Dear Mr. Sun,

Thank you for your message and for sharing your plans to submit contributions to progress the work of Q.1.

So far, your contributions are the first ones that have been offered for this upcoming meeting. I am waiting until April 7, as I said in my e-mail, to see how many contributions are coming, and how many different member organizations plan to send representatives.

As you may already know, under the ITU-T rules, we must have a significant number of both contributions and member organizations wanting to attend in order to justify an interim experts meeting. The reason for this is to ensure that the result of such meeting represents a true consensus of interested ITU-T members.

In the past, Q.1 has rarely held interim Rapporteur meetings (despite tentative plans at SG meetings) because of the absence of a substantial number of contributions; there were only 2 such meetings in the last 4 years and most of the work has been done during the SG meetings. If we do not meet in Beijing, the work of Q.1 will progress by e-mail correspondence, and you will have an opportunity to present your contributions both on the e-mail reflector (at any time of your choosing) and at the next meeting of Q.1 (at latest during the November meeting of SG16 in Geneva).

I very much hope that there will be enough contributions and attendees to hold a meeting in Beijing. We will know by April 7. I was personally hoping to visit Beijing for the meeting.

I will keep you and the other Q.1 experts informed about the result and the final decision as soon as possible after April 7.

I am looking forward to collaborating with you and would like to thank you for your continuing interest in Q.1 matters.

Best regards,

Patrick Luthi Rapporteur for Q.1/16

Dear Mr. Luthi,

During January SG16 meeting, ZTE Corp. made two contributions about the use of HSD for the second video stream and a new digital channel aggregation procedure. I would like to provide some papers to further describe and discuss these two contributins during this Rapportuer meeting.

So, a Rapporteur meeting of Q.1 is necessary in Beijing during the week of May 11-14, 2004. I hope to meet every expert of Q.1 in Beijing.

All of you are welcome to China, a beautiful oriental country.

Best regards,

Sun Zhibin

Dear experts,

Q.D.F,G, 2-5/16 are planning to have a Rapporteur meeting in Beijing, China during the week of May 11-14, 2004.

Q.1 had tentatively planned to hold interim meetings if needed before the November SG16 meeting, but, since I have not heard of any potential contributions or interest from experts to attend such meeting, I would like to announce that Q.1 will not meet at this time. Nevertheless, there will be other opportunities for Q.1 to meet later this year.

Please let me know by April 7, 2004 if you believe that there is a need for Q.1 to hold a Rapporteur meeting in May. After that deadline, I will inform the SG16 management and the TSB that Q.1 will not be meeting.

Best regards,

Patrick Luthi Rapporteur for Q.1/16
