ARLA/CLUSTER: Assembeia Geral da IARU Região 2

[João Gonçalves Costa]

General Assembly - IARU Region 2
The XVIII General Assembly of IARU Region 2 started on Monday, September 23, in Cancun, Mexico.
The International Amateur Radio Union (IARU) is the world federation of national amateur radio organizations. It is formed by more than 160 member societies from different countries and independent territories.
IARU was founded in a meeting in Paris in 1925 as the international representative of radio amateurs. In those times, 'short waves' were barely understood and their commercial use was starting; this threatened the activities that radio amateurs had been carrying out for many years. Radio amateurs needed an organization to coordinate their activities and to have a voice at international conferences.
IARU is recognized by the International Telecommunications Union (ITU) as the representative of the interests of its member societies and of radio amateurs throughout the world. IARU is a Member of the Radiocommunications (ITU-R) and Development (ITU-D) Sectors of ITU and participates in the Study Commissions of both sectors.
IARU Constitution has been reviewed many times. The present Constitution was approved in 1984 and it was modified slightly in 1989. It recognizes three regional organizations that represent the three radio regions defined by ITU for frequency allocation purposes.
Each regional organization is autonomous and operates according to its own Constitution.
IARU Region 2 was founded in Mexico City in 1964 almost 50 years ago.
It integrates the national radio amateur societies of the American continent. It participates in the Inter-American Communications Commission (CITEL) and in sub-regional organizations such as the Caribbean Telecommunications Union (CTU).
IARU Region 2 is managed by an Executive Committee formed by 9 members: President, Vice-President, Secretary, Treasurer and Area Directors elected every three years in a General Assembly, such as the one currently under way in Cancun.
This General Assembly analyzes and studies the different proposals of issues of interest to amateur radio, band plans and adequate use of the spectrum, promotion of our hobby as well as other administrative issues, since the radio amateur societies of every country inform about their respective progress. In parallel, and for the first time, an Emergency Communications Workshop is being held, with numerous attendees.
Participating in the General Assembly in Cancun are representatives of our member societies, as well as representatives of other IARU regions.
