warning
- Proposed actions
- Encourage different PSOs to develop EW/TDR
standards for the systems under their
responsibility - In ITU-T encourage and stimulate contributions
to the different ITU-T SGs - Improve cooperation and coordination among the
PSOs, in particular through participation to the
PCP-TDR - Contribute to the 2nd Workshop on EW/TDR(19-20
