ITU Plenipotentiary Conference

Overview
The ITU Plenipotentiary Conference is the top policy-making body of the International Telecommunication Union (ITU). The conference is held every four years. It sets the ITU's general policies, adopts four-year strategic and financial plans, and elects the senior management team of the organization, the members of Council and the members of the Radio Regulations Board. It is the key event at which ITU Member States decide on the future role of the organization, and determine the ITU's position on issues such as convergence, telephone tariffs, the Internet, universal service and electronic commerce.

The most recent ordinary Plenipotentiary Conference was held in Veracruz, Mexico on October 4-22, 2010.
