To consider possible changes in response to Resolution 86 (Rev.
Marrakesh, 2002) of the Plenipotentiary Conference: "Advance
publication, coordination, notification and recording procedures for
frequency assignments pertaining to satellite networks" in accordance
with Resolution 86 (WRC‑03).

## Proposal for Agenda item 1.12: Power flux-density limits for the 27.5 GHz band

## 

**Background information**

The last sentence of RR No. **5.538** makes reference to the application
of pfd limits contained in Table **21-4** of RR Article **21** in the
band 27.500-27.501 GHz whereas Table **21-4** does not contain this
frequency band.

**5.538** *Additional allocation:* the bands 27.500-27.501 GHz and
29.999-30.000 GHz are also allocated to the fixed-satellite service
(space-to-Earth) on a primary basis for the beacon transmissions
intended for up-link power control. Such space-to-Earth transmissions
shall not exceed an equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.)
of +10 dBW in the direction of adjacent satellites on the
geostationary-satellite orbit.

**Reasons**: To incorporate the power flux-density limits in the band
27.500-27.501 GHz in Table **21-4** of Article **21** and delete the
corresponding reference in RR No. **5.538**.

## 

## Proposal for Agenda item 12: Appendix 5 Coordination arc in the band 17.3-17.8 GHz and other closely related proposals

**Background information**

Resolution **901 (WRC-03)** invites ITU-R "to conduct studies on the
applicability of the coordination arc concept for space
radiocommunication services not yet covered by these Regulations" as
well as "to recommend, as appropriate, the orbital separation required
for triggering inter-service and intra-service coordination concerning
the satellite services in frequency bands above 3.4 GHz for
geostationary-satellite (GSO) networks not subject to a Plan and not
already covered by the coordination arc concept specified in No. **9.7**
(GSO/GSO) of Table 5-1 (Appendix **5**), under items 1), 2) and 3) of
the frequency band column, and subject to Section II of Article 9". This
Resolution further *resolves* to recommend that a future competent
conference review the results of ITU-R studies on the application of the
coordination arc and consider including the results of these studies in
Appendix **5**. Review of such study results are considered under
Resolution **86** of Agenda item 1.12.

Pursuant to Resolution **901**, ITU-R studied the appropriate
coordination arc value to trigger coordination between
Broadcasting-Satellite Service (BSS) networks serving Region 2 in the
band 17.3-17.8 GHz and Fixed Satellite Service (FSS) (space-to-Earth)
networks serving Region 1 in the band 17.3-17.7 GHz and FSS
(space-to-Earth) networks serving Regions 1, 2 and 3 in the band
17.7-17.8 GHz.

The ITU-R studies concluded that a coordination arc value of ±8° is
appropriate to trigger coordination between GSO BSS networks serving
Region 2 and GSO FSS (space-to-Earth) networks whose service areas are
limited to Region 1 in the band 17.3-17.7 GHz and between GSO BSS
networks serving Region 2 and GSO FSS (space-to-Earth) networks whose
service areas are limited to Regions 1 and/or 3 in the band 17.7-17.8
GHz. As a result, specific changes are proposed to Table 5-1 of Appendix
**5** to incorporate these conclusions. For the case of Region 2 FSS
(space-to-Earth) with respect to Region 2 BSS in the 17.7 -- 17.8 GHz
band footnote No. **5.517** applies.

**5.517** In Region 2, the allocation to the broadcasting-satellite
service in the band 17.3-17.8 GHz shall come into effect on 1 April
2007. After that date, use of the fixed-satellite (space-to-Earth)
service in the band 17.7-17.8 GHz shall not claim protection from and
shall not cause harmful interference to operating systems in the
broadcasting-satellite service.

Changes to the wording of this provision, as well as consequential
changes to the Table of Allocations are proposed recognizing that the 1
April 2007 date has passed.

Finally, also for Region 2, No. **5.518** applies for the Mobile
Service.

**5.518** Different category of service:  in Region 2, the allocation of
the band 17.7-17.8 GHz to the mobile service is on a primary basis until
31 March 2007.

