of the UN Secretary-General and with ITU taking the lead role in preparations.
161 Resolution 73 (Minneapolis, 1998) further instructed the Council, in light of the results of the
consultation, to consider and decide on the Union's contribution to the holding of WSIS. To that
end, an ITU secretariat task force was formed in 1999 to prepare a feasibility study and it reported
Y:\APP\PDF_SERVER\EDMG\IN\PP02\036V2E.DOC (146399)
13.08.02
15.08.02
- 37 PP-02/36-E
its results to the Council in 2000. Council-2000 considered the feasibility study and generally
supported its conclusions. By Resolution 1158 (Document C2000/87), the Council instructed the
Secretary-General to continue to consult with the interested parties on holding the summit in the
year 2003 and to select a venue and begin making other preparations.
162 Council-01 considered the report of the Secretary-General and, in Resolution 1179
(Document C2001/114), endorsed the framework for a summit in two phases, with the first phase in
Geneva in 2003 and the second phase in Tunisia in 2005.
163 On 21 December 2001, the UN General Assembly adopted Resolution 56/183 welcoming the
World Summit on the Information Society. The resolution endorses the framework for the summit
approved by the ITU Council and the leading role of the Union in the summit and its preparation, in
cooperation with other interested organizations and partners. The full text of the resolution can be
found at http://www.itu.int/newsroom/press_releases/2002/01.html. The resolution recommends an
open-ended intergovernmental preparatory process in which other stakeholders actively participate
and make contributions.
164 The 2002 Council considered a report by the Secretary-General (Document C02/26) on the
status of summit preparations and a report of the Council Liaison Committee (Document C02/52).
Discussion focused on the themes, organization and financing of the summit. The Council adopted
Resolution 1196 on preparations for WSIS and Decision 509 on ITU Financial Arrangements for
WSIS.
Preparatory process
165 The first Preparatory Committee (PrepCom-1) meeting was set for 1-5 July 2002 in Geneva.
The purpose of the PrepCom meetings is to set the framework and the working methods of the
summit, and to consider the agenda, themes and output for the first phase in Geneva 2003. The
PrepCom meetings will also determine the modalities for the participation of the non-State summit
stakeholders. A second PrepCom meeting will be held in the first or second quarter of 2003 and a
third in the third quarter of 2003.
166 A series of regional preparatory conferences will be held in late 2002 and early 2003. It is
expected that these meetings will focus on subjects of concern to each region and will provide
further input to the summit. A conference for the African region was held in Bamako on
28-30 May 2002 in advance of PrepCom-1.
Organization of the summit
Council
167 Resolution 1179 (Document C2001/114) established a liaison committee for the summit to be
headed by the Chairman of Council-01. The Liaison Committee is open to all Member States of the
Council. The intention is for it to work by electronic means to the largest extent possible. Details on
the work of the Liaison Committee and on the comments received from members can be found at
http://www.itu.int/council/indexgroups.html.
168 Resolution 1196 converted the Liaison Committee into a WSIS Working Group to be chaired
by the Chairman of Council-01. The Working Group is open to all Member States and Sector
Members and its mandate is set forth in the Resolution. Resolution 1196 also instructed the
Secretary-General to report to PP-02 on ITU activities in preparation for WSIS and the report is
contained in Document C02/81.
High Level Summit Organizing Committee
169 The fall 2000 meeting of ACC endorsed an action plan to organize the summit which called
for the creation of a High-Level Summit Organizing Committee (HLSOC), consisting of those UN

13.08.02
15.08.02
- 38 PP-02/36-E
agencies interested in participating in the preparation of WSIS. Under its terms of reference, the
ITU Secretary-General is the Chairman of HLSOC. The first physical meeting of HLSOC took
place in New York on 18 October 2001 in conjunction with the fall 2001 ACC meeting and the next
meeting is planned for November 2002. The report of the first HLSOC meeting can be found at
http://www.itu.int/council/wsis/hlsoc_report.html.
