ITU editorial group structure
This page collects the guidance on ITU editorial group structure that accompanies the Metanorma ITU document attributes reference. The attributes themselves (:bureau:, :sector:, the :group:, :subgroup: and :workgroup: families, and :question:) are documented there.
Editorial groups
ITU documents are produced by editorial groups within a Bureau/Sector (BDT: ITU-D, RRB: ITU-R, TSB: ITU-T).
ITU groups are hierarchically arranged, and represented in Metanorma through a three-level encoding also used elsewhere in Metanorma: group, subgroup and workgroup below the Bureau/Sector level.
Groups have types (e.g. tsag, study-group, working-party, focus-group), and the same type of group can attach to different super-groups.
Both TSAG and Study Groups can have Focus Groups.
An ITU project group is specified using a 4 level encoding:
bureau(orsector)groupsubgroupworkgroup
There may be multiple project groups associated with a document. Each group after the first is indicated by a trailing number, e.g. bureau_2, group_2.
On top of this structure, documents can respond to Questions, which are allocated to Study Groups, and then worked on by Working Parties. Questions are represented separately, outside the group hierarchical structure.
