| An intensive preparatory process involving expert representatives from ITU membership across governments, regulators, the private sector, academia and civil society to develop draft “Opinions” in a variety of areas related to the theme of WTPF-21* ran from September 2019 to November 2021. This process resulted in the adoption of five draft Opinions, which formed the basis of discussions at the WTPF-21, along with the Secretary-General’s Report, including Opinion 5 on the use of telecommunications/ICTs in COVID-19 and future pandemic and epidemic preparedness and response. These non-prescriptive Opinions will offer guidance to ITU membership – through ongoing efforts within ITU and at a broader international level. |