Executive Secretariat
170 The Executive Secretariat of the summit is the entity that will organize much of the summit
preparations. It is composed of experts detached from parties interested in the summit. It began
functioning in September 2001 and, as of June 2002, some 16 commitments had been received to
detach experts to serve on the Executive Secretariat. In May 2002, Pierre Gagne was appointed as
Executive Director of the Executive Secretariat.
Budget
171 In addition to the financial support offered by the two host countries, the summit is being
organized on the basis of extra budgetary resources. Resolution 56/183 of the UN General
Assembly invites the international community to make voluntary contributions to a special trust
fund established by ITU to support the summit as well as to facilitate the effective participation of
representatives of developing countries, in particular those from the least developed countries.
172 By decision 509, Council-02 decided to establish a loan guarantee mechanism through the
Exhibitions Working Capital Fund to provide for the liquidity of summit preparations. That decision
also provided for the inclusion of CHF 1 890 000 in the draft ITU Financial Plan for 2004-2007.
Decision 509 also requires the Secretary-General to inform Council regularly of the result of fundraising efforts for the summit and of the cost of providing the loan and to report to the
Plenipotentiary Conference.
173 The estimated cost of organizing the first phase of the summit, excluding the contribution of
the host country, is approximately CHF 7.8 million and a similar amount for the second phase.
Themes
174 The proposed themes for the summit were developed by the ITU secretariat, in consultation
with other UN agencies and summit partners, and were presented to the ITU Council in 2000, 2001
and 2002. The proposed themes include:
−
Building the infrastructure
−
Opening the gates: universal and equitable access to the information society
−
Services and applications
−
The needs of the user
−
Developing a framework
−
ICT and education.

Council, elected officials, and members of the Radio Regulations Board
177 See Council report to PP-02 published separately in Document PP02/30.
Resolution 79 (Minneapolis, 1998) - International Telecommunication Regulations
178 Resolution 79 (Minneapolis, 1998) instructs the ITU Secretary-General, in consultation with
the Director of TSB and a balanced group of appropriate experts, to advise the Council on any
action the Union should take in relation to the International Telecommunication Regulations (ITR).
Pursuant to the resolution, Council-99 appointed a group of 19 experts, which met in Geneva on
8-10 November 1999 and continued its work through working groups operating by electronic
means1.
179 At the first meeting, the Expert Group considered a background document, prepared by the
ITU secretariat, analysing the status of the ITRs, together with other written and oral contributions
from members.
180 Despite much useful analysis and a lively exchange of opinions, there was little sign of
convergence of opinion. The group decided therefore to retain four options, which the ITU
Secretary-General reported to Council-2000:
a)
termination of the ITR by integrating them into other instruments;
b)
update the ITR, while keeping them as an intergovernmental treaty;
c)
d)
defer decision;
inclusion of new topics in the ITR.
181 In order to obtain the views of the membership on each option, Council-2000 proposed that a
questionnaire should be distributed. Accordingly, a questionnaire was designed and circulated to all
Member States and Sector Members on 20 December 2000. Out of 189 ITU Member States, 168 of
which are party to the ITR, 27 responded to the questionnaire. Out of a total of 656 Sector Members
(as at December 2000), 21 responded. The overall response rate was 6 per cent. The results of the
survey were reported to Council-01.
182 The results confirmed that there are wide-ranging differences of opinion within the
membership with regard to the need for the ITR as a treaty-level instrument; whether they should be
amended; and, if so, how and where this should occur. It was considered unlikely there would be
overall support for any single option.
183 Council-01 invited Member States to continue to reflect on the ITR and to submit proposals
on a voluntary basis, and also invited the Director of TSB to advise on the matter. It also invited the
Secretary-General to submit a report to the Council at its next session, inter alia, providing
information on the scheduling and cost of holding a world conference on international
telecommunications.

184 The Secretary-General submitted a report (Document C02/20) to Council-02 providing
information about the procedures to revise the ITR, a draft schedule for a world conference on
international telecommunications (WCIT), and a cost estimate for convening a future WCIT. The
budget estimates for preparing and holding WCIT, including the preparatory process, are around
CHF 8.5 million at current (2002) prices, assuming it is held in Geneva for a duration of 12 days.
