[Chapter-delegates] [For Review] ISOC WTSA-20 Background Paper

[Richard Hill]

Thanks for this.

 

I have not been following WTSA preparations in detail this year. From what I know, the summary you present covers the issues well.

 

I have only a very minor comment. At the end of the section “The World Telecommunications Standardization Assembly” you say: “During a WTSA, a Recommendation that has not reached consensus in the Study Groups can be proposed for adoption by majority vote of Member States.”

 

That is correct, but incomplete. I would suggest to replace with: “During a WTSA, a Recommendation that has been determined, but not approved because there was insufficient time for approval before WTSA, can be proposed for approval by consensus at WTSA; in addition, a Recommendation that has not reached consensus in the Study Groups can be proposed for adoption by majority vote of Member States (in practice, the vote rarely takes place because it is obvious which way it will go, so the Recommendation is approved without a formal vote).”

 

Best,

Richard
