Resolution 71
(Marrakesh 2002) instructed the ITU Council to present to
Plenipotentiary Conference (PP-06) a proposed strategic plan for
the period 2008-2011. In
line with
Article 11, No. 74A of the ITU Constitution, the Secretary-General
is invited to supply the membership with materials to assist them
in the process of strategic planning.
According to the ITU Convention (Article
4, No. 62A) in the “last
but one ordinary session of the Council before the next
plenipotentiary conference,
[Council shall] initiate the preparation of a draft new
strategic plan for the Union, drawing upon input from Member
States, Sector Members and from the Sector advisory groups, and
produce a coordinated draft new strategic plan at least four
months before that plenipotentiary conference.” Under
the current timetable, the 2005 Council is the “last but one”
session and the draft new strategic plan,
covering the period 2008-2011, would need to be posted on the PP-06
website by June 2006. Decision 527
(C05/94) from ITU Council 2005 details the procedure for
establishing a working group for the elaboration of a draft Strategic Plan and a draft Financial Plan for consideration by Council 2006 and presentation by Council to
the Plenipotentiary Conference (PP-06).
For
reference, in
preparation for the 2004-07 Strategic Plan, Council in 2001
established by
Decision 504 an informal group on the strategic
plan, under the chairmanship of Kathleen Heceta (Philippines). The
informal group met on 7-8 March 2002 and reported to the 2002
Council (C02/33 Rev. 1), where the draft plan was
adopted with only minor changes and forwarded to PP-02. The
Plenipotentiary adopted the strategic plan as
Resolution 71. It
has 6 main goals for the Union as a whole, as well as 12 sub-goals
for the ITU-R, 18 for ITU-T, 14 for ITU-D and 16 for the General
Secretariat. ITU-R organizes its sub-goals into three priority
categories, but the other Sectors do not do so. The 2004-07
strategic plan contains 4’700 words compared with 8’900 words
for the 1999-2003 plan, reflecting the desire of the membership
for a more concise strategic plan.
The purpose of this
website is to
provide the ITU membership with all the relevant material to assist with the process of strategic planning,
including contributions from the membership, input documents from the
Sector Advisory Groups, the recommendations of the Working Group on
ITU Reform, linkages with the operational plans and the financial
plan, etc. The following sections provide more information to that has
been identified as important for the preparatory process:
