Resolutions at the WTDC-06, Doha“Bridging Standardization Gap”
ITU-D activities related to “Bridging the Standardization Gap”, were carried out, according to Resolution 47 of WTDC-06, Doha.These are in close cooperation with ITU-T implementing Resolution 123 (Rev. Antalya, 2006) of PP-06 and Resolution 44 of WTSA-04
16
Resolution 47, WTDC-06Engage in activities to enhance knowledge and effective application of ITU-T and ITU-R Recommendations in developing countries
Introduce best-practice application of ITU-T and ITU-R Recommendations, in fibre-optic transmission technology, broadband network technology and information security, by organizing training courses and workshops especially for developing countries
ITU-D in collaboration with ITU-T and ITU-R to:
Promote participation in training courses and workshops on best-practice application of ITU-T and ITU-R Recommendations for developing countries;
Establish a database containing information on new technologies that are standardized and develop guidelines on applying ITU-T and ITU-R Recommendations
