HOW CAN WE IMPLEMENT THE WTSA-08 OUTCOMES TO MAXIMIZE REGIONAL BENEFIT? • SOME IDEAS: • Leverage from our regional preparations for PP-10 • More ITU & APT cooperation and joint activity will: optimize efforts & resources, reduce overlaps, widen knowledge base & access to information • Think outside the square
