SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

After consultation with the Committee Management Secretariat, General Services Administration, the Commission intends to renew the charter of the WRC Advisory Committee for two years, commencing March 31, 2022. Its scope of activities is to address issues contained in the agenda for the 2023 World Radio Conference (WRC-23). Each organization, institution or entity (organizational applicant) may propose one primary representative. Organizational applicants are also encouraged to propose one alternate representative. Submission of the nomination of the organizational applicant's primary representative or alternative representative should include the nominated person's complete contact information (email address, telephone number and mailing address) as well as a resume. Similarly, those requesting appointment in their individual capacities (and not as an organizational applicant) should also provide complete contact information and a resume with their submission. The public notice DA 22-255 includes additional information on the membership application process and can be found at https://www.fcc.gov/​document/​fcc-announces-rechartering-and-solicitation-members-wac . Because the Commission recognizes that technologies and spectrum priorities may evolve over the course of the multi-year WRC-23 preparatory cycle and that the expertise or experience relevant to the mission of this Committee may change over time, the Commission will continue to accept applications for Committee Membership on a rolling basis after the initial March 31, 2022 deadline. The WRC-23 Advisory Committee will continue to provide to the FCC advice, data, and technical analyses, and will formulate recommendations relating to the preparation of U.S. proposals and positions for WRC-23.

Federal Communications Commission.

Deputy Chief, International Bureau.
