 Good afternoon, Shuri. First of all, let me take this opportunity to congratulate you on your appointment as chairman of Study Group 2. Thank you very much. Study Group 2 is best known for numbering and which has become a critical resource for international filing. It's also becoming more important for businesses around the world. I was wondering if you could give us an update on the numbering activity of Study Group 2 and how that fits into today's telecoms environment, but also the wider business environment? Yes, Study Group 2 is highly involved in the numbering, namely addressing and addressing official resources. In Study Group 2, the consideration of the assignment of the reclamation and reservation of the numbering resources is very important for the running of the telecom communications. To communicate, you must have a country code so that you can use other countries and communicate to other users all over the world. Also, new sources are introduced recently and this requires new numbering resources and this can give innovation to new sources. In the last Study Group period, I know that there were some new numbering assignments in one new country. Could you tell us about that? Yes, there was a numbering assignment for the United Nations Office of Commission for Humanitarian Affairs. This allows the United Nations agencies in this field to operate all over the world, to come into the country and take part of the numbering resources under the 888 number. And can communicate because you have access and you can do humanitarian activities. So this will be very flexible and allow you to take immediate actions in case of disaster or in case of disaster situations. It's clearly very important for this aspect for emergency telecommunications and it highlights that as Study Group 2 is not just allocating the numbers like 33 for France and 41 for Switzerland, but also in a wider humanitarian sense, it's clearly very important. And also now I understand that these codes can be allocated to businesses as well. Is that something that's happened in the last study period or something that you expect to be happening more in the coming study period? You know, I think that the Times-Parish period are discussing applications from several business entities requesting international codes. One of the most interesting application is the Worldwide Educational Network where they request numbering codes. What you call country code, but this international number that can be used in a lot of the world and allow researchers and students to join universities and make collaborative work in the educational area and in the resource area. This is very interesting application I'm looking at currently. Yes, much more than just the country code. Is it a very complicated process to have an international number like this approved or is it quite straightforward? Could you say a little bit about that? In this entire study group, there is what is called a number coordination team. It's from the leaders of the study group too. And it is such application for numbering resources. And they are granted according to very well-defined rules based on the actual recommendations. We usually ask the applicators to come to the interview and discuss their requests and see how far they are reasonable to get these numbers. We help them as we need in consultation and accordingly they are granted these numbers. And I think it's just this and that. Two days ago, we had a meeting with one of the applicants that we experienced these years and submitted some explanations. And most likely, we'll get the code very recently to run these requests. It's relatively straightforward for something that seems quite complicated. That's very good news, I'm sure, for business. One thing I know that was a big topic in Dubai last year was the misuse of numbering. And I know that this is a very big issue for some developing countries. So I was wondering if you could say a little bit about study group 2's role in that area. The misuse issue at Long History and the study group 2. It was discussed several years ago because of some reported cases. And we had the recommendation, 1E156, which deals with procedures to report on misuse issues. And for several years, all the 15 cases was reported to that view. Only last year, Xi Xi mean has put to the attention of study group 2 more than 104 cases in one month only. So this was like a storming issue regarding highlighting the misuse issue. We all know that there is the misuse that I'm everywhere. But reporting was not as such. So thanks to Xi Xi mean that we report to these cases, which make a lot less about the importance of this issue. And accordingly, there was some work in the regions who submitted their contributions to the Dutch DCA and to Dutch Wicked conferences. And accordingly, there was resolutions and articles in the ITR treaty addressing this issue. The issue has been revived once more in the larger scale. And the old world now is aware of the issues of misuse and its importance. Simply misuse is about like hijacking numbers from one country to the other. So the revenues come to one country. And not going to the country that has these numbering resources. Also, it's like a delivery market in this area where it has to run not in the proper way. It's usually associated also with non-delivery of calling flight number. And one of Dutch don't know who's calling him. Even if you are only going to say to answer, not answer, depending on the importance of the code. If you don't have the number, you cannot answer. But it's a personal impact. But on the business impact, if the number is spoofed or not delivered, the account in which it is sometimes are subject to fraud. So this way, now it will come into the surface and will be a study item for study group 2 in collaboration with ITU study group 3 who is concerned with financial issue and economic impact. It's clear that this was an issue for developing countries in particular. And I know that study group 2 is making some great effort to involve more developing