185 The results of the discussion at Council are summarized in Document PP02/39, which also
contains the relevant excerpts from the summary record. Council did not discuss the financial
estimates for holding a future world conference on international telecommunications.
Resolution 82 (Minneapolis, 1998) - Approval of questions and recommendations
186 The reform process in the period 1994-98 considered different ways to create an alternative
procedure for the approval of questions and recommendations that are not of a policy or regulatory
nature and thereby enhance the rights of Sector Members. At PP-98, Member States adopted
amendments to the Convention (Nos. 246 A-H) to permit the use of an alternative approval process,
except where matters with regulatory or policy implications are concerned. Resolution 82
(Minneapolis, 1998) recognized that each Sector may adapt its own working methods and
procedures for the approval of questions and recommendations.
187 The Resolution further invited each of the Sectors to adopt its own procedures and guidelines
for the use of an alternative approval process for matters that do not have policy or regulatory
implications. The respective advisory groups of the Sectors, namely the Radiocommunication
Advisory Group (RAG), the Telecommunication Standardization Advisory Group (TSAG) and the
Telecommunication Development Advisory Group (TDAG) separately considered the matter. The
Directors of the Bureaux were instructed to report to the Council on the implementation of the
resolution, and their respective reports are set forth below. Under the resolution, the Council is
instructed to report to the next Plenipotentiary Conference on any action that may be necessary.
Implementation of Resolution 82 (Minneapolis, 1998) in ITU-R
188 In response to Resolution 82 (Minneapolis, 1998), the ITU Radiocommunication Assembly
(RA-2000) approved Resolutions ITU-R 5-3 and 45 putting into place a provisional procedure for
the alternative approval process (AAP) for ITU-R Recommendations. A key step in the procedure is
the identification of Questions which could give rise to such Recommendations, and an overriding
condition is that such Questions have no policy or regulatory implications. In accordance with
Resolution ITU-R 5-3, a list of potential Questions was first produced by each study group, and
then submitted to Member States for unopposed approval.
189 The process of identification has given the following results:
•
some ITU-R study groups were unable to identify any Questions suitable for AAP;
•
three study groups identified a number of Questions considered suitable for AAP and circular
letters were sent to Member States requesting their approval;
•
as a result of this consultation, only 45 Questions, all assigned to ITU-R Study Group 6, were
considered suitable for AAP.
190 Study Group 6 at its last meeting (September 2001) proposed two additional draft new
Questions and one draft revised Question for approval under AAP (approval process still ongoing as
of 23 December 2001).
191 In application of the new process, Study Group 6 adopted/approved seven Recommendations
in response to Questions already identified for AAP. An additional five Recommendations in this
category are in the course of adoption/approval as at 23 December 2001.

192 Although experience with this new procedure is still limited, it is clear that some
administrations have significant difficulties in identifying any Questions in ITU-R as suitable for
AAP.
193 AAP was foreseen as having two potential benefits, namely to accelerate the approval of
certain Recommendations, and to allow Sector Members to be more involved in the approval
process. If in practice the new procedure has an insignificant impact on the Sector's effectiveness as
regards Recommendations, then its value in ITU-R at least must be called into question.
Furthermore, it should be borne in mind that the administration of AAP is not without cost,
entailing staff time, translation, mailing, etc. for the study groups and for the Bureau.
194 At some study group meetings, the view was expressed that it might be easier and reasonable
to select draft Recommendations rather than Questions for AAP in order to achieve the goal of
allowing Sector Members to be more involved in the approval process.
195 At its meeting on 12-16 March 2001, RAG considered this situation and some views were
expressed that the current process of identification of Questions should be discontinued, as it has no
effect on the overall process of approval of ITU-R Recommendations, until such time as PP-02
reviews the situation with respect to ITU-R.
196 Bearing in mind the instructions from PP-98, as contained in Resolution 82, RAG offered the
following advice to the Director:
•
BR should report to the Council, indicating the experiences with the application of AAP.
