• 1. The Islamic Republic of Iran decided to join the consensus on the revised Resolution 102, as it entails, to a fairly acceptable extent, the opportunity for all governments to exercise their sovereign right over international public policy issues related to the Internet. The Resolution can further assist all governments to seek ways and means of playing their role, on an equal footing, in the area of public policies related to the governance of the Internet's critical resources. This partly reflects the wish of the international community expressed in the WSIS final documents and augurs well for the future of our work in such areas.

• 2. The Tunis Agenda, among others, provides that a process of enhanced cooperation to be started by the UN Secretary-General by the end of the first quarter of 2006, as well as by relevant organizations “to enable governments on an equal footing, to carry out their roles and responsibilities, in international public policy issues pertaining to the Internet”.

• 3. We are glad to note that paragraph 4 of Resolution 102 (Rev. Antalya, 2006), under “resolves to instruct the Secretary-General”, instructs the ITU Secretary-General to take the necessary steps for ITU to play an active and constructive role in the UNSG's process towards enhanced cooperation. Preparations on the ITU's part depends to a great extent on the UN Secretary-General's much-anticipated decision on commencing the required process or any report by him on steps taken towards that direction.

• 4. What in particular convinces us concerning the current resolution is the fact that it recognizes that ITU should commence a process towards enhanced cooperation. The resolution, more importantly, envisages the concrete necessary steps that should be taken within the ITU towards that end.

• 5. The above activities, to our mind are among the priority areas in the work of the ITU in the period leading to the next plenipotentiary conference. We wish to flag that we anticipate necessary resources to be allocated to these activity areas of high importance.
