In a letter attached to the certificate, the ITU thanks Sergo Shavgulidze for his important contribution as Vice-Chairman of Study Group 5 of the International Telecommunication Union’s Radiocommunication Sector (ITU-R SG5). 

Professor Shavgulidze was elected as Vice-Chairman of ITU-R SG5 for a full 8-year term in 2015. ITU-R study groups are formed at the World Radiocommunication Assembly and operate during the period between assemblies. Their purpose is to devise draft recommendations that are subsequently reviewed and approved by ITU member countries. The ITU-R SG5 is tasked with studying terrestrial services, and more specifically the systems and networks for fixed, mobile, radiodetermination, amateur and amateur-satellite services.
