World Radiocommunication Conference
The World Radiocommunication Conference is a conference organized by the ITU to review and, as necessary, revise the Radio Regulations, the international treaty governing the use of the radio-frequency spectrum as well as geostationary and non-geostationary satellite orbits. It is held every three to four years. Prior to 1993, it was called the World Administrative Radio Conference ; in 1992, at an Additional Plenipotentiary Conference in Geneva, the ITU was restructured, and later conferences became the WRC.
At the 2015 conference, the ITU deferred their decision on whether to abolish the leap second to 2023.
The most recent World Radio Communication Conference took place from 20 November to 15 December 2023 in Dubai, UAE.
