There is no deadline to register. However, delegates who must apply for visas to travel to the UAE are advised to register to RA-23/WRC-23 as early as possible (and obtain focal point approval) to give enough time for visa request processing (see also see Question 14 below).

There is no fee for ITU Members States or ITU-R Sector Members to register and participate in RA-23 and/or WRC-23. 

Please note however that RA-23 and WRC-23 are not open to the general public. Read more on Admission to RA-23  /  Admission to WRC-23.

ITU Members allowed to participate in RA-23 and/or WRC-23 may designate and register as many representatives as deemed necessary. There is no limitation on the number of delegates and observers attending the Assembly or the Conference.

There is no maximum number of Heads or Deputy Heads of an ITU Member State Delegation.

Please inform the RA-23/WRC-23 Registration Service at itu-r.registrations@itu.int in case a Head of Delegation/Deputy Head of Delegation should be replaced by another delegate of the same delegation during the course of the meeting (applicable to Member States only).

Yes, any RA-23/WRC-23 delegate’s family member can be registered to the event to access the venue and while on site in the conference perimeter they must wear an event photo badge.

Should visa support be required, they need to register on-line and follow the same process as the delegate they accompany, and therefore obtain focal point approval. When doing so, they should select the function “Family Member” on the online registration form so that they do not appear on the list of participants and are not considered as part of a delegation.  Delegates may wish to inform their focal point that they will be registering their family member for the event.

If no visa support is required for the family member, registered delegates may address their family member registration request directly to itu-r.registrations@itu.int.

Please note that registered family members will be granted access to the event venue, but will not be allowed in the meeting rooms.

No fellowship or financial support may be awarded for ITU treaty-making conferences such as the World Radiocommunication Conference or for the Radiocommunication Assemblies. Read more on ITU’s policy for awarding fellowships.

Remote participation will not be provided at RA-23 or at WRC-23.  However, Plenary, Committee and Working Group sessions will be webcasted and recorded, in the six ITU languages, for viewing during or after the sessions, respectively.   Registration for the RA-23 or WRC-23 is not required for viewing these webcasts, but TIES access is required.
