One way these improvements could be achieved is to adopt a mechanism used by some administrations; the development of a rolling work and resource plan for ITU's next five financial years. (...) RAG could review the plan and submit their assessment on the priorities and resource provision to the next Council meeting. Council, at each mid-year meeting, would have a clear indication of the resource requirements for ITU's next financial year and improved indication of the requirements for subsequent financial years.

One way these improvements could be achieved is to adopt a mechanism used by some administrations: the development of a rolling multi-year financial and operational plan. Combining this rolling multi-year plan with the devolvement of greater responsibility to the Advisory Groups on the review of the operational plan and budget resources, could help to bridge the gap in the availability of additional resources and improve the efficiency of the process. (...) Each Advisory Group could review the plan for their Sector and submit their assessment on the priorities and resource provision to the next Council meeting.
