scope:

Well-documented rules and procedures, including the legal aspects, are useful for electronic meetings of ITU-T groups. ITU-T groups include, but are not limited to, Telecommunication Standardization Advisory Group (TSAG), study groups, working parties, Questions or Rapporteur groups, focus groups, Joint Coordination Activities (JCAs), correspondence groups, ad hoc groups and regional groups.

NOTE 1 -The rights of remote participants are not covered in this Supplement.

Meetings of ITU-T groups may be conducted in the following formats:

• physical meetings (face-to-face);

• physical meetings with remote observation (i.e., webcast);

• physical meetings with remote participation;

• e-meetings, also called virtual meetings.

NOTE 2 - The first two formats are not covered by this Supplement.

The same format may not apply to all sessions of a given meeting. This Supplement provides guidelines for physical meetings with remote participation and e-meetings. The meeting format (see clause 6.4) to be used for any given meeting or meeting session is beyond the scope of this Supplement.
