• Sector Member contribution is based on
  cost-recovery, not relayed to their duties and
  responsibilities. It is voluntary, but for ITU-T,
  a minimum of ½ unit is required.
• Sector Member contribution unit price is 1/5 of
  the Member States unit
• prices, currently, about 40,000 US . But for
  ITU-T, minimum ½ unit i.e. 20,000 US.
• Before 2000, the majority paid a minimum of ½
  unit with exception of
• 35 cases 9x3 units, 1x1½ units, 4x2 units, 1x1½
  unit, and 20x1 units.
• In 2001 17 out of 35 reduced their contributions
  (mainly from 3 or 2 units
• to ½ or 1 unit), a total reduction of 23 units
  was counted. (Some of them weredue to merging or
  splitting of companies.)
• In 2003 1 (ROA) x 2 units (1 ROA 1 SIO) x 1.5
  units (4(ROAs) 8 SIOs) x 1 unit.The rest pay
  ½ unit.
• 6. Some companies pay multi-memberships.

• TSAG Re-structuring Group 7-9 October 2003,
  Paris, France
• By July 2003 160 inputs 100
  registered participants (no developing
  countries, new players)
• TSAG meeting 10-14 November 2003 -
  Provisional agreement on new structure
• TSAG meeting 21-25 June 2004 - Finalize the
  proposal

Future TSAG meetings
31

• Working methods
• AAP TAP no major changes
• However, there may be new issues if the new
  structure is dramatically different from the
  current one
• EDH should be further strengthened
• Workshops and seminars become an important part
  of regular activities (workshops are not only
  informative to audience but also very
  constructive and useful to SGs)
• Find ways to accept options, if no unanimous
  agreement on Recommendations
• Enhance the regional presence, and encourage
  regional activities
• Establish Groups (focus group, project group,
  etc) to deal with urgent needs

My expectations for WTSA-2004
32

• Structure considerations
• Constructive proposals and considerations by
  ITU-T Members
• In addition
• We have to bear in mind the needs of the new
  comers, including those who have recently
  increased their participation in ITU-T activities
• The needs for the future
• The needs of the regions
• The needs expected from external SDOs, etc

My expectations of WTSA-2004
33
Cooperation with SDOs - More flexibility to
work with Forums/SDOs - Facilitate the adoption
of SDOs outputs as ITU-T Recommendations -
To establish joint groups with forums if
justified Promotion - More aggressive - To
address potential members new players,
universities, academic institutions
My expectations for WTSA-2004
34
Financial - Encourage voluntary contributions -
Reduced fee for universities, or meeting
registration fees for universities -
etc Last but not least - Entrust TSAG with
more authority - Request TSAG to be more
efficient