countries in its work. Perhaps you could give us an idea of how you expect that to go about doing that. Yes, because of how you make expenses to statistics and observation, we see that most of the numbers we choose are belonging to developing countries. So this gives us an idea of how things are running. So developed countries have to be aware now, and we are trying to characterize how such issues are coming. And fortunately, we have now created for study group 2 3 regional groups for study group 2 in 3 regions. One is Arab region, that's why the first, the second in Africa, and the third just recently established after WDCE in the Americas. This recent group tried to invite more developed countries to participate in ITU work, what you call it, climbs the standard position level, and to collaborate with the work and provide what you call it, the consolidated contributions from its users, which helped them get involved and resolved their particular interests. So that's the running background in study group 2, and as a study group we do it as well. That's excellent news. I know that there are many issues with study group 2 covers, but I'll just pick up on two before we wrap up. One is that I know that study group 2 is looking at human factors and accessibility, and the other one that I think is perhaps worth mentioning, you touched on it with emergency telecoms. There is some other work around emergency telecoms with the allocation of a code that you can include within your mobile phone to indicate the emergency services, the number that they would wish to be called in the event of an emergency. So perhaps you could tell us if there is any more work, or what else is going on in that direction. One of the areas that study group 2 is working in, for example, the example I have said about emergency numbers, that is somebody who has some... comes a point around this medical accident or so, and somebody finds the body with him, but not to whom he can talk. If you can look at the directory and find the first number, like the emergency number to whom you can call, you can address it because his wife is a doctor or so. This should be standardized, or maybe should be included in the set as a special button or a special entry. That's the direct person when it will address the right person, like your wife, son, doctor, or emergency service. This is the recommendation that is underdeveloped right now. We also have to mention that the study group 2 had another party dealing with network management. It's a very important activity that actually the study group 2 is working in. How the network manager is doing the failure and network health can be recovered. The resilience and robustness of networks and security of the management system is a very important issue that you have worked in party 2 with. The network in party 2 is associated with what is known as SNO, Service and Network Operations Group. It's a group of manufacturers, very big manufacturers from all over the world. They're concerned with network management and they report to work in party 2 as they exchange information and put some guidelines for network management so that the network management systems from all over the world can communicate and can take care of the network resilience to support the users. You can see that. But on the scene, there is much work running to ensure the robustness of networks and continue to operation. Yes, and again, this is a very important issue. Those requirements to be captured and to be fed to the software developers that are making this software and the network management software. Okay, well, I think that that wraps it up for me. I don't know if there's any more that you want to tell us about Study Group 2. I think we've done quite a good job of covering a wide range. Is there anything we missed, do you think? Yes, we missed and it's slightly, but this is very important. Accessibility. Accessibility. The human factor is concerned of how people access the set and how they can access communications. If you have a set which has different signs between manufacturers, if the letters are not very clear, if the person is not clear, even for a proper person, he cannot even make communication easily. I remember sometimes we travel in some countries, sometimes when it ends, we try to make telephone calls from a different set. You cannot even know what's written if it's different languages. But if you like, in the fight of standard science, then you can blindly know how to dial your country. I think most of us need to have some situation. But more importantly, it's the people of special needs and disabilities and elderly. You need special care, how can you communicate? Special devices must have some sort or maybe special devices in manufacturers such as people who need that. They are not you. There are some hundred million people having such... Yes. And as we live longer, as we live longer... Other times it's so... for the elderly, everyone, hopefully it's for everybody. So we must have some sort of care to be taken care of so that we can make communication easy. Yes. And even if the stress must have some sort of clear... I mean, I have to call his doctor or make it clear to anybody. It's like I have done just now about the sets having some entry for emergency situations. So I think that's very important. And this has been I've defined very clearly in the WCIC, in terms of international communication and put as a new article in the RTR 3C That's right. with obligatory to our members to respond. So this signifies the importance and interests of RTU to take care of the disabled people and the people special needs and everything. Yeah, and it's not just people that we're traditionally thinking of as disabled, but we all become as we become older, the population becomes older, it becomes worse, and I hear it becomes worse. Maybe I'm just speaking for myself. Oh my God, speak for myself also. Thank you very much. And again, congratulations on your appointment. Thank you very much. Thank you. Thank you very much.
