|Third Report from the Chairman of Committee 7 |

|to the Plenary Meeting |

|Agenda item 5 |

Under agenda item 5, Committee 7 took note of Document 162 (Report from RA-03 to WRC-03), and in particular Annex 5 thereof dealing with the Conference Preparatory Process. In response to the request to provide guidance to CPM-1 on possible improvements to the process, the following items were identified:

1) WRC-03 invites the CPM to initiate preparation for WRC-07. The preparatory process shall be in conformity with Resolution ITU-R 2-4.

2) In accordance with Resolution ITU-R 38-3, WRC-03 proposes activation of the Special Committee in the preparatory process for WRC-07, taking special account of the changes made to the Resolution during RA-03. These changes entail that

CPM-1 should distribute its tasks to the SC.

Noting the financial position of the Union, the SC should work in accordance with the working methods and procedures of a Study Group, in order to save costs, which means that only in a small number of the meetings interpretation is necessary.

3) WRC-03 expressed its wish for preparatory studies to be undertaken within the existing structure of the Study Groups (i.e. using existing Working Parties and Task Groups) and that no Joint Groups (e.g. JTG) be established (avoided as far as possible). Tasks should be assigned to a group having the overall responsibility.

4) WRC-03 advised CPM06-1 that, as far as practicable, the schedule of Study Group, Working Party and Task Group meetings dealing with items on the agenda of WRC-07 should be arranged to avoid or minimize overlapping meetings so as to facilitate the participation of all delegations to the maximum extent possible.

5) WRC-03 advised that no further results of studies from the Study Groups should be submitted to WRC-07 after the second meeting of the CPM (CPM06-2).

6) WRC-03 considered that the duration of the second meeting of the CPM (CPM06-2) should [shall] be two weeks. However, it was noted that the information session should be considered to have a more instructive information session in preparation for WRC-07.

7) Document transmission to the second meeting of the CPM (CPM06-2) should not be limited in scope. However, in order for the documents to be available for the opening of the meeting in the working languages of the Union, every effort should be made to submit them well beforehand and limit their length, if possible to a maximum of ten pages.

8) The number of options in the CPM Report should be limited to the minimum.

9) The number of liaison statements should be limited to the minimum necessary and Chairmen, Study Groups or Working Parties as well as the corresponding counselor should take follow up action, as appropriate.

10) The multiple assignment of a given topic to be avoided (primary responsibility, secondary responsibility).
