Members of the ITU Council elected
The Plenipotentiary Conference was tasked to elect the 46 Member States
called to sit on the ITU Council to represent the membership in the interval
between Plenipotentiary Conferences. The role of the Council is to consider, in
the interval between plenipotentiary conferences, broad telecommunication policy
issues to ensure that the Union's activities, policies and strategies fully
respond to today's dynamic, rapidly changing telecommunication environment. It
also prepares a report on ITU policy and strategic planning. In addition, the
Council is responsible for ensuring the smooth day-to-day running of the Union,
coordinating work programmes, approving budgets and controlling finances and
expenditure.