Suppression of this provision is proposed, recognizing that the 31 March
2007 date has passed.

Reasons: These modifications to Table 5-1 of Appendix 5 incorporate the
results of ITU-R studies that conclude that a coordination arc of ±8º
between Region 2 BSS and Regions 1&3 FSS in the bands 17.3-17.8 GHz is
sufficient for triggering coordination between these services. These
modifications also note that No. 5.517 applies in the band 17.7-17.8
GHz.

## Proposal for Agenda item 12: No. 11.47

**Background information**

WRC-03 identified in Resolution **86 (WRC-03)** the scope and the
criteria to be used for the implementation of Resolution **86 (Rev.
Marrakesh, 2002)**. Resolves 1) of Resolution **86 (WRC-03)**
specifically states that WRC-**07** should "consider any proposals which
deal with deficiencies in the advance publication, coordination,
notification and recording procedures of the Radio Regulations for space
services which have either been identified by the Board and included in
the Rules of Procedure or which have been identified by administrations
or by the Bureau as appropriate." WRC-**03** also resolved that future
WRCs consider any proposals that are intended to transform the content
of the Rules of Procedure into regulatory text.

WRC-**03** modified No. **11.44** by suppressing the possibility of
extension of the date of bringing into use. However, WRC-did not modify
the provisions of No. **11.47** which still refers to an "extension
granted under No. **11.44**". In light of this decision, ITU-R has
concluded that these provisions should be amended in order to be
consistent with the decision taken by WRC-**03** on No. **11.44**.

In addition, No. **11.47** states that "Any frequency assignment
provisionally recorded under this provision shall be brought into use by
the date specified in the notice ..." It has been noted that the date of
bringing into use specified in the notice is an anticipated date,
subject to change. The Rule of Procedure (RoP) on No. **11.47**
addresses the procedures to be followed by the Radiocommunication Bureau
(BR) when the responsible administration fails to notify the bringing
into use of provisionally recorded assignments by the date recorded in
the Master Register. This RoP provides the notifying administration with
the possibility to modify this expected date of bringing into use
without any justification, as long as the new date falls within the
limits prescribed in No. **11.44**. It should, therefore, be recognized
that the assignment should not be cancelled if it is not brought into
use by the expected date of bringing into use, but only the non-respect
of the 7-year period should lead to cancellation.

No. **11.47** also refers to the provisional recording of assignments to
terrestrial stations, as it mentions the extension provided under
No. **11.45**. ITU-R has concluded that no change should be made in this
area.

# 

# Proposal

This proposal modifies the provisions of No. **11.47** to suppress the
reference to any extension granted under No. **11.44**, consistent with
the decisions of WRC-**03** to modify No. **11.44**. It is also proposed
to remove the requirement to bring into use assignments to space
stations provisionally recorded in the Master Register by the date
specified in the notice, as this date is considered as an expected date
of bringing into use and the only regulatory deadline is the latest date
provided by No. **11.44**. Under this approach, it is proposed that the
Bureau send a reminder only when the administration fails to advise the
Bureau that the provisionally recorded assignment has been brought into
use in accordance with No. **11.44**. It is further proposed that, with
these modifications, the RoP associated with No. **11.47** can be
suppressed.

Finally, it is proposed not to amend the provisions of No. **11.47** in
respect of terrestrial services. It is proposed to modify No. 11.47 as
shown in Section 6/1.12/4 of the CPM Report.\]

**11.47** All frequency assignments notified in advance of their being
brought into use shall be entered provisionally in the Master Register.
Any frequency assignment to a space station provisionally recorded under
this provision shall be brought into use no later than the end of the
period provided under No. **11.44**. Any other frequency assignment
provisionally recorded under this provision shall be brought into use by
the date specified in the notice, or by the extension granted under
No. **11.45**, as the case may be. Unless the Bureau has been informed
by the notifying administration of the bringing into use of the
assignment, it shall, no later than fifteen days before the notified
date of bringing into use, in the case of an earth station, or the end
of the regulatory period established under No. **11.44** or
No. **11.45**, as appropriate, send a reminder requesting confirmation
that the assignment has been brought into use within the regulatory
period. If the Bureau does not receive that confirmation within thirty
days following the notified date of bringing into use, in the case of an
earth station, or the period provided under No. **11.44** or
No. **11.45**, as the case may be, it shall cancel the entry in the
Master Register. The Bureau shall inform the administration concerned
before taking such action.

