... with potential impact on scientific observations, particularly future radio astronomy and Earth remote sensing observations. The committee will: •  Identify the agenda items at issue at the 2015 WRC that are potentially relevant to the scientific use of the radio and microwave spectrum, namely for, but not limited to, radio astronomy and Earth remote sensing; •  ssess each of the identified agenda items for their potential A impact -- positive, negative, or none -- on radio frequency sci ence applications; •  escribe the scientific justification for protecting radio astron D omy and Earth remote sensing observations in agenda items with potential impact, where appropriate; •  Solicit and consider input from the broad international sci ence community relevant to the committee's task; and • stablish a position, where needed and within the scope of E the identified agenda items, to ensure that radio astronomy and Earth remote sensing and other related radio frequency science applications will continue to be able to make needed observations.
