 Welcome to the ITU Plenipotentiary Conference 2022 here in Bucharest, Romania. We've got the great pleasure of being joined in the studio today by Tariq Alamri, who is the chair of the Radio Regulations Board for ITU. Tariq, welcome to the studio. Thank you, my pleasure, Maas. Thank you. Now, we're going to take this opportunity to talk about the Radio Regulations Board, RRB, as it's known for short, and about its role and also its competition. Yeah, the Radio Regulations Board is a vital body within the ITU structure, as you know that ITU is divided into three main sectors, the radio communication sector, the standardization and the development. The Board plays a key role in achieving, let me say, the main objective of the radio communication sector, which is the global management of radio spectrum resources and orbital resources. Really, the Board, as I said, plays a key role in this area to ensure efficient use of the spectrum, but at the same time to ensure the interference-free operation by all radio communication services, by all member states at an international level. Really, the Board is performing its duty through the implementation of the radio regulations. The radio regulation is one of the ITU instruments that complement the ITU basic text, the constitution and the convention. The radio regulation is one of the international binding treaties for all member states, it's governing the use of the radio spectrum and orbital resources with respect to the use by all member states, but at the same time it defines the rights and obligation by all member states in using these resources. It is a very important treaty and also one thing interesting about this treaty that it is evolving with time. It's not like other compared to other treaties. As you know at each WRC that this treaty is refuted and revised to allow deployment of new technologies in different radio communication services, but at the same time ensure protection of the existing services. This is in brief the role of the BR, the radio regulation board. Related to your question about the structure of the board, the board composed of 12 elected members, experts in the field of radio communication and spectrum management. They are representing five geographic regions and they are elected at the Blenny Potentiary Conference together with the senior management team, together with the ITU council member state. As I said they are elected during the Blenny Potentiary Conference for four years term. This is related to the structure. Regarding the chair and the first chair of the board, they are elected by the board members on annual basis. The chair and first chair, the board members elect their chair on annual basis for each year. You have been with the RRB for a number of years now. How do you tell us a little bit about its mandate and also the way the decisions are taken? The mandate and duties of the radio regulation board is contained in the constitution, convention and regulations, which include approving the role of the procedure which complements the radio regulation provisions and also considering appeals against radio communication bureau decision. We also consider case of non-resolved harmful interference and we provide recommendation to resolve those cases. And also the board provide recommendation to different ITU conference like the WRC radio assembly and also for the Blenny Potentiary Conference. And also the board consider cases which cannot be resolved by the existing radio regulation provisions and we are taking decision regarding them. This is related to the mandate. Regarding your question about how the board takes its decision, the decision of the board is taken according to the working method in the convention of the ITU. Let me say most of the decision of the board is taken by consensus, by all board members. But if there is any case that the board cannot reach this consensus, there is a approach to, let me say, to take which is, no decision can be followed by the board unless two-thirds of the board member fought in favour of that decision. This is, let me say, if there is no consensus. But according to my memory, all of the decision taken by the board by consensus, yes. Excellent. And you mentioned feeding into the work of the Blenny Potentiary Conference. Perhaps you could tell us a little bit about what's happening here at PP22 and of the work of the RRB here. Yeah. As I said, one of the duties of the board that it is verified recommendation for different ITU conference. So we are participating in the Blenny Potentiary Conference with advisory capacity. Two board members designated by the board, me and my distinguished colleagues, Madame Lilian from Netherland. We are representing the Radio Regulation Board at this Blenny Potentiary Conference. We are really following the issues with the radio related aspect that is related to the radio. Most of them really related to the space services. We have participated in the development of the new resolution related to the Article 48 of the constitution, which let me say extend the mandate of the board so they can have the authority to deal with the cases where Article 48 invoked. And we have also involved in the discussion related to the modification of Resolution 119, which is related to the methods and to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the RRB. Also, the board highlighted its effort when related to the resolution related to the space sustainability. We highlighted our current efforts really in that area and our plan to include this important issue about the space sustainability in our report, which will be submitted to the next WRC, WRC 2023. We also include monitoring with different issues related to the space, for example, the ITU role in the implementation of the Space Agenda 2030 and also the confidence-building major and outer space activities. This is, let me say, a brief of our role, our issue of interest at this planning potential conference. Excellent. WRC 2023, which is taking place in Dubai next year. It's going to be a very busy time, I'm sure, for RRB and for the rest of the radio communication sector. But thank you very much for joining us in the studio today. Thank you. I just want, before I close Max, I want to let me say take this opportunity. As you know, by the end of this year, my role will end as a board member. It was really a great honour for me serving ITU as elected board member for the last four years and as elected chair for the current year. I want to thank the ITU for recognising my contribution to support the ITU activities. I want to thank all member states for their trust in me, with a special thanks to the Arab regional group really. I want also to express my sincere gratitude and appreciation to the Government of Kingdom, Saudi Arabia Ministry of Communication and Information Technology for all empowerment and support provided to me to fulfil my duties. With full respect to my status as a board member, I want to thank my colleagues distinguished board member for their spirit of cooperation, commitment which had enabled us to take a decision for difficult issues really. Last but not least, I want to thank my family really. I know I have created a lot of trouble for them because of my repeated absence. I am really so grateful for their patience. Thank you very much. Thank you. Well, thank you for sharing all those words with us and those valuable insights and wish you all the best for the future. Thanks so much indeed. Thank you.
