IARU establishes WRC-19 Priorities and Strategies

The Administrative Council (AC) of the International Amateur Radio Union
(IARU) held its annual in-person meeting on 7 and 8 October 2016 in Viña
del Mar, Chile, immediately prior to the IARU Region 2 Conference

The AC is responsible for the policy and management of the IARU and
consists of the three IARU international officers and two representatives
from each of the three IARU regional organizations.

The AC assigned priorities to the agenda items for the 2019 World
Radiocommunication Conference (WRC-19) of the International
Telecommunication Union (ITU) and affirmed the adoption of a matrix
approach to WRC preparation as agreed earlier in the year. The matrix
approach is designed to ensure effective coordination among the numerous
IARU volunteers who are participating in and monitoring the preparatory
meetings of the ITU and regional telecommunications organizations. The
agenda includes, along with several items of potential concern to radio
amateurs, a possible allocation in Region 1 of 50-54 MHz to the amateur
service to harmonize with the allocations in the other two regions.

The permanent working document setting out the long-term spectrum
requirements of the amateur and amateur-satellite services was reviewed and
updated to reflect WRC-15 decisions. A strategic plan to develop support
for amateur spectrum allocations in the period 2016-2020 was adopted.

The IARU budget for the years 2017-2019 was reviewed and adopted. The
budget is based upon anticipated financial contributions from the three
regional organizations to defray a portion of the expenses, in accordance
with previously adopted policy, and reflects ongoing efforts to minimize
expenses. The IARU travel expense reimbursement policy was revised to
reflect the current and anticipated future financial challenges facing many
IARU member-societies, which are the ultimate source of IARU funding.

Proposals for improving the consistency of IARU branding were considered,
and a way forward was agreed.

Reports from the following coordinators and advisers to the AC were
received with thanks: Peter Jennings, AB6WM/VE3SUN, International Beacon
Project Coordinator; Hans Blondeel Timmerman, PB2T, Satellite Adviser; Hans
Zimmermann, HB9AQS, International Coordinator for Emergency Communications;
and Thilo Kootz, DL9KCE, EMC Coordinator. All four volunteers were
reappointed for three-year terms. The report of the International
Coordinator for Emergency Communications included reports from the three
regional coordinators documenting effective responses by radio amateurs to
bridge communications gaps following natural disasters.

Reports from IARU representatives to ITU meetings in the past year were
received and reviewed. Most recently, in late September the IARU accepted
an invitation to participate as a panelist at the ITU-D Study Group 2
Workshop on Emergency Telecommunications and Disaster Relief in Geneva.

Relations with member-societies were reviewed. Following the determination
that the former IARU member-society representing Belize no longer existed,
a proposal for the admission of a new member-society will be forwarded to
member-societies for consideration. At the request of Region 1, the rights
of Amateur Radio Association Bahrain were suspended. A transition in the
representation of the People’s Republic of China is nearing completion.

Following the discussion at the 2015 in-person meeting, the AC reviewed its
resolution concerning QSL bureaus and will be seeking input from its
member-societies.

A program for recognition of IARU volunteers was adopted.

The governing documents of the IARU will be reviewed to identify the issues
related to the registration of the IARU as a corporate entity.

Attending the meeting were IARU President Tim Ellam, VE6SH/G4HUA; Vice
President Ole Garpestad, LA2RR; Secretary Rod Stafford, W6ROD; regional
representatives Don Beattie, G3BJ, Reinaldo Leandro, YV5AM, José Arturo
Molina, YS1MS, Gopal Madhavan, VU2GMN, Shizuo Endo, JE1MUI and Assistant
Secretary David Sumner, K1ZZ. Also present as an observer was Ramón
Santoyo, XE1KK, from Region 2.

It was determined that a virtual meeting will be held early in 2017. The
next scheduled in-person meeting of the AC will be held in the vicinity of
Munich, Germany, on 14-15 September 2017 in conjunction with the IARU
Region 2 Conference.
