The global ICT regulatory landscape is undergoing profound changes, changes which Chinese regulators are monitoring closely. To better understand the current trends, at this meeting, we will invite the EU Delegation and Bruce Fu, APCO Worldwide to give an update on ICT regulatory developments in the EU and the US respectively, followed by discussion. The ICT Working Group will also take this opportunity to review its 2017 activities, discuss the 2018 action plan, and come up with its 2018/2019 Position Paper outline. As always, we encourage as many of our members as possible to attend to have their say in the leadership and agenda of the working group in the year ahead.