•
The study groups should continue with their efforts in the application of AAP, in accordance
with Resolution ITU-R 45, and should report on their experiences in this regard to RA-03.
Implementation of Resolution 82 (Minneapolis, 1998) in ITU-T
197 In October 2000, the World Telecommunication Standardization Assembly (Montreal, 2000)
approved ITU-T Recommendation A.8 which describes the alternative approval process (AAP) for
new and revised Recommendations. It also approved ITU-T Resolution 1, Section 8, and ITU-T
Resolution 40, which provide additional guidelines for Recommendations to be selected for the
approval process.
198 AAP was fully implemented shortly after WTSA-2000. During the first year of
implementation, results have been extremely successful and all aspects of the process have been
exercised. Except in Study Group 3, TSAG and partly Study Group 2, all other study groups are
mainly using AAP to approve technical Recommendations. In 2001, 179 technical
Recommendations and related texts were approved using AAP. In about 60 per cent of cases, the
approval process took less than eight weeks, in 80 per cent less than 12 weeks. Progress on speed
can be measured by the average time from Determination/Consent to Notification of approval: this
has been reduced from a minimum of two years (1989-1993), to 18 months (1993-1996), to
10 months (1996-2000), to 10 weeks under AAP.
199 The objectives originally set have been fully achieved while maintaining full openness and
transparency, including:
•
faster approval time;
•
•
reduction of the volume and cost of documents;
approval without need for physical meetings and additional travel;
•
increased opportunity for participation of all members of ITU-T: Member States and Sector
Members acting together;
•
increased use of electronic communications.

- 42 PP-02/36-E
200 As of January 2002, AAP has been implemented using exclusively electronic means, thus
achieving a paperless approval procedure. It should also be reported that the implementation of APP
has been successfully carried out by the TSB without any additional recruitment.
Implementation of Resolution 82 (Minneapolis, 1998) in ITU-D
201 In ITU-D, the process of approval of Questions and Recommendations is covered in
WTDC-98 Resolution 4 and its Appendix. It must be remembered that this resolution preceded
PP-98 Resolution 82 (Minneapolis, 1998). In line with Resolution 4 and its Appendix, Questions
and Recommendations are approved by a World Telecommunication Development Conference, or,
in the interval between two conferences, by ITU-D study groups, following the procedure described
in Section 4 of the Appendix to the resolution.
202 During the 1998-2002 study period, TDAG established a group on the structure and working
methods of the ITU-D study groups, with the mandate to simplify the working methods of the
ITU-D study groups, taking into account Resolution 82 (Minneapolis, 1998), the experience gained
so far in ITU-R and ITU-T and particularly in ITU-D, and areas of improvement such as reduction
of the cost and volume of documentation, reports at meetings, processing of documents, etc.
203 The group completed its work and presented it to TDAG at its October 2001 and
January 2002 meetings. The final report of the group contains draft revisions to WTDC-98
Resolutions 3 and 4, aimed at simplifying the procedures for approving Questions and
Recommendations.
204 The need for an alternative approval process for draft new and revised recommendations in
the interval between two WTDCs was also assessed by the group. According to Nos. 246A and
246B of the Convention there is no obligation to implement such a procedure if it is not needed,
considering the context of the Sector concerned. The introduction of an alternative approval process
was subject to extensive discussion within the group and a consensus could not be achieved. TDAG
decided not to forward a proposal to WTDC-02 on this matter, and further agreed that consideration
of an AAP in ITU-D could be taken up by WTDC-02 itself, should there be a requirement to do so.
205 In the meantime, ITU-D study groups approved four new and six revised Recommendations
in the interval between two conferences using the normal approval procedure.
Resolution 90 (Minneapolis, 1998) - Review of the contribution of Sector Members towards
defraying the expenses of ITU
206 Pursuant to the "instructs the Council" provision of Resolution 90, in particular the invitation
to Member States and Sector Members to participate in the review, the absence of contributions on
this subject resulted in the following:
−
no terms of reference, general guidelines nor specific procedures were drawn up for
conducting the review,
−
no discussion took place on this subject during the course of the deliberations of the WGR.
