General considerations
1.
Define your questions precisely, for example:

Which information is lacking so far?

How can I measure the maximum frequency
deviation of FM broadcasting transmitters?

How can I measure GSM coverage? (Impossible!)

But: How can I verify the coverage predictions of
GSM networks?
2.
Elements of a solution

Do you have already a complete proposal?
(You wish to share your knowledge with others)

Do you have at least some elements of a solution?
Vorname Name | Veranstaltung | © Bundesnetzagentur
4
General considerations
3.
May your problem/solution be relevant for other
administrations too?
4.
Is the subject of European or worlwide interest ?
5.
Are there good reasons to start the discussion first
in the ITU and later within the CEPT or vice versa?
6.
Do you propose the development of a Report, of a
Recommendation or both types of deliverables?
7.
Which elements are absolutely essential for you? Is
there room for compromises?

General considerations
Please bear in mind that there is a significant difference
between a Recommendation and a Report.
1.
Recommendations have a higher legal status and
hence a higher commitment.
2.
A Recommendation recommends, e.g. that the
method described in Annex 2 should be used when
the values of the deviation and modulation power
are required.
3.
A Report illustrates a method or a procedure.
Example: The purpose of this Report is to provide
guidance to administrations ... The Annexes to this
Report provide practical examples ...

General considerations
Please don‘t formulate this way:
The ITU Radiocommunication Assembly,
considering
d)
that field-strength or pfd measurements of
unwanted emissions, at locations distant from the
transmitter, are recognized as the direct means of
expressing the intensities of interfering signals due to
such emissions;
recommends
1
that the maximum permissible levels of certain
unwanted emissions defined at the output of
transmitters may, under some circumstances, be
applicable when the measurements are made in free
space.

FM 22 – ECC Recommendation

ECC Recommendations are measures that national
Administrations are encouraged to apply.

They are principally intended as harmonisation
measures for those matters where ECC Decisions are
not yet relevant, or as guidance to national
Administrations.
Vorname Name | Veranstaltung | © Bundesnetzagentur
8
FM 22 – ECC Recommendation

Input documents for FM 22 and other groups should
be sent in due time before the meeting to the
Secretary and to the Chairman.

Draft ECC Recommendation (yy)xx on Determination
of the radiated power through field strength
measurements in the frequency range from 400 MHz
to 6000 MHz or

Working document towards a Draft New ECC
Recommendation on ....

9
FM 22 – ECC Recommendation

Introduction of the document by the submitting
administration

Discussion in the FM 22 plenary

Detailed discussion in a drafting group

Output of the drafting group is a TEMP document

Discussion of the TEMP document in the FM 22
plenary

FM 22 – ECC Recommendation
Possible decisions of FM 22:

a) The TEMP document will be annexed to the
minutes of the meeting. Additional input for the next
meeting is expected.

b) Same procedure as a). In addition, a
correspondence group is installed to facilitate close
co-operation between the meetings.

c) The document is considered to be stable. The
TEMP document will be annexed to the minutes of
the meeting and the Chairman will forward the
document as an input document to the next WG FM
meeting.

d) No further treatment of the subject.

11
FM 22 – ECC and CEPT Reports

CEPT Reports are technical studies carried out by the
ECC under mandates from the European
Commission. These studies give results that are
typically used as the technical basis of EC Decisions
on spectrum policy matters.
This case is normally not an issue in FM 22.

ECC Reports are the result of studies by the ECC.
They are developed in support of ECC Decisions, ECC
Recommendations or European Common Positions
(ECPs) adopted on a voluntary basis by European
countries at World Radiocommunication Conferences.

Treatment of Draft ECC Reports within FM 22 is the
same procedure as for ECC Recommendations.

FM 22 – ECC and CEPT Reports
ECC Report 136
PRACTICAL CONSIDERATIONS REGARDING REMOTE
MONITORING STATIONS, Kyiv, October 2009
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This report provides practical experiences related to
designing, establishing, operating, maintaining and
decommissioning remote unmanned monitoring stations.
The intention of this report is to share the knowledge gained
by countries operating remote monitoring stations between
themselves and also with countries that are in the process of
building up a remote network.

WG FM – ECC deliverables

Draft ECC Recommendations and Reports submitted
by the relevant Project Team are discussed in WG FM
in a similar way as described above.

A draft ECC Recommendation or ECC Report agreed
by WG FM for Public Consultation shall be notified to
Members by the Office using e-mail.

Public Consultation is carried out during a minimum
period of six weeks. If needed, the duration of the
public consultation can be extended.

WG FM shall consider the results of the Public
Consultation when approving the draft
Recommendation.

14
WG FM – ECC deliverables

If no agreement can be reached, WG FM shall
present the draft Recommendation to the Plenary
together with the comments received. The Plenary
shall decide on the approval of the Recommendation,
preferably by consensus.

The final text of the ECC Recommendation shall be
included as an annex to the Minutes of the meeting
at which it is approved, published in the
documentation area of the Office website and may
be sent to ETSI.

ITU-R WP 1C

The process in ITU-R Working Party 1C is very
similar to the process in CEPT WG FM PT 22.

The first input document could be a Working
Document towards a draft NeW Question.

QUESTION ITU-R 235/1
Spectrum monitoring evolution (2011)
The ITU Radiocommunication Assembly,
considering
a)
that spectrum monitoring is a key element of spectrum
management;
b)
that radiocommunication technologies and systems are in a
constant and rapid evolution;
h)
;
Vorname Name | Veranstaltung | © Bundesnetzagentur
17
ITU-R WP 1C
decides that the following Questions should be studied
1
What are the new considerations for monitoring of
radiocommunication systems that are based on new technologies?
2
What are the new approaches that may be required in
terms of organisation, procedures and equipment to monitor
systems based on future radiocommunication technologies?
3
What are the needs for administrations in order to
implement the new approaches to monitor systems based on future
radiocommunication technologies?
further decides
1
that the results of the above studies shall be included in (a)
Recommendation(s) and/or (a) Report(s);
2
that the above studies should be completed by 2013.

Discussion of the input documents , improvements
by Working Groups within the WP 1C meeting, TEMP
Document to be attached to the Chairman‘s report,
possibly installation of a Correspondence Group or
Rapporteurs Group.

Probably not at the first meeting, approval of the
Preliminary Draft New Recommendation ITU-R
SM.[title] by the WP 1C plenary and submission as

ITU-R SG 1

Discussion of the input document , improvements by
the WP 1C Chairman, TEMP Document.

There are different procedures applicable for the
adoption and approval of a Draft Recommendation or
Draft Revision of a Recommendation. Time can be
saved by applying the procedure for simultaneous
adoption and approval by correspondence.

Administrations are informed via Administrative
Circular letters, e.g. CACE/578.

 Make them available for all interested colleagues.
 Cosider storing relevant deliverables on your
server.
 Transfer them in detailed, national work
procedures in your own language!
