As the first day of CITEL’s PCC II meetings unfolded, a proposal was submitted by the Uruguay administration to form an ad hoc group to review the wording of the IARP permit agreement, considering that several years have elapsed since it was originally written and technology has made significant progress since then, seeking to have a document more in tune with current times.

The proposal was approved and the ad hoc group will have its first meeting in the coming days, in order to establish its members and to define a timeline for its activities.

Hopefully, after reviewed, the IARP will help promote the activity of radio amateurs when visiting other countries that have adhered to the IARP.

Representing IARU-R2 is Secretary Molina, YS1MS, who was appointed chairman of the group. Other colleagues that will participate are Flavio Archangelo, PY2ZX, of LABRE, who is part of the Brazilian delegation, and Jonathan Siverling, WB3ERA, a member of ARRL.
