Background
WRC-15 will be held in November 2015 to amend the Radio Regulations in accordance with the study results of each WRC-15 agenda items.
No WRC-15 agenda item related to RR No
ITU-R WP1A has been studying technical and operational characteristics of active services since June 2012.
ITU-R WP5A and WP5C has just started technical and operational characteristics of each service since July 2015.
APT Conference Preparatory Group for WRC-15 (APG-15) discussed WRC-19 new agenda items and adopted Preliminary APT Common Proposal (PACP) regarding identification of land mobile and fixed services in the frequency rage GHz. This PACP is now circulated in the APT member countries for final approval.

PACP above 275 GHz (1)
Title of draft new Resolution: Appropriate regulatory measures for the land mobile and fixed services operating in the frequency range GHz.
considering and noting parts of draft new Resolution are not shown here.
resolves to invite WRC-19;
to consider the appropriate regulatory measures to identify the land mobile and fixed services operating in the frequency range GHz, taking into account the results of ITU-R studies.

September 2015
PACP above 275 GHz (2)
resolves to invites ITU-R;
to identify potential characteristics of systems in the land mobile and fixed services operating in the frequency range GHz;
to study spectrum requirements of the land mobile and fixed services, taking into account technical and operational characteristics of those services operating in the frequency range GHz;
to conduct sharing and compatibility studies between passive and the land mobile and fixed services, as well as among active services, operating in the frequency range GHz;
to study potential candidate frequency bands for use of the land mobile and fixed services, taking into account the results of the studies under invite ITU-R 1, 2 and 3 and the protection of passive services identified in RR No

Plan to WRC-15 and CPM19-1
If PACP is approved by APT member countries as ACP (APT Common Proposal), ACP will be sent to ARC-15.
In order to be approved as WRC-19 new agenda item during WRC-15, agreement between six regions* is strongly recommended.
ITU-R WP5A and WP5C will study potential candidate frequency bands for use of the land mobile and fixed services at WRC-19 to amend the Radio Regulations above 275 GHz.
