ITU Plenipotentiary 2014 – Issues Matrix as of 16 October 2014
This chart represents a preliminary effort at identifying issues, areas of concern, organizations impacted, etc., on a best-efforts basis.
Suggestions to improve this work are welcome. Note the proposals cited are not yet agreed, but have been put forward for the most part
by ITU Member States.
The Internet Society has analyzed proposed revisions to the ITU Plenipotentiary conference with the aim of helping ISOC Members
identify those proposals that may impact the future development of the Internet, including the Internet model and the organizations that
have co-operated to create what we know today as the Internet. This matrix is intended to assist ISOC Members in preparing for PP-14.

delivery of international calling line
identification (CLI), origin identification
(OI) and details to support charging per

changed over time and that offering
alternative call procedures should be in
compliance with the regulatory and legal

(Guadalajara, 2010)
Creation and Management of Council
Working Groups
APT: proposed that CWGs be combined if
possible, no proposals on revising the
makeup of WGs
USA: supports opening up the CWGs to
all Member States and Sector Members as
well as to provide for active and full
support of all interested stakeholders in
the discussions and contributions of all
WGs addressing international internetrelated public policy.
CEPT: proposed modifications that all
working groups shall be open to all
Member States and Sector Members; and
that working groups dealing with Internetrelated issues shall be open to all
interested stakeholders.
UAE: modification to address ITU
Telecom events, focus of proposal is on
requirements for host country

Policy, participation is currently limited to Member States
only, which excludes the Internet Community.

Free online access to ITU Publications
ATU-69: Supports free online access to
ITRs, Radio regulations, Council
decisions and for disaster relief
publications
RCC: supports continuing the current free
online access under a permanent
arrangement to instruments of the Union,
administrative regulations, rules of
procedure and other materials currently
provided under the trial arrangement
This is part of the push for more transparency as well as
unrestricted access to ITU materials by non-ITU Sector
Members, however this does not include TIES restricted
working materials. Budgetary implications for ITU.
New Decision on access to ITU

From ITU SG –
Report on the work carried out by the
Correspondence Group on the
Elaboration of a working definition of the
term ”ICT”
Background on the work carried out to
develop and agree (by TDAG) on the
proposed working definition of ICT as the
following:
Technologies and equipment that
handle (e.g., access, create, collect,
store, transmit, receive, disseminate)
information and communication.
As Council was unable to come to
agreement on the working definition that
was proposed, this report is being sent to
PP for consideration.

Internet Impacts
Definitions is a key topic for Plenipot
There were two items of note from the Contribution for
consideration of a an ICT definition that will come up
again at PP:
• The objective of the definition of ICT is confined to
the use in the recommendations and resolutions of
each ITU sector and it is envisioned that single agreed
definition should cover the scope of the entire ITU
activities related to ICT.
• The terms “telecommunications/ICT” or
“telecommunication/ICT services” are widely used in
the Resolutions of the Plenipotentiary Conference and
in Resolutions of WTSAs and WTDCs. The use of the
working definition of ICT in such scenario requires
further analysis.
