Having regard to the provisions of Resolution 1, Section 9, I should be grateful if you
would inform me by 2400 hours UTC on 14 November 2001 whether your Administration assigns
authority to the Telecommunication Standardization Advisory Group that this draft revised
Recommendation and draft revised Annex should be considered for approval at the
Telecommunication Standardization Advisory Group meeting.
Should any Member States be of the opinion that consideration for approval should not
proceed, they should advise their reasons for disapproving and indicate the possible changes that
would facilitate further consideration and approval of the draft revised Recommendation and draft
revised Annex.
5
If 70% or more of the replies from Member States support consideration for approval of
these draft revised Recommendation and Annex at the Telecommunication Standardization
Advisory Group meeting, one Plenary session will be devoted on 30 November 2001 to apply the
approval procedure.
I accordingly invite your Administration to send a representative to the meeting. The
Administrations of Member States of the Union are invited to supply the name of the head of
their delegation. If your Administration wishes to be represented at the meeting by a recognized
operating agency, a scientific or industrial organization or another entity dealing with
telecommunication matters, the Director should be duly informed, in accordance with Article 19,
No. 239, of the ITU Convention.

The agenda, registration form and all relevant information concerning the
Telecommunication Standardization Advisory Group meeting will be available from Collectiveletter 2/TSAG.

After the meeting, the Director of TSB will notify, in a circular, the decision taken on these
Recommendations. This information will also be published in the ITU Operational Bulletin.
Yours faithfully,
