Ans: Any NWG member can identify the related Questions in ITU-T Study Group and has to present the draft contribution in NWG meetings. After discussion in NWG, the contribution will be finalised as per ITU template and subsequently only after due approval of competent authority the contribution will be submitted to ITU in respective Study Group meetings. The contribution will then be treated as an Indian contribution.
