5. Agenda Item 1.1 Deletion of country footnotes
ISSUE
Country footnotes in aeronautical bands may result in harmful interference and could lead to inefficient use of aeronautical spectrum.
Allocations to the aeronautical services are generally made for all ITU Regions and normally on an exclusive basis. These principles reflect the global process of standardization within ICAO for the promotion of safety and to support the global interoperability of radiocommunication and radionavigation equipment used in civil aircraft. In some instances, however, footnotes to the ITU Table of Frequency Allocations allocate spectrum in one or more countries to other radio services in addition or alternatively to the aeronautical service to which the same spectrum is allocated in the body of the table.
To simplify the radio regulations and to accommodate globalization ITU-R has taking the general approach to request administrations to reduce the national footnotes.

10. Agenda item 1.3: ICAO position
Support upgrade Radio Location Services if studies show no interference
Only extension with 200 MHz for research and exploration if no effect on aviation
Accept the upgrading of the radiolocation service to primary status in the bands 9   200 MHz and 9 300 ‑ 9 500 MHz, subject to positive results of the studies in ITU-R, on the express condition that no harmful interference is caused to the aeronautical radionavigation service and the radionavigation service and that no protection is required from these radionavigation services.
Any suggestions for the sharing of radionavigation band 9   500 MHz with EESS and SRS under this agenda item can only be considered on the basis of agreed studies, which take into account the present and expected future use of the band by aviation, and the constraints applied to this use. An allocation to EESS and SRS shall not cause harmful interference to, not claim protection from, or otherwise impose constraints on the operation and future development of the radionavigation service in the band 9   500 MHz.
No change to Footnotes 5.337, 5.427, and Footnote can be deleted since the date indicated has expired.

11. Agenda Item 1.5: Aeronautical Telecommand and high bit-rate Telemetry
Issue(s)
Additional Allocation for Telemetry and maintaining present allocation-Interference
Accommodation of Unmanned Airborne Vehicles (UAVs)-Interference/Integrity
WP 10
The development of modern aircraft requires a large test flight programme. These programmes are required to gather a large amount of data on the performance of the airframe under test. By providing a real-time link between the aircraft and the ground control centre, the amount of testing and the number of flights can be kept to a minimum. This will result in faster development programmes and hence achieve a significant cost saving. This agenda item seeks to make provision for the required air-ground telemetry link
60 MHz needed being allocated from the band 3-30 GHZ
The potential introduction of UAVs into controlled airspace is an important development within aviation. Further, in order to allow UAVs to be fully integrated safely into controlled airspace it is essential that suitable safety of life air ground datalinks, within the frequency range 3 – 30 GHz, are provided.

ICAO position
Aeronautical usage needs to be protected from harmful interference.
This agenda item seeks to complete the studies undertaken in response to Agenda Item 1.16 of WRC-2003 on feeder links for non-geostationary satellite systems. Studies completed to date have shown that there are significant difficulties with an allocation to the fixed-satellite service in this frequency range, in particular if existing (passive) services are to be afforded protection from these feeder links. Of concern to aviation is that the allocation to the radionavigation service in Footnote is protected from harmful interference. It is also necessary to secure protection from harmful interference of the band 1   535 MHz. Footnotes and are stipulating the use of this band for aeronautical telemetry in some countries.
5.338 In Azerbaijan, Mongolia, Kyrgyzstan, Slovakia, the Czech Rep., Romania and Turkmenistan, existing installations of the radionavigation service may continue to operate in the band 1 350-1 400 MHz.     (WRC-03)
5.342 Additional allocation:  in Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Bulgaria, the Russian Federation, Uzbekistan, Kyrgystan and Ukraine, the band 1 429-1 535 MHz is also allocated to the aeronautical mobile service on a primary basis exclusively for the purposes of aeronautical telemetry within the national territory. As of 1 April 2007, the use of the band 1 452-1 492 MHz is subject to agreement between the administrations concerned. (WRC‑2000) 
5.343 In Region 2, the use of the band 1 435-1 535 MHz by the aeronautical mobile service for telemetry has priority over other uses by the mobile service

15. Agenda Item 1.20: Earth Exploration Satellite Service Protection
Issue
Protect Earth Exploration Satellite Service
System effected
Radar operating below 1400 MHz
ICAO position
Protection of the Earth exploration-satellite service should not impose undue constraints.
The Earth exploration-satellite service (passive) operates in the frequency band 1 400 – 1 427 MHz and is seeking protection from active services in the adjacent bands.
Of concern to aviation is that the band below 1 400 MHz is used by the aeronautical radionavigation service (radar) through Footnotes and and their operations should not be unduly constrained. The use of the band 1  MHz for aeronautical telemetry is regulated through Footnotes and for aeronautical telemetry and this usage should not be adversely affected by the wish to improve protection to the Earth exploration-satellite service.
5.334 Additional allocation:  in Canada and the United States, the band 1 350-1 370 MHz is also allocated to the aeronautical radionavigation service on a primary basis.     (WRC-03)

Issue
Radio Astronomy Seeking protection
System effected
GNSS
ICAO position
Protection of the radio astronomy service in the band 1   613.8 MHz should not impose undue constraints.
The radio astronomy service uses frequencies in the band 1   613.8 MHz and is seeking protection from active services in the adjacent bands.
Of concern to aviation is that the near adjacent band 1   610 MHz is used by the radionavigation satellite service for GNSS (GPS, GLONASS and the future Galileo system) and their operations should not be unduly constrained.
