Introduction
The Radiocommunication Assembly (RA-2000) held in Istanbul from 1 to 5 May 2000, decided to
merge the former Study Group 10 (Broadcasting service – sound) and Study Group 11
(Broadcasting service – television) in a new Study Group 6 (Broadcasting services) (see Resolution
ITU-R 4-3). The scope of Study Group 6 appearing in this Resolution can be found in Annex 1 to
this Circular. The interim structure of Study Group 6 can be found in Annex 2 to this Circular.
The meetings of Working Parties were foreseen in the programme of the Radiocommunication
Study Groups by the meeting of Study Group Chairpersons and Vice-Chairpersons held on 6 and
8 June 2000. The possible re-allocation of Questions assigned by the RA-2000 to Study Group 6
(see Resolution ITU-R 5-3) is listed in Annex 3.

Programme of meetings
In accordance with Resolution ITU-R 1-3, the Working Parties study assigned ITU-R Questions and
will prepare draft ITU-R Recommendations, progress reports and other texts for consideration by
Study Group 6. Preliminary draft agendas for the above-mentioned meetings are contained in
Annex 4.
3.1
Preparation of draft new or revised Recommendations to be adopted according to
§10.2.2 of Resolution ITU-R 1-3
Draft new or revised Recommendations prepared during the meetings of Working Parties 6D, 6E,
6M, 6P, 6Q, 6R and 6S held immediately prior to the Study Group, will be submitted to the Study
Group. Immediately after the Study Group meeting, these draft Recommendations will be circulated
for consideration to all administrations and other organizations participating in the work of Study
Group 6 (§10.2.2.3). The Study Group consideration period shall extend for at least two months
following the circulation of the draft Recommendations and shall end after the texts of the draft
Recommendations have been available in the working languages for at least four weeks. If no
objections from Members are received in the Study Group consideration period, the procedure of
approval (§ 10.3) will be initiated. Should any unresolved objection from Members remain, the text
will either be submitted to the next Radiocommunication Assembly or, if appropriate, referred back
to the relevant Study Group/Working Party/Task Group for further study.

Contributions
Contributions in response to the work of the Working Parties are invited. These will be processed
according to the provisions laid down in Resolution ITU-R 1-3. One copy of each contribution
should be sent to the Secretariat, Radiocommunication Bureau for processing. Contributions should
also be sent to the Chairpersons of the relevant Working Party and to the Chairperson and
Vice-Chairpersons of Study Group 6. The pertinent addresses can be found in Annex 5 to this
circular. Participants are encouraged to submit contributions by electronic mail to:
catherine.laurent@itu.int
Documents received up to six weeks in advance of the meeting are dispatched, as far as possible,
before the meeting in their original language. Later contributions, received up to seven days in
advance of the meeting, are made available at the opening of the meeting in the original working
language and, if possible, in English. The Secretariat cannot guarantee that documents received after
the seven-day limit can be made available for the opening of the meeting. Resolution ITU R 1-3
provides that contributions which are not available to participants at the opening of the meeting shall
not be considered.

Participation
The intended participation of your representative(s) should be advised not later than one month
before the opening of the meeting, by means of the annexed form (Annex 6) (to be photocopied as
required). For hotel accommodation see Administrative Circular CA/61 dated 16 February 1999.

ANNEX 1
STUDY GROUP 6
(BROADCASTING SERVICES)
Scope
Radiocommunication broadcasting (terrestrial and satellite), including vision, sound, multimedia
and data services principally intended for delivery to the general public.
Broadcasting makes use of point-to-everywhere information delivery to widely available consumer
receivers. When return channel capacity is required (e.g. for access control, interactivity, etc.),
broadcasting typically uses an asymmetrical distribution infrastructure that allows high capacity
information delivery to the public with lower capacity return link to the service provider. The
production and distribution of programs (vision, sound, multimedia, data, etc.) may employ
contribution circuits among studios, information gathering circuits (ENG, SNG, etc.), primary
distribution to delivery nodes, and secondary distribution to consumers.
The Study Group, recognizing that radiocommunication broadcasting extends from the production
of programmes to their delivery to the general public, as detailed above, studies those aspects
related to production and radiocommunication, including the international exchange of programs as
well as the overall quality of service.
