The General Accounting
Office (GAO) in Telecommunications: Better
Coordination and Enhanced Accountability Needed to Improve Spectrum
Management (GAO-02-096), recommends that the State Department,
Federal Communications Commission (FCC)
and the National Telecommunications and Information Administration
(NTIA) "jointly review
the adequacy of the preparation process following the 2003 World
Radiocommunication
Conference (WRC) and develop recommendations for improvements." Since
the conclusion of
the 2003 WRC, NTIA has held meetings with the FCC and the State
Department to discuss
GAO's recommendations. NTIA initiated staff review and federal agency
review of its own
internal WRC preparatory process, including the Radio Conference
Subcommittee (RCS) of the
Interdepartment Radio Advisory Committee (IRAC). Similarly, the FCC
initiated a review of its
internal processes used to prepare for the 2003 WRC and assessed
whether the process could be
improved. NTIA is currently
conducting an overall review of the entire conference preparatory
process and how the current process can be improved or modified. NTIA
requested the views of the industry and the public
in comments to be filed by November 24, 2003.
