A UN Specialized Agency • Intergovernmental organization, governments represented through • their telecommunication Administrations (constitutional Members) • Other entities (Recognized Operating Agencies, Scientific Industrial • Organizations, regional and international organizations) admitted • as Sector members • "Basic Law" = Convention and Constitution, • to be modified by Plenipotentiary Conferences INTERNATIONAL TELECOMMUNICATION UNION (ITU)

  6. "The functions of the Telecommunication Standardization Sector shall be, bearing in mind the particular concerns of the developing countries, to fulfill the purposes of the Union relating to telecommunication standardization, as stated in Article 1 of this Constitution, by studying technical, operating and tariff Questions and adopting Recommendations on them with a view to standardizing telecommunications on a worldwide basis." Functions of ITU-T
