Abstract :
|
As part of the preparatory process for the 2021 World Telecommunication Development Conference (WTDC-21), TDAG recommended 2-3 Inter-Regional Meetings to foster inter-regional discussions and identify common positions and agreement on key issues ahead of the WTDC-21. The key objective of these IRMs is to strengthen the preparatory process, which will focus on defining regional priorities and initiatives, revising or drafting resolutions, addressing study groups and study Questions related matters and developing guidelines and text for the Declaration. Discussions during the IRMs will build on the results of the Regional Preparatory Meetings (RPMs) and on the work of the TDAG Working Group on Resolutions, Declaration and Thematic Priorities (TDAG-WG-RDTP). IRMs will further help make WTDC-21 an action-oriented conference to develop a shared understanding of existing barriers and advancing effective, sustainable and innovative solutions for the expansion of meaningful connectivity for everyone, everywhere.
In line with the TDAG recommendation, three Inter-regional Meetings were scheduled to be held between March and September 2021. This document reports on the key outcomes of the first IRM, held on 11 March 2021.
