Coordination of high-frequency broadcasting schedules in the bands allocated to the broadcasting service between 5 900 kHz and 26 100 kHz

that Article 12 establishes the principles and the procedure for use of the frequency bands allocated to the HF broadcasting service between 5 900 kHz and 26 100 kHz;

that the aforementioned principles stipulate, inter alia, that the procedure should promote the development of a voluntary coordination process among administrations to resolve incompatibilities;

that the procedure itself encourages administrations to coordinate their schedules with other administrations as far as possible prior to submission;

that the development of coordination among administrations with the assistance of the Radiocommunication Bureau, when requested, would result in better use of the spectrum allocated to the HF broadcasting service between 5 900 kHz and 26 100 kHz,

that the participation of broadcasting organizations in this coordination process would make the task of resolving incompatibilities easier;

that multilateral coordination of the use of the HF broadcasting bands is already practised on an informal basis in various regional coordination groups,

to promote, as far as possible, regular coordination of their broadcasting schedules within appropriate regional coordination groups of administrations or broadcasting organizations in order to resolve or reduce incompatibilities, through bilateral or multilateral meetings or by correspondence (telephone, facsimile, e-mail, etc.).
