We welcome new chairs for ECC and WGSE! We are delighted to inform that Christiane Seifert (BNetzA, D) was appointed as the new Chair of the Electronic Communications Committee (ECC). Likewise, Ivica Stevanovic (BAKOM, CH) was appointed as the new Chair of the Working Group Spectrum Engineering (WGSE). Christiane and Ivica have many years of experience having served as Vice Chairs in their respective groups and we are fully confident being in excellent hands for leading the ECC and WGSE into the future. We look forward to their continued leadership and the positive impact they will undoubtedly have. We express our sincere thanks to the outgoing chairs Chris Woolford (Ofcom, UK) and Jerome Andre (ANFR, F) for their outstanding leadership, efforts and achievements. The ECC develops common policies and regulations in electronic communications and related applications for Europe and is a focal point for information on spectrum use. Our primary objective is to harmonise the efficient use of the radio spectrum, satellite orbits and numbering resources across Europe. We take an active role at the international level, preparing common European proposals to represent European interests in international organisations, especially in the ITU. The WG SE is responsible for developing technical guidelines and sharing and compatibility arrangements for radio spectrum use by various radiocommunications services using the same or different frequency bands respectively.

CEPT at WTSA-24: New Resolution on the provision of handset-derived caller location information for emergency communications   We are pleased to inform that the ITU WTSA-24 Plenary has formally adopted the new ITU-T Resolution initiated by the European region on ‘Provision of handset-derived caller location information for emergency communications’. The adoption of technical solutions for the establishment and transmission of handset-derived location information for emergency communications is having a significant positive impact on public safety in countries where such solutions have already been implemented. This Resolution calls on ITU-T to raise awareness of the availability of such technical solutions, to develop operational recommendations for their deployment and to encourage their adoption across all ITU Member States.   We express our sincere appreciation to all delegations and regional organisations present at WTSA for the excellent cooperation.

We are proud to share that CEPT is recognised as a leading region for female participation at WTSA! This is part of the Network of Women for WTSA-24’s mission to empower women in the standardisation and ICT sector. Further information about the network is available here: https://lnkd.in/dktJ9MZs
