​In Memoriam: Larry Olson It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Larry Olson on 16 September 2026. An electrical engineer, Larry joined the United States Federal Communications Commission (FCC) in 1963 and went on to serve in senior roles in its International Bureau, including as Assistant Chief of the Strategic Analysis and Negotiations Division. Over a distinguished career spanning more than six decades, he helped develop technical and regulatory frameworks for broadcasting and other radiocommunication services, represented the United States at major ITU conferences and led delegations to ITU and bilateral negotiations.​ He made significant contributions to ITU-R as Vice-Chair of Study Groups 10, 6 and 3 and as Chair of Working Parties 10A, 6E and 6A. Larry will be remembered as a valued colleague, mentor and friend. ITU-R colleagues extend their sincere condolences to his family and colleagues. Friends and colleagues may leave condolences on the Raymond Funeral Service tribute page.