207 Member States may wish to invite the Plenipotentiary Conference to examine Resolution 90
with a view to updating its provisions in light of developments concerning the rights and obligations
of Sector Members since PP-98.

Resolution 91 (Minneapolis, 1998) - Cost recovery for some ITU products and services
210 Pursuant to Resolution 91 (Minneapolis, 1998), which endorsed the use of cost recovery as a
means of funding the products and services of the Union for which the cost-recovery approach is
adopted, the Secretary-General submitted two reports to the Council, respectively at its 1999 and
2002 sessions. Document C99/47 describes the changes made to the cost-allocation methodology
and the justifications thereto, as well as a number of possible areas for the extended application of
the cost-recovery principle. The current application of cost recovery to products and services of the
Union and the progress made in the implementation of Resolution 91 are summarized in
Document C02/38.
211 In 2000, the Council authorized, by its Resolution 1155, the implementation of the registrar
function for ITU for Universal International Premium Rate Numbers and Universal International
Shared Cost Numbers as of 3 January 2001 and set the related registration fee. Subsequently in
2001, by its Resolution 1168, the Council authorized the implementation of cost recovery for the
ATM End System Addresses (AESAs) registrar functions as of 1 September 2001, and set the
registration fee.
212 In respect of cost recovery for Satellite Network Filings, following the final report of the
Council Working Group (Document C99/68), the Council approved in 1999, by Decision 482, the
cost-recovery methodology to be followed and the schedule of charges to be applied. This decision
was subsequently modified by the Council at its 2001 session, and the main changes were in respect
of a) charging basis for modifications to a filing; b) requirement that the basic fee for a filing be
invoiced at the time of receipt of a filing; and c) updating the schedule.
213 In 2002, the Council established an ad hoc Group by its Decision 510. The Group will
continue to consider the alternative basis for charging that does not depend on number of pages, and
to determine the factors to be considered for evaluation and implications of applying cost attribution
to activities associated with the processing of Satellite Network Filings towards the application of
full cost recovery.
Resolution 93 (Minneapolis, 1998) - Special arrears accounts
214 See Council report to PP-02 published separately in Document PP02/37.
Resolution 97 (Minneapolis, 1998) - Occupational illness
215 Further to Resolution 97 (Minneapolis, 1998) on occupational illness, Council-99 adopted
Resolution 1142 instructing the Secretary-General to continue studying the risks of illness occurring
by reason of prior employment with ITU and affecting former staff members of the Union.
Council-2000 took note of an information report by the Secretary-General
(Document C2000/EP13). It noted that commercial insurance companies had refused to cover these
risks, citing the difficulty of proving the occupational origin of such illness and impossibility of
covering so indeterminate a risk. The Personnel and Social Protection Department continued to
follow developments in the UN, which is still in the process of revising its provisions regarding
occupational accident, illness and death.
Resolution 100 (Minneapolis, 1998) - Role of the Secretary-General of ITU as depositary for
memoranda of understanding
216 Council-98 Resolution 1116 instructed the Secretary-General to act as depositary of the
GMPCS-MoU and its arrangements and to make available the information supplied by the
signatories implementing the arrangements. Resolution 100 (Minneapolis, 1998) confirmed the role
of the Secretary-General of ITU as depositary for MoUs and instructed the Council to formulate

13.08.02
15.08.02
- 47 PP-02/36-E
criteria and guidelines for the Secretary-General to respond to requests to serve as depositary for
MoUs and to implement a mechanism to review the activities of the Secretary-General in this
matter. Council-99 approved Document C99/2 on the role of the Secretary-General as depositary for
MoUs which included a set of criteria and guidelines, based on the principles identified in
Resolution 100 (Minneapolis, 1998) to be applied by the Secretary-General in responding to
requests to serve as depositary for MoUs. Those criteria and guidelines are as follows:
a)
The involvement of the Secretary-General as depositary would contribute to and be within the
purposes of the Union as set forth in Article 1 of the Constitution
–
Is the subject matter and objective of the MoU consistent with the purposes and interests of
the Union?
