2  Limitations on assignment
Assignment period
 (1) If the ACMA assigns a call sign to a person, the ACMA may specify a period (assignment period) during which the assignment of the call sign to the person has effect.
Note: If the ACMA specifies an assignment period for a call sign, the call sign may be a contest call sign (see section 5).
 (2) If the ACMA does not specify an assignment period when it assigns a call sign to a person, the assignment of the call sign to the person has effect unless the ACMA cancels the assignment.
Special event call signs
 (3) If the ACMA assigns a call sign to a person, the ACMA:
 (a) may specify that the call sign is a special event call sign; and
 (b) if the ACMA specifies that the call sign is a special event call sign –  must specify the event in relation to which the call sign may be used (relevant event).
 (4) If the ACMA specifies an assignment period for a special event call sign, it must specify a period which it reasonably expects will at least encompass the duration of the relevant event.
