3. Before Presentation • Freedom is not FREE • Our DUTY • protect RAS from harmful interference • FIGHT and share with other Active Services • Our RIGHT • Free From man-made interference •  RAS = passive service

4. World Radiocommunication Conferences Regulatory Structure • Part I WHY? Needs of APT • Part II APT • Part III RAFCAP

5. The Radio Regulations (treaty status) incorporates the decisions of the World Radiocommunication Conferences, including all Appendices, Resolutions, Recommendations and ITU-R Recommendations incorporated by reference. Radio Regulations (RR)

6. Frequency allocations • Article 5 • 5.2 For the allocation of frequencies the world has been divided into three Regions1as shown on the following map and described in Nos. 5.3 to 5.9: • 15.2.1 It should be noted that where the words “regions” or “regional” are without a capital “R” in these Regulations, they do not relate to the three Regions here defined for purposes of frequency allocation.

18. Introduction • Established in Bangkok in July 1979 • The APT is an Intergovernmental Organization operates in conjunction with telecom service providers, manufacturers, and research and development organizations active in the field of communication. • The APT covers 34 member countries, with 4 associate members and 121 affiliate members.   • Preparation of Global conferences • - World Radiocommunication Conference (WRC), ITU Plenipotentiary Conference (PP), World Telecommunication Development Conference (WTDC), World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS), World Telecommunication Standardization Assembly (WTSA) and the ITU meetings. • APT is also involved in promoting regional harmonization of their programmes and activities in the region.

20. SWAT Analysis

21. Radiocommunication • APT Radiocommunication Program composed of two major Work Programs: • APT Conference Preparatory Group for WRC (APG): APG, one of the most successul work program in APT, has been playing a significant and successful role to harmonize the regional views to ITU World Radiocommunication Conferences (WRC). More.... • APT Wireless Forum (AWF): AWF assists the region to make the best possible use of the newly acquired knowledge in wireless technologies in telecommunication and to facilitate the effecient use of the spectrum resources by regional harminization initiatives.

22. APG2012 meeting • APT Conference Preparatory Group for WRC-12 (APG2012) • The main objectives of APG are as follows: • To develop APT Common Proposals for WRCs • To develop APT Common Views on the matters related to ITU Radiocommunication Assemblies (RAs), ITU-R Conference Preparatory Meetings (CPMs) and the ITU-R Special Committee for Regulatory and Procedural Matters (SCRPM) • To assists APT Member countries, specially developing countries, in their preparations for WRCs, RAs, CPMs and the SC so that the interests of the region are protected

23. 5th meeting (Final) - Develop APT common proposals for WRCs e.gWRC process Principal Tasks of APG meetings 4th meeting - Develop APT common proposals for CPM e.g. CPM process for WRCs 1st – 3rd meeting - Develop APT Preliminary Views for WRCs

24. APG2012 meeting • The 3rd APT Conference Preparatory Group Meeting for WRC-2012 (APG2012-3), - March 08-12 2010, Bangkok, Thailand • 4th APT Conference Preparatory Group Meeting for WRC-12 (APG2012 - 4) • Dec. 13 -18 2010, Hong Kong, China

29. RAFCAP Radio Astronomy Frequency Committee in the Asia-Pacific region RAFCAP – Charter • RAFCAP (Radio Astronomy Frequency Committee in the Asia-Pacific region) • RAFCAP acts as the scientific expert committee on frequency issues for the Asia-Pacific radio astronomy and related sciences. The mission of RAFCAP is: • (a) to keep the frequency bands used for radio astronomical observations free from interference. • (b) to argue the scientific needs of radio astronomy for continued access to and availability of the radio spectrum for radio astronomy within the Asia-Pacific region. • (c) to support related science communities in their needs of interference-free radio frequency bands for passive use.

30. RAFCAP Radio Astronomy Frequency Committee in the Asia-Pacific region History, Mission • RAFCAP was setup during the AP-RASC meeting, held from 31 July to 4 August, 2001, in Tokyo. • The need for such a committee in the Asia-Pacific has been described in a paper by Dr. M. Ohishi (MS-Word format or Hypertext format). • A charter for RAFCAP was proposed and accepted by the Committee, and governs the operations of this Committee. • The membership of RAFCAP comes from Radio Astronomy and related organisations in the Asia Pacific region. • A summary of RAFCAP's mission and contacts are provided in a "RAFCAP Flyer (2004)" document (MS-Word format). • A list of operating Radio Telescopes in the Asia Pacific region (May 2005) is given in Table 1.
