Abstract :

This report is submitted at the request of the Chair of the Council Working Group on financial and human resources (CWG-FHR) following the presentation of an initial document on business continuity modalities for ITU meetings during the construction period of the new Varembé building in 2028 (and potentially in 2029) at the twentieth meeting of CWG-FHR (Document CWG-FHR-20/9).
At that meeting, further information was requested on all available options, including a mapping of ITU meetings in terms of modality and the feasibility of using the conference facilities of other international organizations in Geneva (Document CWG-FHR-20/32). This report aims to enable the Council to provide clear guidance for the way forward on business continuity for meetings, including the acceptability of different modalities, noting that the Palexpo option requires financial commitment by the end of 2025.