**Reasons:**

1\) To address the inconsistency created with the modification of No.
**11.44** at WRC-**03;**

2\) To remove the regulatory nature associated with the notified date of
bringing into use assignments provisionally recorded in the Master
Register;

3\) To incorporate the associated rules of procedure outlining the
actions to be taken by the Bureau and the filing administration should
the Bureau not be advised that assignments provisionally recorded in the
Master Register have been brought into use by the latest date prescribed
by Nos. **11.44** or **11.45** as applicable;

4)  To reduce the administrative burdens on the BR in managing this
    process.

## Proposal for Agenda item 12: Provisions of RR No. 22.2 

**Background information**

RR No. **22.2** is the provision that governs the sharing between
non-geostationary satellite (non-GSO) systems vis-à-vis geostationary
satellite (GSO) networks in the fixed-satellite service (FSS) and the
broadcasting-satellite service (BSS), except when it is explicitly
disabled through a footnote in RR Article **5** through a Resolution
adopted by a World Radiocommunication Conference (WRC). In the light of
the decisions taken by the last WRCs, clarification may be needed
concerning the respective status of non-GSO systems and GSO networks in
cases where RR No. **22.2** applies. It is proposed to modify No. 22.2
in accordance with text of Section 6/1.12/5 of the CPM Report.

\[Saint Vincent and the Grenadines\], \[Saint Kitts and Nevis\],
\[Suriname\], \[Trinidad and Tobago\], \[Venezuela\]

**22.2** § 2 1) Non-geostationary-satellite systems shall not cause
unacceptable interference to or claim protection from
geostationary‑satellite networks in the fixed-satellite service and the
broadcasting-satellite service operating in accordance with these
Regulations. No. **5.43A** does not apply in this case.     (WRC-07)

**Reasons:** To clarify that NGSO systems shall not claim protection
from GSO networks. The last sentence referring to the non-application of
No. **5.43A** is required in order to avoid any inconsistency between
the operational nature of No. **22.2** which refers to the notion of
unacceptable interference (level to be agreed between the
administrations concerned taking into account, *inter alia*, footnote
**A.22.1**) and the regulatory nature of No. **5.43A** (implicitly
applicable unless otherwise specified because of the occurrence of the
words "nor claim protection from") which refers to the notion of harmful
interference.

## Proposal for Agenda item 1.12: Appendix 7 Table 10 for ground-based earth stations and aircraft terrestrial stations

**Background information**

Resolution **86 (Rev. Marrakesh, 2002)** requested that WRC-03 and
subsequent Conferences review the regulatory procedures associated with
the advance publication, coordination, notification and recording of
frequency assignments pertaining to satellite network. WRC-03 identified
in Resolution **86 (WRC‑03)** the scope and the criteria to be used for
the implementation of Resolution **86 (Rev. Marrakesh, 2002)**. Resolves
1 of Resolution **86 (WRC-03)** specifically states that WRC-07 should
"consider any proposals which deal with deficiencies in the advance
publication, coordination, notification and recording procedures of the
Radio Regulations (RR) for space services which have either been
identified by the Board and included in the Rules of Procedure or which
have been identified by administrations or by the Bureau as
appropriate."

