The Radio Regulations Board (RRB) is a part-time body
comprising 12 members (or 6% of the total number of ITU Member States, whichever
is the greater) representing the world's five regions (Americas, Western Europe,
Eastern Europe, Africa, Asia and Australasia).
It is the Board's job to approve the Rules of Procedure, which
include technical criteria used by the Radiocommunication Bureau in the
application of the Radio Regulations, to consider matters that could not
be resolved by the application of the Radio Regulations or existing Rules of
Procedure, to consider reports by the Bureau on investigation of cases of
harmful interference, and to formulate recommendations for resolution of such
interference. If agreement cannot be reached between an administration and the
Board on a Rule of Procedure, the matter is submitted to a world
radiocommunication conference for ruling. The Radio Regulations Board also
provides advice to radiocommunication conferences and radiocommunication
assemblies, and may perform any additional duties relating to the assignment and
utilization of frequencies and the use of the satellite orbits, if they fall
within the competence of ITU-R. The 12 RRB members are elected by the
Plenipotentiary Conference for a term of four years.
