Background

• Objectives of RA-07
• Review working methods and procedures,
  particularly of the ITU-R Study Groups
• new and revised ITU-R Resolutions
• Establish SG work programme for next study period
• ITU-R Questions
• Establish structure of Study Groups
• Elect Chairmen and Vice-Chairmen of SGs, CPM, SC
  and RAG
• Approve ITU-R Recommendations (in practice, by
  exception)
• revisions to Recommendations on IMT-2000

Results of RA-07 (2)

• RA-07 new or revised Resolutions
• of particular interest to GSC
• ITU-R 56 Naming for International Mobile
  telecommunications
• ITU-R 57 Principles for the process of
  development of IMT-Advanced
• ITU-R 53 The use of radiocommunications in
  disaster response and relief
• ITU-R 55 ITU-R studies of disaster prediction,
  detection, mitigation and relief
• ITU-R 54 Studies to achieve harmonization for
  short-range radiocommunication devices (SRDs)

Challenges following RA-07

• Initiation of new study period with new Study
  Group structure
• Establishment of new Working Parties (and their
  Chairmen)
• particularly for SGs 4, 5 and 6
• Initiation of preparatory studies for WRC-11
• CPM11-1 held 19-20 November 2007
• Results published in Administrative Circular
  CA/171 (20 Dec. 07)

Next Steps/Actions

• IMT
• see separate presentation on ITU-R Activities in
  IMT
• Emergency communications and disaster relief
• see separate presentation on ITU Activities for
  Emergency Communications and Disaster Relief
• SRDs
• studies to enable implementation of advanced
  technologies for SRDs
• collect information on SRDs that use advanced
  spectrum access and frequency tuning range
  techniques
• to facilitate the use of relevant frequency bands
  and/or tuning ranges, preferably on a global or
  regional basis, suitable for SRDs
• note also Resolution 953 (WRC-07) on Protection
  of radiocommunication services from emissions by
  SRDs
• WP 1A main group involved