A review of Appendix **7**, Table 10 (Predetermined coordination
distance) indicates that the case of ground-based earth stations and
aircraft terrestrial stations, except for those specifically identified
cases in the table, is missing. In the past the Radiocommunications
Bureau has used the predetermined distance of 500 km for this case,
e.g., see Document RRB98/134(Rev.1) dated 8 December 1998. This
coordination distance was derived assuming line-of-sight propagation
between the aircraft and ground-based stations with a 4/3 Earth radius
and the aircraft altitude of 12 km. The 500 km is consistent with the
distance currently applicable to the similar cases of coordination
between aircraft and ground-based stations such as i) ground-based earth
stations in the bands below 1 GHz to which No. **9.11A**
applies/ground-based mobile in the bands within the range 1‑3 GHz to
which No. **9.11A** applies and aircraft (mobile) terrestrial stations;
ii) aircraft (mobile) earth stations and ground-based terrestrial
stations; and iii) non-GSO MSS feeder-link earth stations and aircraft
(mobile) terrestrial stations. To cover the case of ground-based earth
stations and aircraft terrestrial stations, Table 10 needs to be
modified to include this case with a coordination distance of 500 km.
The proposal does not apply to frequency bands already covered in Table
10.

## Proposal for Agenda item 1.12: RR Appendix 4 data element (C.8.d.2) contiguous satellite bandwidth

**Background information**

WRC-03 reviewed Annex 2 of RR Appendix **4**. Among the modifications,
WRC‑03 added an item C.8.d.2 "*Contiguous satellite bandwidth*". This
item was introduced in RR Appendix **4** in order to cover the specific
cases where a transmitting satellite transponder would operate in a
multi-carrier mode, where the aggregate bandwidth of the transmitted
carriers would be different and lower than the transponder bandwidth.

This item was introduced in RR Appendix **4** in order to help
administrations to conduct coordination in these cases of multi-carrier
transmissions. The relationship between this item and item C.3.a
"*Bandwidth of the assigned frequency band*" is considered here. It is
proposed to modify Appendix 4 as shown in Section 6/1.12/7 of the CPM
Report

## Proposal for Agenda item 1.12: Coordination of the radionavigation-satellite service (space-to-space) in the bands 1 215-1 300 MHz and 1 559-1 610 MHz

**Background information**

The scope and criteria to be used for the implementation of Resolution
**86 (Rev. Marrakesh, 2002)** of the Plenipotentiary Conference by
future world radiocommunication conferences (WRCs) is established in
Resolution **86 (WRC‑03)**. *Resolves 1* of Resolution **86 (WRC-03)**
relates to the consideration of proposals dealing with deficiencies in
the advance publication, coordination and notification procedures of the
Radio Regulations for space services, and Resolves 2 relates to
consideration of proposals intended to transform the content of the
Rules of Procedure into regulatory text.

WRC-2000 added the space-to-space direction to the existing
radionavigation-satellite service (RNSS) (space-to-Earth) allocations in
the bands 1 215-1 300 MHz and 1 559-1 610 MHz, along with footnote
**5.329A**. WRC-03 added footnote **5.328B**, which applied coordination
between two non-GSO RNSS systems and between non-GSO and GSO RNSS
systems in the bands 1 164-1 300 MHz, 1 559-1 610 MHz and 5 010-5 030
MHz under Nos. **9.12**, **9.12A** and **9.13** after 1 January 2005,
without specifying direction (i.e., space-to-Earth or space-to-space).
Coordination between GSO RNSS systems in the same bands (space-to-Earth
and space-to-space) is covered by No. 9.7, again without specifying
direction (i.e., space-to-Earth or space-to-space).

No. **9.11A** applies the coordination provisions of Nos. **9.12** to
**9.16** where the requirement to coordinate is included in a footnote
to the Table of Frequency Allocations referring to No. **9.11A**. Since
WRC-2000, the Rules of Procedure (RoP), issued by the Radio Regulations
Board (RRB), rather than the Radio Regulations have defined the services
and frequency bands for which the coordination procedure under
No. **9.11A** is required. The RRB considered the application of
No. **9.11A** to the bands given in No. **5.329A** (i.e., 1 215-1 300
and 1 559-1 610 MHz) and interpreted the Regulations as excluding RNSS
(space-to-space) assignments in the bands given in No. **5.329A** from
any obligation to coordinate with other services and with RNSS
(space-to-Earth), but as obliging these RNSS (space-to-space)
assignments to coordinate with each other.

