Telecommunication Development Bureau (BDT) Ref: BDT/DIR/DM/313 Geneva, 6 June 2013 To: Advisory Board Members of the Smart Sustainable Development Model Advisory Board Subject: Smart Sustainable Development Advisory Board Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing to thank you for accepting to serve on the Advisory Board of Smart Sustainable Development Model Initiative. The initiative has received overwhelming support across the globe. For your information, I hereby attach a list of all the invitees who have accepted to become Board members. Owing to prior commitments, a significant number of the Advisory Board members have requested that the first meeting of the Advisory Board be re-scheduled. I have therefore re-scheduled the meeting of the Advisory Board for 18 October 2013 in Geneva in place of 27 June 2013. Meanwhile, I would like to inform you that I will, in the coming days, send you the draft agenda for your perusal in preparation for the upcoming meeting. I take this opportunity to once again thank you for your understanding and continued cooperation. I look forward to an exciting kick-off meeting in October and subsequent work by our Board. Yours faithfully, [Original signed] Brahima Sanou Director International Telecommunication Union • Place des Nations • CH-1211 Geneva 20 • Switzerland Tel: +41 22 730 5111 • Fax: +41 22 730 5545/730 5484 • E-mail: bdtmail@itu.int • www.itu.int/itu-d
