FCC Chairman Brendan Carr announces his appointments of George John and Kimberly Baum as chair and vice chair of the Commission’s World Radiocommunication Conference Advisory Committee. The advisory committee was re-chartered on January 21 with the mission of providing the Commission with advice, technical support, and
recommended proposals for the International Telecommunication Union’s World Radiocommunication Conference, which will be held in 2027. The World Radiocommunication Conference is a treaty-level forum held by the International Telecommunication Union (a United Nations agency) every three to four years in which countries decide on the allocation of frequency spectrum to allow the deployment or growth of all types of radiocommunication services such as wireless, broadcasting, satellite, and aeronautical services.