In addition, many RNSS (space-to-space) network assignments are
receive-only in the bands 1215-1 300 MHz and 1 559-1 610 MHz. Resolution
**610 (WRC-03)**, as referenced in No. **5.328B**, requires
administrations to provide evidence of binding agreements for the
manufacture, procurement, and launch of RNSS systems and networks. This
resolution was intended to aid bilateral coordination between
transmitting RNSS systems and networks by ensuring such systems are
either in operation or in the process of being implemented. Requiring
Resolution **610 (WRC-03)** data for receiving space stations is
unnecessary.

Therefore, modifications to No. **5.329A** and No. **5.328B** are needed
to reflect the RRB decision that requires RNSS (space-to-space) to
coordinate only with other RNSS (space-to-space) but not with other
services or with RNSS (space-to-Earth), and to remove Resolution **610
(WRC-03)** obligations from RNSS receiving space stations. Additionally,
to ensure that the obligation on RNSS (space-to-space) networks under
No. 5.329A is also adequately reflected for geostationary RNSS
(space-to-space) networks with respect to GSO RNSS (space-to-Earth)
networks in the 1215-1300 MHz and 1559-1610 MHz bands (a coordination
scenario not encompassed by Nos. **9.12**, **9.12A**, and **9.13**), the
modification to No. **5.328B** refers as well to No. **9.7**.

## Proposal for Agenda item 1.12: Provisions of RR No. 11.49

######## Background information

The provisions of RR No. 11.49 are mainly applied by administrations in
the case of malfunction of a satellite and allow the continuation of the
rights of the assignment to be protected. ITU-R has concluded that two
years, as provided in RR No. 11.49, is the appropriate period for the
malfunctioning spacecraft to be replaced to allow for actual situations.

**Reasons:** ITU-R has concluded that two years, as provided in RR No.
11.49, is the appropriate period for the malfunctioning spacecraft to be
replaced to allow for actual situations and that there should be no
changes in the provisions of RR No. 11.49.

## Proposal for Agenda item 1.12: Provisions of RR No. 9.1

**Background information**

There has been a longstanding requirement in Article 9 of the Radio
Regulations, under **No. 9.1**, for the Radiocommunications Bureau to
wait a requisite six months after receiving the advanced publication
information for satellite networks requiring coordination under Section
II of Article 9 before receiving the accompanying coordination request
information, even if both sets of information are submitted to the
Bureau at the same time. While this six-month delay may have served a
purpose in years past when there was a substantial amount of technical
data included in the API for administrations to consider and potentially
comment upon, this is no longer the case. As a consequence of the
simplification of the Radio Regulations at WRC-95, the API for satellite
networks requiring coordination under Section II of Article 9 includes
very limited information, e.g. orbital position and frequency bands, and
as such, there is little for administrations to review and comment upon.
In addition, this six month delay has the effect of adding uncertainty
into the possible availability of orbital slots, as conflicting
coordination requests associated with other, earlier filed APIs, may be
received by the BR during the six month period thereby making a
previously available orbital slot no longer available. This required six
month delay therefore serves no purpose other than to delay the overall
coordination process for satellite networks and add uncertainty as to
the possible availability of orbital slots.

**9.1** Before initiating any action under this Article or under
Article **11** in respect of frequency assignments for a satellite
network or a satellite system, an administration, or one^9^ acting on
behalf of a group of named administrations, shall, prior to the
coordination procedure described in Section II of Article **9** below,
where applicable, send to the Bureau a general description of the
network or system for advance publication in the International Frequency
Information Circular (BR IFIC) not earlier than seven years and
preferably not later than two years before the planned date of bringing
into use of the network or system (see also No. **11.44**). The
characteristics to be provided for this purpose are listed in Appendix
**4**. The coordination or notification information may also be
communicated to the Bureau at the same time. When coordination is
required by Section II of Article **9**, the coordination information
shall be considered as having been received by the Bureau upon the date
of receipt of the complete information. Where coordination is not
required by Section II, notification shall be considered as having been
received by the Bureau not earlier than six months after the date of
publication of the advance publication information.     (WRC-07)

**Reasons:** To address the unnecessary requirement for the
Radiocommunications Bureau to wait six months after receipt of the
advanced publication information before receiving the coordination
request information for satellite networks requiring coordination under
Section II of Article 9.

