to review the world radiocommunication conference
process to ensure that it is effective and efficient, that the
agendas developed do not unduly burden Member States and Sector
Members and consequently burden secretariat resources, and that the
intervals between conferences are appropriate; |
|
to accommodate the global and regional spectrum
requirements of innovative services that will provide communication
and information services "any time, any place"
(e.g. GMPCS, IMT-2000 and high altitude platform stations, all
of which include innovative terrestrial and space applications), by
the appropriate consideration of such matters at WRCs and by issuing
appropriate Recommendations to facilitate their development and
implementation; |
|
to study and apply, as appropriate, improved
international spectrum management techniques; |
|
to facilitate timely coordination between new and
existing active and passive systems in both space and terrestrial
environments and to develop spectrum regulation initiatives to
better harmonize frequency allocations and the use of satellite
orbits, while continuing work to improve the frequency coordination
and planning process for satellite networks; |
|
to expand the assistance offered to Member States in
coordinating and registering frequency assignments and in applying
the Radio Regulations, with special attention to developing
countries and Member States that have recently joined the Union; |

to provide assistance to the Telecommunication
Development Bureau (BDT) for the introduction of modern radio
systems in developing countries, particularly in rural areas,
conduct information meetings and world and regional seminars and
give assistance to Member States, with special attention to
developing countries, e.g. through the development of handbooks; |
|
in improving the working methods of the Sector, to
strive for: |
|
- greater use of user-friendly document exchange capabilities;
- the accelerated development of Recommendations and
improvement in publication mechanisms (reduction of unit
cost and time taken to publish, wider distribution and
greater electronic availability);
- increased use of information technology for the notification
and processing of frequency assignments;
- a flexible organizational structure in the
Radiocommunication Bureau (BR), with special attention to
the training and development of the Bureau's staff;
- periodic study group reviews of work programmes to
re-establish priorities and improve effectiveness;
|
|
to encourage greater participation by Member States,
Sector Members and other organizations in ITU-R activities, inter
alia by concluding formal and informal task-oriented cooperation
arrangements. |