–
What are the links, if any, between ITU and the proponents and signatories of the MoU?
b)
The involvement of the Secretary-General will be on the basis of cost recovery
–
Does the MoU make provision for reimbursement for the depositary function?
–
Do the proponents of the MoU possess sufficient legal capacity to ensure that financial or
other obligations toward the depositary will be met?
c)
The sovereignty and rights of ITU Member States are fully respected and preserved
–
Is the MoU open to participation by a significant portion of ITU Member States and/or Sector
Members?
–
Are the provisions of the MoU consistent with the interests of ITU Member States?
–
Does participation by the Secretary-General as depositary create or imply substantive
obligations for ITU Member States or Sector Members?
d)
The role and obligations of the depositary are clearly set forth in the MoU
–
Does the MoU create any obligations on ITU in addition to the role of depositary?
217 The mechanism to review the activities of the Secretary-General as depositary of MoUs is that
the Secretary-General submits an annual report to the Council on his activities as depositary of
MoUs. Furthermore, the Council has to approve any request for the Secretary-General to serve as
the depositary of an MoU.
218 In the light of those criteria and guidelines, Council-99 confirmed acceptance of the
Secretary-General's role as depositary of the DRM Consortium Agreement.
GMPCS-MoU
219 In accordance with the GMPCS-MoU arrangements, Council Resolution 1116 specifically
instructs the Secretary-General: 1) to act as the registry for type-approval procedures; 2) to act as
the registry for terminal types; and 3) to authorize the use of the abbreviation "ITU" in the
GMPCS-MoU mark.
A
Registry of type-approval procedures and terminal types and authorization to use the
abbreviation "ITU"
220 The type-approval registry contains approximately 39 type-approval letters from
administrations and competent authorities. To date, the Secretary-General has authorized seven
terminal manufacturers to use the abbreviation "ITU", incorporated in the GMPCS-MoU mark, on
25 GMPCS terminals. System operators and manufacturers have entered into authorization
agreements to protect ITU against liability. The Secretary-General has sent 14 circular letters to
administrations of Member States of ITU inviting them to indicate whether marked terminals could
be carried into their respective countries. The General Secretariat has received approximately
204 responses, which indicate country conditions on terminal entry or use and customs regulations.

The figures provided reflect the actual number of documents received, and not of documents
handled (i.e. translations of each document into English, French and Spanish). This information is
accessible from the ITU website by system operator, terminal manufacturer, terminal model number
or country.
B
Additional depositary functions
221 The General Secretariat maintains a list of signatories of the GMPCS-MoU. The current list of
signatories has increased to 160 entities, including 75 administrations. The Secretary-General has
convened four annual review meetings of the GMPCS-MoU Group.
C
Cost recovery
222 Resolution 1116 approved GMPCS activities on the basis of full cost recovery. The General
Secretariat developed a methodology in consultation with the GMPCS-MoU Group to recover costs
related to the depositary functions of the Secretary-General, including the use of the abbreviation
"ITU". Contributions for annual membership dues, system operator and terminal manufacturer
notifications continue to provide a sufficient level of funding for the project.
DRM Consortium Agreement
223 The role of the Secretary-General as depositary of the DRM Consortium Agreement is strictly
limited to the following: 1) announcing that the DRM Consortium Agreement has been deposited
with ITU; 2) making the Consortium Agreement and relevant associated documentation available to
all bodies that so request. No other obligation or binding provisions for ITU are included in the
Consortium Agreement. Furthermore, ITU, through BR, has established a cross-reference link
between the ITU-R study group webpages and the DRM webpages.
Conclusion
224 Since Council-99, no new requests for the Secretary-General to serve as the depositary of an
MoU have been received.
Resolution 101 (Minneapolis, 1998) - Internet protocol (IP)-based networks
225 As an important platform for global communications and commerce, Internet protocol
(IP)-based networks, and especially the Internet, have had a major impact on the focus and scope of
ITU's core activities. For example, the 2001 World Telecommunication Policy Forum (WTPF)
(see http://www.itu.int/osg/spu/wtpf/) discussed many of the technical, economic and regulatory
issues associated with IP telephony.