## Proposal for Agenda item 1.12: Resolution 86 (WRC-03)

**Background information**

Resolution 86 (Rev. Marrakesh, 2002) deals with the review and update of
the various procedures (advance publication, coordination, notification
and recording in the MIFR) for frequency assignments pertaining to
satellite networks. This Resolution was initially adopted by PP-98 after
an in-depth review of these procedures was conducted by the VGE
(Voluntary Group of Experts) and induced profound modifications in the
RR. The main purpose of this Resolution is to invite the WRCs to review
and update the various steps in the regulatory procedures for space
networks/systems.

PP-02 modified this Resolution by settling the global framework of the
review of the space procedures, including aspects related to equitable
access to the orbit/spectrum resource and to cost savings in BR and the
administrations. PP-02 also invited WRC-03 to determine the scope and
criteria to be used for the implementation of this Resolution.

In response to this invitation, WRC-03 adopted Resolution **86
(WRC-03)** which contains the various criteria to be used in the context
of the corresponding WRC Agenda item. The 2006 Plenipotentiary
Conference considered modifying Resolution 86 (Rev. Marrakesh**,** 2002)
and concluded not to change that Resolution due to the disagreement on
the scope of modification. However, PP-06 decided to invite WRC-07 to
consider the matter further and report to PP-10.

**Reasons:** As stated in view B in Section 6/1.12/14.2 of the CPM
Report, the framework provided by Resolution **86 (WRC-03)** is
satisfactory and it should be retained.

## Proposal for Agenda item 1.12: Application of the provisions of RR No. 9.14

**Background information**

The Rule of Procedure on RR No. **9.14** specifies that "No. **9.14**
applies to space-to-Earth frequency allocations only, i.e. coordination
of a transmitting space station in respect of receiving terrestrial
stations when the threshold value is exceeded. In the absence of
threshold value, the provisions of No. **9.50.1** could apply (see also
Appendix **5**)".

Considering that this Rule has not raised difficulties and can be
translated in RR text, it is proposed to amend the wording of RR
No. **9.14** to reflect the Rule of Procedure. Consequently, the Rules
of Procedure on RR No. **9.14** related to this aspect should be
suppressed.

## Proposal for Agenda item 1.12: Nos. 9.15 to 9.18

**Background information**

Since WRC-95, with the consideration and adoption of the report of the
Voluntary Group of Experts (VGE), at various WRCs several attempts have
been made to merge RR No. **9.15** into RR No. **9.17** and RR
No. **9.16** into RR No. **9.18** due to the apparent similarity of
these two pairs of provisions. In fact RR No. **9.15** and RR
No. **9.16** stem from former Resolution **46 (WARC-92)** and RR
No. **9.17** and RR No. **9.18** stem from former provisions **RR1107**
and **RR1148** (Edition of 1990). However, after lengthy discussion,
these different WRCs have recognized that the objectives and purposes of
the two pairs mentioned above were entirely different.

The merging of these two pairs would thus cause unforeseeable
difficulties. Incorporation/merging of provisions of RR No. **9.15**
with RR No. **9.17** and provisions of RR No. **9.16** with RR
No. **9.18** is not consistent with the letter and the spirit of the
Radio Regulations. Such incorporation/merging does not simplify the
application of these provisions and may create confusion for
administrations in applying these provisions.

ITU-R has concluded that no change be made to these provisions.

## Proposal for Agenda item 1.12: Non-Payment of Satellite Network Cost Recovery for Notification

**Background information**

WRC 2000, as a result of including the consequences of non-payment of
cost recovery fees, modified footnotes in Article 9, Appendices 30, 30A,
and 30B. These footnotes provided that if payments were not received in
accordance with the provisions as set forth in Decision 482, as
modified, the Bureau would cancel the publication, after informing the
administration concerned. Council 05 approved a further modified
Decision 482, which extended satellite network cost recovery
requirements to notifications of satellite network filings. As a result
of this action, similar modifications are required for Article 11,
Appendices 30, 30A and 30B.

