ng the world. The ITU organizes conferences to provide opportunities to learn more about specific topics, and workshops to exchange ideas and innovations. The outcomes of these workshops become inputs to what are called study groups (SG). The standardization work is carried out by the technical SGs, in which delegates from the ITU membership develop and approve specifications, or what the ITU calls recommendations. The ITU focuses on three main sectors: the Radiocommunication Sector (ITU-R); the Telecommu- nication Standardization Sector (ITU-T); and the Telecommunication Development Sector (ITU-D). 4.1.1 ITU-R The ITU Radiocommunication Sector ensures the rational, efficient, and economical use of radio spectrum and satellite orbits by facilitating international collaboration. Its activities include the following: Conducts conferences and seminars to adopt radio regulations and regional agreements for effi- cient use of radio frequency spectrum Coordinates activities to eliminate radio interference between radio stations of different countries Maintains the Master International Frequency Register (MIFR) Carries out studies and collates recommendations on radiocommunication matters Approves recommendations, technical characteristics or specifications, and operational proced- ures developed by ITU-R study groups Use of the terms "master" and "slave" is ONLY in association with the official terminology used in industry specifications and standards, and in no way diminishes Pearson's commitment to promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion, and challenging, countering, and/or combating bias and stereotyping in the global population of the learners we serve. The ITU-R organizes world radiocommunication conferences (WRC) to review and revise the Ra- dio Regulations-the international treaty governing regional or national radio frequency spectrum and satellite orbits. It also organizes regional radiocommunication conferences (RRC) to establish regional agreements and plans for radio-based services. Based on the decision
