Dear experts,

Yesterday, October 2, was the deadline that the Q1 and Q2 Rapporteurs set to make a final decision on having or not having a Q1 and a Q2 Rapporteur meeting in November in Seoul.

We have not received additional indication for proposed contributions and we received some responses in favour of progressing our work by correspondence. As you 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. These criteria ensure the successful progress of our work. Unfortunately, this is not the case for either Q1 or Q2 this time.

Therefore, we regretfully have to announce that there will be NO meetings of Q1/16 and Q2/16 in Seoul. Our next meeting will be in February 2015 in Geneva. Please note that this cancellation only concerns Q1/16 and Q2/16!

In the interim, we encourage everyone to progress work by e-mail correspondence in order to have a fruitful SG16 meeting in February 2015.

Best regards,

Patrick Luthi, Rapporteur for Q1/16

Paul Jones, Rapporteur for Q2/16
