DEPARTMENT OF STATE

[Public Notice 2566]


United States International Telecommunications Advisory Committee 
(ITAC) Ad Hoc on ITU Policy Forum (GMPCS); Meeting Notice

    The Department of State announces a meeting, under the U.S. 
International Telecommunications Advisory Committee (ITAC), of its Ad 
Hoc Group on the ITU Policy Forum on GMPCS (held in Geneva, October 
1996). The meeting will be held Friday, July 11, 1997, at 9:30 a.m. in 
Room 847 of the Federal Communications Commission, 1919 M Street, NW, 
Washington, D.C. This late notice was necessitated by the urgent need 
to seek advice on U.S. positions for re-scheduled international 
meetings.
    The purpose of the meeting is to review and consider the follow-up 
activities relating to the 1996 Policy Forum on Global Mobile Personal 
Communications by Satellite (GMPCS). Primary focus will be given to 
Opinion No. 4 (Establishment of an MOU to Facilitate the Free 
Circulation of GMPCS) and Opinion No. 5 (Implementation of GMPCS in 
Developing Countries). The working group chairpersons will report on 
past and upcoming national and international activities related to the 
two Opinions. The meeting of the Ad Hoc Group, which will be as brief 
as possible, will be followed immediately in the same location by a 
meeting of the Working Group on Opinion No. 4 (GMPCS-MOU). Questions 
regarding the agenda or Ad Hoc activities in general may be directed to 
Gary Fereno, Department of State (202-647-0200).
    Members of the general public may attend the meetings and join in 
the discussions, subject to the instructions of the chair. Participants 
in the meeting should comply with any entry conditions established by 
the FCC.

    Dated: June 27, 1997.
Richard E. Shrum,
ITAC Executive Director.
