<br>
</p>
<p style="font-size:9pt; margin-top:5pt; margin-bottom:5pt; line-height:12pt">At its session in 2012, the Council agreed that all relevant stakeholders should participate in the work of the IEG so as to contribute their unique perspective to the preparatory
process, based on the roles and responsibilities that the stakeholders may have under Paragraph 35 of the Tunis Agenda (2005). Consequently, participation in the work of the IEG will be open to stakeholders in accordance with Council decision, taking into
account Decision 562 and the need to maintain a balanced group of experts, and also room and seating capacity for IEG meetings at ITU headquarters in Geneva. Relevant stakeholders are invited to express their interest in participating in the work of the IEG
