Among the more than 2700 attendees will be the IARU WRC-07 core team headed by IARU President Larry Price, W4RA, and including IARU Vice President Tim Ellam, VE6SH; IARU Secretary David Sumner, K1ZZ; IARU Region 2 President Reinaldo Leandro, YV5AMH; Ken Pulfer, VE3PU; Paul Rinaldo, W4RI, and Hans Zimmermann, HB9AQS/F5VKP.

While most of the 28 agenda items under consideration at WRC-07 do not directly affect Amateur Radio, several proposals of particular interest to radio amateurs will be considered during the four weeks of the conference. Heading the list is the possibility of a new, secondary allocation to the Amateur Service just above 5 MHz.
