  36. Encourage more Sector Members (service providers) from Arab Region to participate in the technical SG activities (Sector Members fee: 20, 000 US$, Associate fee: 6, 000 US$ • Change mentality and policy •  under market-driven principles - market in Arab region + Arabs manage their own markets •  Arabs have expertise •  From your contacts with top-level worldwide experts in the SG activities, to learn new trends of technology development, to defend your own interests, to gain confidence and to contribute to the global telecom standardization with Arab values. Arab participation in ITU-T

  37. Problems: limited financial resources, and no fellowships available for technical SGs • Solution: •  Regional cooperation •  Sharing responsibility on subjects among countries and • representing the regional/groups at the ITU-T meetings •  E-mail consultation: • - free ITU TIES accounts for ITU Members • - free electronic access to ITU Recommendations for ITU Members •  Contact TSB directly or through regional organizations •  ITU-T strengthens its presence in Arab region by organizing meetings in the region • SEE YOU MORE AND MORE in ITU-T! ************ Arab participation in ITU-T
