• Whom do the SGs comprise? Estimated that 򗮼 persons from the ITU membership attend SGs and their subordinate groups on a regular basis

• What do the SGs actually do? The fist major task is to prepare the technical bases for WRCs; conferences require technical information, data and advice on which to base regulatory decisions and it is the SGs who provide such material for the conferences to consider in their deliberations

• Secondly, the SGs prepare Recommendations – those authoritative texts which provide technical information and guidance on radiocommunication systems, their operation and the associated spectrum issues

• Thirdly, put together handbooks – increasing interest over the past decade or so - particularly as tutorial aids for developing countries.
