A workshop will be held
from 10.00 to 17.00 on 18 June 2012
at ITU Headquarters in Geneva, to
review the status of Sector
Membership and potential reforms.
This workshop will take place
during a week of various Council
Working Group meetings. The outcomes
will provide ideas and support the
development of recommendations that
can be considered by Council 2012.
Background
The 2010 Plenipotentiary Conference
(PP-10) asked Council to review the
present approach to Sector
Membership, including the
possibility of changes in areas such
as the fee structure and membership
categories, with a view to enhancing
the benefits for Sector Members and
Associates. PP-10 also established a
new category of participation in ITU
for Academia and asked Council to
consider further refinements of this
new category. In addition, PP-10
revised fee payment provisions and
approved new reduced membership fees
for organizations from countries
with low incomes to participate in
ITU-R and ITU-T activities.
The Council meeting of 2011 asked
the Council Working Group on Human
and Financial Resources (CWG-HR/FIN)
to consider these issues further and
report back. This workshop is being organized following a
recommendation of the last CWG-HR/FIN
to reach out to the membership to
gather ideas and proposals.
Chairmanship
The workshop will be
chaired by the Chairman of the
Council Working Group on Human and
Financial Resources, Mr Bruce
Gracie, Canada.
Participation
This workshop is open to all
Member States, Sector Members and
Associates. The proceedings will be
available via webcast. Remote
participation will also be
available.
Registration for onsite and online
participation can be done at

Contributions
Members are encouraged to submit
written contributions and
participate in this workshop.
