The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the United Arab Emirates has the
honor to inform the Embassy that the UAE has decided to re-nominate
[itself] for International Telecommunication Union (ITU) membership
for the period 2010-2014 and to nominate Engineer Nasser Abdullatif
bin Hammad, Senior Manager for International Affairs at the
Telecommunications Regulatory Authority (TRA) for Radio Regulations
Board membership for the period of 2010 - 2014. The voting will
take place during the International Telecommunication Union
