WTSA-12 Action Plan

WTSA Resolutions gave many tasks to members and ITU-T’s secretariat the Telecommunication Standardization Bureau (ITU-TSB). In order to ensure the accomplishment of these tasks, ITU-TSB has been using a WTSA Action Plan since WTSA-08​ as a tool to monitor and facilitate the implementation of WTSA outcome. 

The WTSA Action Plan contains two files: a WINWORD report​ records the implementation progress and an EXCEL sheet​ details the actions, their associated responsibilities, necessary collaborations, reporting mechanisms and implementation status in a table. 

It is a living document set updated periodically by ITU-TSB. It was last updated on September 2016.
