Proposals
MODEUR/9A20/1
RESOLUTION 18 (Rev.WRC1215)
Relating to the procedure for identifying and announcing the position of
ships and aircraft of States not parties to an armed conflict[1]
The World Radiocommunication Conference (Geneva,20122015),
...
resolves
1that the frequencies for urgency signal and messages specified in the Radio Regulations may be used by ships and aircraft of States not parties to an armed conflict for self-identification and establishing communications. The transmission will consist of the urgency or safety signals, as appropriate, described in Article33 followed by the addition of the single group “NNN” in radiotelegraphy and by the addition of the single word “NEUTRAL” pronounced as in French “neutral” in radiotelephony and if available on board by the addition of the single group “NNN” in radiotelegraphy. As soon as practicable, communications shall be transferred to an appropriate working frequency;
...
4that the identification and location of ships of a State not party to an armed conflict may be effected by means of appropriate standard maritime radar transponders radio equipment (for example AIS, LRIT systems). The identification and location of aircraft of a State not party to an armed conflict may be effected by the use of the secondary surveillance radar (SSR) system in accordance with procedures to be recommended by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO);
Reasons:Modification in accordance with common practice based on current technology.

Measures and studies associated with the equivalent power flux-density (epfd) limits in the band 19.7-20.2GHz
The World Radiocommunication Conference (Geneva,20032015),
considering
...
e)that ITU-R studies reported to this Conference WRC03 considered HEO systems to be a subcategory of nonGSO systems and characterized their operational features;
f)that in the period between WRC2000 and this Conference WRC03, ITUR developed Recommendations concerning frequency sharing between HEO FSS systems and other systems, including GSO, low Earth orbit (LEO), medium Earth orbit (MEO) and HEO systems;

c)that the 19.7-20.2GHz band is one of the few bands identified by this Conference WRC03 on a global basis for high-density applications in the fixed-satellite service,;
d)Recommendation ITURS.1715 “Guidelines developed in response to the studies requested in Resolution140 (WRC03)”,
resolvesto invite ITUR
to develop, during this ITUR study period, criteria which would protect GSO FSS networks in the band 19.7-20.2GHz from unacceptable interference by HEO FSS systems taking account of the combined effect of interference into downlinks of the GSO FSS networks from HEO FSS systems and other nonGSO FSS systems,
resolves to invites administrations
to consider using the relevant ITUR Recommendations regarding the protection of GSO FSS satellite networks from interference by non-GSO FSS systems as a guideline for consultation between administrations, to fulfil their obligations under No.22.2 in the band 19.7-20.2GHz, and in the case where an administration responsible for a non-GSO FSS system requests the application of No.22.5CA,
...