[]{#__RefHeading___Toc166151141 .anchor}**Agenda item 2:** *To examine
the revised ITU-R Recommendations incorporated by reference in the Radio
Regulations communicated by the Radio Assembly in accordance with
Resolution **28 (Rev. WRC-03)**, and to decide whether or not to update
the corresponding references in the Radio Regulations, in accordance
with the principles contained in Resolution **27 (WRC-03)**.*

**Background information**

Resolution **28 (Rev. WRC-03)** *urges Administrations* to examine any
indicated revisions of ITU-R Recommendations containing text
incorporated by reference and to prepare proposals on possible updating
of relevant references in the Radio Regulations.

Annex 1 to Resolution **27 (Rev. WRC-03)** lists the principles for
incorporation by reference. Principle 5 states:

> "If, between WRCs, a text incorporated by reference (e.g. an
> ITU-Recommendation) is updated, the reference in the Radio Regulations
> shall continue to apply to the earlier version incorporated by
> reference until such time as a competent WRC agrees to incorporate the
> new version. The mechanism of considering such as step is given in
> Resolution **28 (Rev. WRC-03)**."

Accordingly, proposals are included below to update the references in
the Radio Regulations to ITU-R Recommendations incorporated by reference
to reflect the latest version, where it is deemed appropriate.

Resolution **27 (Rev. WRC-03)** *invites Administrations* to submit
proposals to future conferences, taking into account the CPM Report, in
order to clarify the status of references, where ambiguities remain
regarding the mandatory or non-mandatory status of the references in
question, with a view to amending those references:

i)  that appear to be of a mandatory nature, identifying such references
    as being incorporated by reference by using clear linking language
    in accordance to Annex 2;

ii) that are of a non-mandatory character, so as to refer to "the most
    recent version" of the Recommendations.

Accordingly, proposals are included below to clarify the status of
existing references to ITU-R Recommendations and to correct, among other
things, any remaining ambiguities.

The CPM Report addresses the two types of proposals described above
(i.e. 1. updating references in the RR to reflect new versions of ITU-R
Recommendations and 2. clarifying the status of references) and was used
as the basis for some of the proposals included below. The CPM Report
also describes a third situation where a WRC Resolution includes a
*resolves* referring to an ITU-R Recommendation using mandatory language
(i.e., shall). In this situation, the ITU-R Recommendation or parts
thereof, as may be specified, are considered to be incorporated by
reference. Therefore, in order to clarify the scope of incorporation by
reference and confirm the treatment of those ITU-R Recommendations,
Resolution **27 (Rev.WRC-03)** should be modified accordingly.

Regarding the incorporation by reference of Recommendation ITU-R
M.1642-1 into the Radio Regulations, both this latter situation of
incorporation by reference via a WRC Resolution and the need to update
the reference in the RR apply. It is noted that consequential changes to
the Radio Regulations in relation to this proposal may be addressed
under Agenda item 3.

**Reasons:** Footnote **5.328A** (**WRC-03**) states that RNSS systems
operating in the band 1164-1215 MHz shall operate in accordance with the
provisions of Resolution **609** **(WRC-03)**. Resolves 10 of this
Resolution states that Recommendation ITU-R M. 1642 shall be used to
perform the requisite calculations related to this resolution.
Therefore, the revised referenced Recommendation fulfills the criteria
to be incorporated into the Radio Regulations.

The previous Agenda item 2 proposals may require consequential changes

## Proposals for Agenda item 2: References to ITU-R Recommendations in the Radio Regulations requiring modification to bring them into accordance with Resolution 27 (Rev.WRC-03) (Annex 2, No. 5)

It is proposed to modify the footnotes and provisions as shown in
Section **7/2/1** of the CPM Report. With respect to **5.536A**, Option
1 is supported. Please below the text.

