The ITU Plenipotentiary Conference 2006 took
place from Monday, 6 November to Friday, 24 November 2006 at the Sungate Port
Royal Hotel in Antalya, Turkey.
The Plenipotentiary Conference is the
top policy-making body of the International Telecommunication Union
(ITU).
Held every four years, the Conference sets the Union's general policies,
adopts four-year strategic and financial plans and elects the senior management
team of the organization, the members of
Council and the members of the
Radio Regulations Board. In other words,
it is the key event at which ITU Member States decide on the future role of
the organization, thereby determining the organization's ability to
influence and affect the development of Information and communication
technologies (ICT) worldwide.
Sector members (recognized
operating agencies, scientific or industrial organizations and financial or
development institutions and organizations of an international character
representing them) can also attend the Conference as observers.
