CEPT
The CEPT Conference Preparatory Group has held its first meeting in Paris, 20-22 February, focusing on decisions concerning the structure and process of WRC-11 preparation. CPG is chaired by Eric Fournier () with two vice Chairmen, Steve Bond () and Georges Drossos ().
CPG decided to establish four project teams dealing with the following scopes and agenda item, and designated four project team chairmen as indicated in the table.

For almost each agenda items, CPG has designated a CEPT coordinator. The list of CEPT coordinator is given in annex 1.
Several times during the CPG meeting, the importance of cooperation with other regional organizations was stressed in order to identify and hopefully solve divergence of views in advance to WRC-11. Representatives of other regional organization in meetings of CPG and of its project teams are welcome and will be invited to provide the views of these organizations on each agenda item.
The meeting schedule for the CPG and its Project Teams is as follows :
3-4 April 2008 PT C Copenhagen, Denmark
7-8 April 2008 PT D Copenhagen, Denmark
