  1. Radio Astronomy Frequency Committee in Japan ＣＨＩＫＡＤＡ, Yoshihiro (NAOJ) The 3rd IUCAF Summer School, 3 June 2010

  2. Role of the Committee • Speak up for radio astronomers as the unified public opinions of Japanese astronomy community International regulatory bodies (ITU) Industries Industries Industries Industries Industries Industries Japanese radio astronomers’ community Radio Astronomy Frequency Committee in Japan National regulatory bodies (Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications) Regulatory bodies demand for unified opinion The 3rd IUCAF Summer School, 3 June 2010

  3. How can we get unified public opinions? • Varieties of interest situations • Observing bands • HF ↔ sub-mm • Telescope diameter • Small 1m ↔ large 64 m • Location • cities ↔ mountains • Run by • University laboratory ↔ NAOJ • Sometimes, there might be conflicts of interests. The 3rd IUCAF Summer School, 3 June 2010

  4. Thus we need a committee to discuss. • This is “Radio Astronomy Frequency Committee in Japan ”. The 3rd IUCAF Summer School, 3 June 2010

  5. Structure to Accomplish the Committee’s Role • NAOJ is the only one observatory for common use in Japan. • It is supported by Japanese astronomers’ community. • Thus, it is appropriate to have a division to handle regulatory matters. Steering Committee of NAOJ Steering Committee of NAOJ’s Radio Astronomy Division NAOJ Japanese radio astronomers’ community Radio Astronomy Frequency Committee in Japan LEGEND Appointment and/or steering Supply of members The 3rd IUCAF Summer School, 3 June 2010

  6. The committee • 9 members from NAOJ • 12 members from institutes other than NAOJ • Kagosima univ., Keio Univ., Univ. Tokyo, Univ. Hokkaido, Gifu Univ., Yamaguchi Univ., Waseda Univ., Univ. Tohoku, Tokai Univ., Univ. Nagoya, Inst. Space and Astronautical Science, Geospatial Information Authority of Japan • 3 out of 9 NAOJ members belong to the Secretary Division of the committee. The 3rd IUCAF Summer School, 3 June 2010

  7. The Secretary Division of the committee • We have secretary division of: • 1 full-time personnel • 2 part-time personnel • Costs are paid by NAOJ. • Backgrounds: • Committees are volunteer-based generally. • Committee members meet and discuss, but are not expected to work. • But we have to work every day to protect radio astronomy against industries. • The solution is to have a secretary division. The 3rd IUCAF Summer School, 3 June 2010

  8. Summary • We have to have a national body for each country or region to decide and propose better regulatory ways to the regulatory authorities for radio astronomers. The 3rd IUCAF Summer School, 3 June 2010
