17.1 Between two WTDCs, Member States, Sector Members, and duly authorized entities and organizations participating in ITU-D activities may submit proposed new and revised Questions to the study group concerned.
17.2 Each proposed new and revised Question should be based on the template/outline referred to in § ‎15.3 above.
