About Event

The 6th Meeting of the Conference Preparatory Group for WRC-23 (APG-6) will be held in Brisbane, Australia, from August 14th to August 19th, 2023, and the deadline for submission of contributions to the APG-6 meeting from administrations is August 7th, 2023.

Asia-Pacific Telecommunity (APT) has invited contributions for APG-6 meetings from administrations on various WRC-23 agenda items and issues related to RA-23, if any, to finalize the preliminary APT Common Proposals (PACPs). This will be the final APG meeting before WRC-23, which will take place in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, from November 20 to December 15, 2023.

To facilitate efficient preparation of input contributions by the Indian administration, IAFI will hold its 6th preparatory workshop for WRC-23 on July 13 and 14, 2023. This workshop has been planned to discuss these contributions and arrive at a consensus industry draft for submission to the Indian Administration. This workshop will also focus on an overview of WRC-23 preparatory activities, and satellite services at WRC-23, along with the future agenda items for WRC-27.
