Once WTSA is held in 2022, when will be the subsequent WTSA?
WTSA would go back to its initial four-year cycle and the next WTSA would be held in 2024.
What is the designation of this and next study period?
TSAG-TD1015 (2021-01) Current and next Study Period designation: Historical data concerning identification of the study period (SP) ranges points to designating the current study period (SP16) planned to end 9 March 2022 as 2016-2021; and the next study period (SP17) planned to end in the 2nd half of 2024 as 2022-2024. Despite 2017-2021 being now the official year range for SP16, for best business continuity, documentation will continue to bear the range 2017-2020, and existing IT resources (e.g., URLs) will continue to use the same SP range until the end of SP16.
Will remote participation be made available to all meetings: Plenary, Committee, ad-hoc groups, drafting groups, etc.?
Yes, ITU will provide remote participation facilities to all meetings, with the understanding that there is a finite number of parallel sessions limited by the number of physical meeting rooms that are enabled to provide remote participation.
Who can participate in decision making?
As WTSA is a physical meeting, decisions will be taken by delegates physically present in the Plenary meeting.
