Hello, Dear Protocol Council Members, Further to the approved minutes, I'm forwarding you the ITU-T Study Group 2 conclusion on the alternative roots issue, which was reached at their Meeting (Geneva, 4-14 September 2001): "Study Group 2 has noted the PSO statement and has no objections to it. However, Study Group 2 notes that there may be other issues in addition to technical reasons such as administrative and national sovereignty considerations." Best regards, Vladimir
