<div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default">Following the resignation of Larry Strickling, the NTIA is currently <a href="https://www.ntia.doc.gov/offices">headless</a>. However the Office of Spectrum Management ploughs on under the capable leadership of Paige Atkins. It's a fine example of multistakeholder process via the Commerce Spectrum Management Advisory Committee, especially since 2010 when a Presidential Memorandum ordered 500Mhz of Federal Spectrum be opened up to other uses. It meets twice a year.The main topic under discussion at the Jan 2017 meeting was spectrum sharing, Obviously the 5Ghz band i.e LTE-U is a major concern, measuerement, beaconing etc, and the development of 5G. At this meeting commitments were made to establish standards, documentation, and transparency.</div><div class="gmail_quote"><br></div><div class="gmail_quote"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small">This is just starting.
