Following the resignation of Larry Strickling, the NTIA is currently headless <https://www.ntia.doc.gov/offices>. 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. This is just starting. It runs almost 2.5 hours. I will post to YouTube after it finishes. joly posted: "On January 25 2017 the Commerce Spectrum Management Advisory Committee held an Open Meeting in Washington DC.
