New services will be standardized as needed by partners willing to take risks of testing new business concepts. As ITU finds such a service mature and accepted by the market, ITU then picks it up and adapts it to the existing fundamental infrastructure by new or enhanced recommendations.

Each ITU-T member, irrespective of category, has one vote in ITU-T. ITU-T is promoting the global economy with overall standardization frameworks and recommendations. Competing standardization efforts are a result of market dynamics. * Competing standardization efforts must be allowed to exist within ITU-T. * Standardization efforts driven by special interest groups outside ITU-T shall be allowed to join or co-operate with ITU-T without loss of momentum or change of procedures. When creating a ITU-T project, the scope, the approval procedures and the deliverables for the ITU-T project are defined by the project members. The ITU-T secretariat acts as an efficient administrative host and as a publishing house for the ITU-T projects.
