Panel Discussion Suggested
topics include: ·
Possible
new organizational links and collaborations ·
Do
we need an ITU-R definition of passive service? ·
Forthcoming
WRC-07 and WRC-10 agenda items, and how to prepare common positions for
them (e.g. FSS at 1.4 GHz, protection of the submm bands 275-1000 GHz) ·
Outreach:
how to make the best case for the passive bands and how to raise
awareness of the issues so that everyone knows what is at stake
·
Policy
statement or press release to be issued by workshop?
16.00-16.30 COFFEE
BREAK 16.30
