DEPARTMENT OF STATE

[Public Notice 5742]

 
Meeting of Advisory Committee on International Communications and 
Information Policy

    The Department of State announces the next meeting of its Advisory 
Committee on International Communications and Information Policy 
(ACICIP) to be held on April 19, 2007, from 10 a.m. to 12 Noon, in the 
Dean Acheson Auditorium of the Harry S. Truman Building of the U.S. 
Department of State. The Truman Building is located at 2201 C Street, 
NW., Washington, DC 20520.
    The committee provides a formal channel for regular consultation 
and coordination on major economic, social and legal issues and 
problems in international communications and information policy, 
especially as these issues and problems involve users of information 
and communications services, providers of such services, technology 
research and development, foreign industrial and regulatory policy, the 
activities of international organizations with regard to communications 
and information, and developing country issues.
    The meeting will be led by ACICIP Chair Mr. Richard E. Wiley of 
Wiley Rein LLP. Ambassador David A. Gross, Deputy Assistant Secretary 
and U.S. Coordinator for International Communications and Information 
Policy, and other senior U.S. Government officials will address the 
meeting.
    The main focus of this meeting will be to discuss the U.S. 
preparations, including formation of the U.S. delegation, for the 2007 
World Radiocommunication Conference (WRC-07) that will take place in 
Geneva, Switzerland, October 22-November 16, 2007. WRC-07 will meet to 
consider proposals to revise the international Radio Regulations 
including the Table of Frequency Allocations, technical provisions such 
as power limits, and regulatory provisions such as coordination 
procedures for satellite network frequency assignment. Department 
officials will also report on certain Digital Freedom Initiative 
activities that have taken place from January 1, 2007.

ACICIP. Submissions regarding an event, consultation, meeting, etc.
