Abstract :

ITU's TIES email service was created in the 1990s to facilitate the work of delegates, at a time when alternatives were not available. As various alternative (mostly free) services have been introduced in the market, the number of TIES email users has dropped significantly. If the service is to continue, investments are needed to bring it up to today's security and user interface standards. This is difficult to justify given the low number of users.