226 Since the adoption of Resolution 101 (Minneapolis, 1998), the many ITU IP-related activities
under way in the Sectors and General Secretariat have been reported in, inter alia, Council
Documents C99/51 (http://www.itu.int/itudoc/gs/council/c99/docs/docs1/051.html), C00/27
(http://www.itu.int/itudoc/gs/council/c00/docs/27.html), C00/27A
(http://www.itu.int/itudoc/gs/council/c00/docs/27a.html) and C01/EP/8
(http://www.itu.int/itudoc/gs/council/c01/docs/ep/008.html). ITU was a founding member of the
MoU on PSO, which was signed in July 1999; an ITU proposed candidate was elected as a Member
of Directors of ICANN in 2000. ITU also provided the secretariat support for PSO from
August 2001 to August 2002.
227 In the standardization domain, IP technologies are now an important work item for almost all
ITU-T study groups. Notably, WTSA-2000 Resolution 2
http://www.itu.int/itudoc/itu-t/wtsa-res/res2.html defined areas of study involving IP networks for
most ITU-T study groups - with Study Group 13 providing a focal point in ITU-T for IP-related

studies, including the interrelationship between IP and telecommunication networks and their
convergence.
228 Since 1999, ITU-T has had under development a number of Recommendations related to
traffic engineering and management of IP networks, including issues related to addressing and
numbering, operations and management (OAM), interworking of mixed non-IP and IP networks,
service management of IP services, including IP telephony, IP-based multimedia, support for IP
over cable networks, as well as IP-related aspects of internetworking for IMT-2000 systems and
beyond. Cooperation between ITU-T and ISOC/IETF has been strengthened in a number of areas.
229 The ITU Sectors as well as the Strategy and Policy Unit (SPU)
(http://www.itu.int/osg/sec/spu/), have organized a number of IP-related workshops and symposia.
For example, in December 2001, under the aegis of the SPU's New Initiatives programme
(http://www.itu.int/ni/), a symposium on the technical, legal and policy issues relating to expanding
the Internet Domain Name System (DNS) to support non-Latin language scripts was jointly
organized by SPU and the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO).
230 In January 2001 and February 2002, ITU-T hosted workshops on ENUM, a protocol that
takes numbers from the international public telecommunication numbering plan as described in
ITU-T Recommendation E.1642 and incorporates them into the DNS for finding networked
resources. As reported to Council-01, ENUM (http://www.itu.int/infocom/enum/) merits particular
consideration by ITU Member States vis-à-vis convergence between PSTN and IP-based networks.
In the development sphere, ITU-D has organized a number of regional Internet-related events and
cooperated with SPU on case studies on the diffusion of the Internet in countries at different stages
of development.
231 ITU-D's new annual Global Symposium for Regulators event provides a new forum where
regulatory challenges and opportunities posed by the Internet and IP-based networks can be
discussed. ITU-D also has a number of Internet training initiatives under way to assist developing
countries, who face an acute shortage of Internet/IP networking professionals. Among numerous
other IP-related activities, ITU publishes a number of reports containing statistics and policy
analysis related to the Internet and IP-based networks.
Resolution 103 (Minneapolis, 1998) - Gradual lifting of interim limitations on the use of
official and working languages of the Union
232 Pursuant to Resolution 103 (Minneapolis, 1998), the Secretary-General submitted reports to
the 1999, 2000 and 2001 sessions of the Council on ways and means of implementing a gradual
lifting of the limitations on the use of all the official and working languages of the Union, together
with an indication of the financial and other implications (Documents C99/57, C2000/17 and
C01/15).
233 As a first step, the Council approved the production of documentation for its 2000 session in
all six languages (Document C99/83, § 3). In the light of that experience, use of all six languages
was subsequently also extended to the 2001 and 2002 sessions. To implement this measure, an
additional CHF 500 000 per session was budgeted to cover the incremental cost of documentation
in the additional languages for the Council.

