Informal Group

GMPCS-MoU

Geneva, 14 February 1997

Comments of Australia on the Memorandum of Understanding

Australia does not intend to provide any comments, as we feel that any outstanding issues can be sorted out in the MoU Group itself, and comments would only delay the process.

I would appreciate it if you could let me know whether many comments are coming in, and hence delaying the initial meeting of the MoU Group.

We were pleased with the Policy Forum and think it reflects well on those involved in the Secretariat. The Forum marks the end of my involvement in ITU activities as I have decided to finish work with the Department on 7 January 1997.

I was pleased to meet you personally (if somewhat briefly) in Geneva - Best wishes.
