NOTES

CCITT Recommendation A.14 was published in Fascicle I.2 of the Blue Book. This file is an extract from the
Blue Book. While the presentation and layout of the text might be slightly different from the Blue Book version, the
contents of the file are identical to the Blue Book version and copyright conditions remain unchanged (see below).

In this Recommendation, the expression Administration is used for conciseness to indicate both a
telecommunication administration and a recognized operating agency.
Recommendation A.14
PUBLICATION OF DEFINITIONS
(Mar del Plata, 1968; Geneva, 1972, 1980)
The CCITT,
considering
(a) that revision and re-edition of a complete list of definitions cannot be done very frequently, in view of the
volume of work involved;
(b) that rapid developments in telecommunications lead to constant change in the terms used and that it is
desirable to publish approved terms and definitions with the minimum possible delay, even though these terms and
definitions have not been examined to see how they fit into the complete system of terms and definitions for
telecommunications;
(c) that it may be appropriate to be aware of the definitions developed by other international organizations
participating in the work of the CCITT,
unanimously recommends
that after each Plenary Assembly the CCITT Secretariat should gather the terms and definitions proposed by
each Study Group and approved by the Plenary Assembly. These terms and definitions should be allocated to their
Recommendation Series and published in the appropriate fascicles of the CCITT Book. In addition they should be
assembled and published in the fascicle Terms and Definitions.
The terms and definitions shall be given only in the languages of the CCITT Book.