######## Incorporation by reference of ITU-R Recommendations mentioned in Volumes 1 and 2 of the Radio Regulations -- Changes to provisions of a non‑mandatory nature

It was noted that references to ITU-R Recommendations of non-mandatory
character do not need to be updated by a WRC.

It was noted that Resolutions **27 (Rev.WRC-03)** and **28
(Rev.WRC-03)** do not contain a procedure for updating the references to
ITU-R Recommendations of non-mandatory character.

WRC-07 may wish to consider the need to establish such a procedure and
to adopt the necessary texts as appropriate.

The various footnotes and provisions in the RR were examined by the
Special Committee, from the point of view of incorporation by reference
and were submitted to the CPM. The CPM preferred not to study them and
are sent to WRC-07 for information.

APPENDIX 5 (Rev.WRC-07)

**Identification of administrations with which coordination is to be
effected or**

**agreement sought under the provisions of Article 9**

ANNEX 1 (WRC-07)

**1 Coordination thresholds for sharing between MSS (space-to-Earth) and
terrestrial services in the same frequency bands and between non-GSO MSS
feeder links (space-to-Earth) and terrestrial services in the same
frequency bands**

**1.2.1 Objectives**

As a consequence of this new concept, the need for coordination between
space stations of the MSS (space-to-Earth) and terrestrial services is
determined using two methods:

\- simple method: FDP (simple definition of the MSS system and
characteristics of reference FS stations are used in inputs) or power
flux-density trigger value;

\- more detailed method: system specific methodology (SSM) (specific
characteristics of the

MSS system and characteristics of reference fixed service stations are
used in inputs) as described, for example, in the most recent version of
Annex 1 to Recommendation ITU-R M.1143.

**1.2.3.2 A system specific methodology (SSM) to be used in determining
the need for detailed coordination of non-GSO MSS (space-to-Earth)
systems with fixed service systems**

Those administrations planning to establish the need for coordination
between non-GSO MSS networks and fixed service systems are encouraged to
use the most recent version of Recommendation ITU-R M.1143. While urgent
additional development work is being undertaken in the ITU-R to
facilitate the use of the methodology described in the most recent
version of Recommendation ITU-R M.1143, administrations may be able to
effect coordination by applying this SSM.

**Reasons:** Use of these ITU-R Recommendations are considered not
mandatory in nature and to correct the ambiguity and clarify the linking
language to conform to Resolution **27 (Rev. WRC-03) (Annex 2, No. 5)**.

It is proposed to add the ITU-R Recommendations listed in **Table 1** of
Section **7/2/2** to Volume 4 of the Radio Regulations. It should be
noted that there are revised versions for some of these ITU-R
Recommendations, i.e., ITU-R **S.1428-1**, ITU-R **BO.1443-2** and
**M.1642-1**, and it is these versions that should be included in Volume
4.

**Reasons:** Use of the term "shall" in the *resolves* is mandatory in
nature and consequently incorporates by reference the specified ITU-R
Recommendation, or parts thereof.

## Proposals for Agenda item 2: ITU-R Recommendations incorporated by reference in the Radio Regulations which have been revised and approved since WRC-03

Section **7/2/3** of the CPM Report identifies ITU-R Recommendations

In accordance with Resolution **95 (Rev.WRC-2003)**, to review the
Resolutions and Recommendations of the previous Conferences with a view
to their possible revision, replacement or abrogation.

**Background information**

Resolution **33 (Rev. WRC-03)** contains procedures to be applied for
the coordination and notification of BSS satellite networks for which
the API has been received by the Radiocommunications Bureau prior to 1
January 1999.

The BR Director\'s review of Resolutions and Recommendations of
WARC/WRC, submitted to the last meeting of the CPM, proposed that WRC-07
suppress Resolution **33 (Rev.WRC-03)** under the justification
\"Processing of filings under this Resolution completed\".

However, some countries still have BSS filings in the process of
coordination and notification in accordance with the terms of Resolution
**33 (Rev. WRC-03)**. These filings have been submitted under **11.43A**
and are covered by an API submitted prior to 1 January 1999. Moreover,
their validity extends well beyond 2007.
