​​The Conference Preparatory Meeting (CPM) is held in two sessions during the interval between World Radiocommunication Conferences (WRC). Typically, the first session takes place immediately following a WRC and the second session meets about six months before the next WRC. The outcome is the CPM Report. The CPM Report plays an important role in the decision-making process at the WRCs as it assists those involved in the preparations for and the deliberations at the next WRC.

The purpose of the first session of the Conference Preparatory Meeting (CPM) is to organize the preparatory studies to be carried out by responsible and contributing groups of the ITU-R Study Groups, and to prepare a structure for the draft CPM Report, based on the agenda for the next WRC and the preliminary agenda for the subsequent WRC.

​
The first session also takes into account any directives​ which may have come from the previous WRC. The second session of the CPM prepares the consolidated CPM Report to be used in support of the work of World Radiocommunication Conferences (WRC), based on:
  • the presentation, discussion, rationalization, and updating of material from responsible groups, addressing WRC agenda items, while taking into account contributions from ITU Member States and Radiocommunication Sector Members concerning the regulatory, technical, operational and procedural matters to be considered by such conferences;
  • the inclusion, to the extent practicable, of reconciled differences in approaches to satisfy the WRC agenda items, as contained in the source material, or, in the case where all efforts to reconcile differences have been exhausted, alternative approaches with their justifications could be included.
​Since 2003, and in accordance with Resolution ITU-R 2, the CPM Report has been prepared in the six official languages of the Union. This digital collection includes all the CPM Reports produced from 1995 to the present.​
