Opening of the meeting:
Chris Woolford, the ECC Chair opened the meeting by welcoming the delegates to the 64th Electronic Communication Committee Plenary meeting being held in hybrid format in Kristiansand, Norway and online, by kind invitation of the Norwegian Communications Authority (Nkom). Mr John-Eivind Velure, acting Director General at the Norwegian Communications Authority, warmly welcomed the ECC participants attending the 64th ECC Plenary meeting in Kristiansand. He mentioned there are important issues on the agenda. Mr. Velure stated that harmonising frequency bands across Europe is crucial and that we must collaborate to use spectrum efficiently, prevent interference, and drive wireless innovation. CEPT and ECC plays a very important role in this work and for spectrum harmonisation and standardisation across Europe. This can actually be seen in the meetings response on the White paper on “How to master Europe’s digital infrastructure needs?”. Mr. Velure highlighted though, that local needs need to be cherished. For the regulation of the 26 GHz band, despite the apparent demand in 2018, there is now limited interest for the band in 2024. Still, in Norway they plan to award the band later this year, and it will be interesting to see the mobile operators’ interest in deploying millimetre wave base stations. Mr. Velure mentioned also that Nkom has been a longstanding participant in the work of WG NaN within ECC and has established a national expert group (including relevant police authorities) to combat fraud in electronic communications. Several measures to fight fraud are either already in place or are currently being implemented. In addition, Nkom was pleased to join and coordinate the establishment of the Global Informal Regulatory Antifraud Forum (GIRAF). Initiated in Norway this past March, the forum now includes 24 countries and continues to grow. The work of emergency communications is also relevant for ECC WG NaN. NaN3 has been a key source of information and harmonizing measures on several lifesaving topics, such as Advanced Mobile Location systems, Roaming SMS to emergency numbers and next generation emergency communications. Last but not least, Mr. Velure noted that in Norway they have licenced local wireless broadband systems in the 3.8 – 4.2 GHz band for a while now. The Norwegian government have tasked Nkom to promote the collection and sharing of experiences among industry verticals. This will result in a governmental report on the adoption of 5G in industry in early 2025. Mr Woolford thanked Mr Velure for his kind words and for the invitation to Kristiansand. The list of participants is given in Annex15. The information on the MeetingHub available on the ECO WIKI pages and on the meeting Netiquette was noted. Adoption of the Agenda, Schedule of work: The ECC Chair informed the meeting about the latest revision of the draft agenda and meeting schedule. It was noted that the meeting schedule is indicative and will be adjusted according to meeting progress. The meeting adopted the agenda as given in Annex14. During the meeting it was noted that the proposed deadline for the ECC deliverables approved for public consultation at this meeting is the 19 August 2024. The date was briefly discussed considering that there wasn’t the usual time constraint for the deadline due to the summer period. The ECC agreed with the proposed public consultation closing date and noted that the ECO would be tasked to publish all the ECC deliverables following final approval by the ECC Plenary. Procedure for appointment of Chairmen: The ECC Chair noted that the WG SE Chair and the ECC Chair positions are due for appointment at the next ECC Plenary meeting in November 2024. In accordance with RoP Article 9, the call for nominations will be sent out following the meeting. The deadline will be set about one month before the November 2024 ECC plenary meeting.
Reports on ECC and other activities:
Minutes of the 63rd Steering Group meeting: The ECC Chair referred to the minutes of the 63rd ECC Steering Group (SG) meeting in document ECC(24)029 and noted that the SG went through the issues for this ECC meeting. The Chair noted some topics from the SG minutes such as the 6G roadmap, the overview of ECC activities related to satellite issues and the next iteration of the ECC strategic plan. He also mentioned that there will be an editorial update on gender neutral language of the ECC Rules of Procedures and Working Methods, to bring it in line with other CEPT groups like COM-ITU and ECO Council. This will be picked up by the ECO office. Following the discussion from the last ECC plenary, the SG also had a discussion on physical meeting attendance. The SG noted there is an issue that physical attendance sometimes has to be restricted due to meeting room restricted capacity, but this happened only to a minority of the (larger) ECC meetings. The SG concluded that the issue is best for chairs of the larger groups to solve on a case-by-case basis, with help from the ECO office. The SG also had a brief discussion about references in ECC Deliverables, and it was noted that there is no issue with mentioning references to EC deliverables in the CEPT Reports. The CPG Chair noted a revision with minor update to the CPG section in the SG minutes, which is now uploaded, document ECC(24)029R1. In the discussion that followed in the ECC meeting, attention was paid to several aspects related to physical participation, such as preference or not for administrations over LoU partners and industry in physical participation, the benefits of physical participation, hosting the bigger ECC groups with bigger meeting rooms, and industry participation in administration delegations. The ECC Chair recognised that many of these aspects were considered in the fairly long discussion in the SG meeting as well. There is no doubt that stakeholder participation is of essence to the work of ECC groups. There is no single answer that can be applied to all of the groups and therefore giving discretion to the chairs to determine how to deal in each case seems to be the best approach. ECC noted the Steering Group minutes. The Chair further informed the meeting that there is no reset of implementation dates foreseen and that the deadline for responses to documents which go out for Public Consultation from this ECC meeting will be 19th August 2024.
Minutes of the ECC-EC meeting (13 June 2024):
The ECC Chair referred to the Minutes of the ECC-EC Consultation meeting in document ECC(24)030. The different topics will be discussed under their respective agenda items. ECC noted the ECC-EC Consultation meeting minutes.
ECO Bulletin on on-going/new issues in other regions or organisations:
The ECO referred to the ECO Bulletin in document ECC(24)031. The Bulletin (edition: June 2024) addresses the various relevant activities in radio communications and numbering in other regions outside CEPT, where a regulatory dimension is raised. Information on global developments which are seen as being of interest to ECC, were also mentioned. Furthermore, the ECO highlighted that the Bulletin will also be presented and discussed at the subordinate ECC WG/PT group.
