What We Do
Spectrum Consultative Group
For important discussion concerning the regulation and application of Spectrum, Standards and Numbering and Electronic Addressing technology, Technical Working Groups are created to bring together the best minds in the country to provide input on specific issues. These groups consist of experts from the private sectors, military, public sectors, non-governmental organization (NGO) and also the academia.
Issues to be discussed are usually agreed earlier in an international meeting. In these meetings, discussion or working groups are proposed and created in member countries to discuss issues. The members for these working groups will then be invited in the respective countries and each member is expected to contribute to the discussion, usually in the form of a report.
The reports from all the members are then compiled and presented in the national committee before being discussed at the international level.
National Preparatory Working Group (NPWG) in preparation for the World Radiocommunication Conference 2011 (NPWG-2011)
Introduction
- The World Radiocommunication Conference (WRC) held every two to three years is the International Forum where Member States come together to revise an international treaty - the ITU Radio Regulations. The WRC aims for reaching consensus on various changes in the Regulations to harmonize spectrum use on a global scale.
- The changes to the ITU Radio Regulations will result in changes and/or updates to our spectrum plan and possible changes to policies and regulatory matters that may affect allocations to over 40 radiocommunication services and technical, operational and regulatory conditions for the use of the radio frequency spectrum and satellite orbits.
- It is important to note that in order to strike a balance between the often imperative need to get agreement so that businesses do not miss out on market opportunities without sacrificing national interests. A comprehensive national working process thus need to be put in place and diligently implemented and executed. To this end, the NPWG-2011 is set up which is based on previous structure and format of participation.
- Previous NPWGs based on openness and transparency would be further enhanced for better effectiveness. Industry direct participation in the various Working Parties will be maintained and further nurtured as it is seen to be very constructive. It has allowed full dialogue and ensured the development of strong national positions, representation and leadership at APG (Asia Pacific Telecommunity Working Group for WRC) and the WRC itself.