234 Furthermore, at its 2001 session, the Council approved the use of the six languages for
documentation at WTDC-02 (Istanbul, 2002) and PP-02 (Marrakesh, 2002). An appropriation of
CHF 1 115 000 was included in the budget for that purpose (Document C01/79, § 16.3). This figure
is based on outsourcing of much of the necessary translation work, implying some operational
constraints such as stricter application of submission deadlines and somewhat longer turnaround
times for documents than hitherto (Document C01/105, § 1.7).
235 As part of, and in parallel with, this process, the General Secretariat has actively pursued
efforts to equip the Union for increased use of all six languages. Steps have been taken to
restructure the core units and prospect for external collaborators for outsourcing; conclude and
maintain contracts with publishing houses in China and in Russian-speaking countries; integrate
document production in all six languages in the computerized document tracking and production
system; develop and expand the terminology database of telecommunication terms in Arabic,
Chinese and Russian (AcroTERMITE); monitor closely the latest developments in computerassisted and machine translation, testing systems where feasible and appropriate.
236 Computer facilities made available to delegates at ITU conferences and meetings have been
equipped with multilingual keyboards and software supporting work in all six official and working
languages.
237 Based on Recommendation 17 of the Working Group on ITU Reform, the report of the Group
of Experts to prepare for PP-02 (see Document PP02/31) contains a draft resolution to set the date
[1 January 2005] by which all six official and working languages shall be used on an equal footing
in all of the Union's sphere of activity.
Resolution 104 (Minneapolis, 1998) - Reduction of the volume and cost of documentation for
ITU conferences
238 Pursuant to Resolution 104 (Minneapolis, 1998), the Secretary-General submitted reports to
the 1999 and 2000 sessions of the Council on ways and means of reducing the cost and volume of
the documentation for conferences, together with an indication of the savings gained.
239 In 1999, following the examination of Document C99/15, the Council adopted
Resolution 1141 (Document C99/116) containing a list of measures to be implemented for
conferences, assemblies and the Council. Cost savings, in the amount of CHF 2 854 000, were
reflected in the draft budget 2000-2001.
240 In 2000, the Council examined the measures recommended by the various advisory groups as
well as the measures specifically adopted for RA-2000, WRC-2000, WTSA-2000 and the Council
(Document C2000/12). Those measures were expected to result in another cost reduction estimated
at CHF 2 372 000. Besides, the improvement of the working methods have led to substantial
productivity gains (20% for typing over a four-year period) which have been estimated for
2002-2003 at CHF 942 540 for translation, CHF 591 432 for typing and CHF 1 621 605 for
reprography.
241 All the measures recommended for the Council set out in Document C2000/12, § 4.3, were
implemented, with the exception of one: at the request of the Council, information documents are
translated into three working languages (English, French and Spanish).
242 Concerning ITU-R, all the measures listed in Document C2000/12, § 4.1, were implemented,
with savings in the volume of documentation for RA-2000 and WRC-2000 (as compared to 1997)
of, respectively, 19% and 17% for translation and 27% and 20% for reproduction. Savings in the

243 For ITU-T, all the measures listed in Document C2000/12, § 4.2, were fully implemented. It
was decided, when introducing the alternative approval process (AAP) for ITU-T
Recommendations at WTSA-2000, that only the AAP announcements would be reproduced and
dispatched in paper copies, the documents referred to in the announcements being posted on the
ITU-T website only. Since January 2002, the AAP announcements too are only available on the
ITU-T website. In addition, since ITU-T Member States, Sector Members and Associates have been
encouraged to accept the electronic format for all documents, subscriptions for the electronic format
have increased and the dispatch of paper copies has decreased. Meeting participants, in addition to
LAN connections in the Montbrillant building, now have the possibility to connect to a wireless
LAN which allows connection to the ITU website from any ITU meeting room and thus the holding
of paperless meetings.
244 In ITU-D, all the measures listed in Document C2000/12, § 3.4, were implemented. Further
details concerning the reduction of cost and volume of documentation will be provided after
WTDC-02.
