Agreement remains elusive on many topics, despite the clock counting down. The latest is:-<\/p>\n<p><strong>AI-1.1 for 50 MHz<\/strong> is held up by a hitch that caused it to miss its first plenary slot on Wednesday. Given the hold ups on other items that will cause time pressure next week, missing this Week-3 opportunity was somewhat disappointing.<\/p>\n<p><strong>AI-1.15 for &gt;275 GHz<\/strong> on the other hand was luckier and reached its first plenary reading. The solution aligns well with CEPT and amateur interests. There will be a new footnote for fixed and mobile applications, but it leaves other applications under RR5.565 unimpeded (though there is a proposal for more applications under AI-10).<\/p>\n<p><strong>AI-10 Future Agenda Items<\/strong>: Working Group 6B is gradually assembling a long list of over 30 proposals for Committee 6 (COM6) to consider. However with time ticking away, various approaches are being suggested to whittle them down to a number that both administrations can be comfortable with &#8211; \u00a0and the ITU-R process and its <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.itu.int\/en\/ITU-R\/study-groups\/Pages\/default.aspx\">Study Groups<\/a><\/strong> can realistically resource, in the run up to WRC-23 (and some preliminary items for WRC-27).<\/p>\n<p>The prime concern is with the 23cm\/Galileo proposal, but there are others which may be of concern across the spectrum, from HF to &gt;275GHz. As noted in the IARU position, no new amateur bands are being proposed for WRC-23; rather the emphasis is on spectrum defence.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WRC-19 like any major international conference has news and media associated with it.
