The Department of Commerce’s National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) issued a Request for Comments (RFC) seeking public input on the development of a comprehensive, long-term National Spectrum Strategy. The strategy must accomplish several goals, including increasing spectrum access, improving spectrum sharing, enhancing spectrum management, and leveraging ongoing research and development activities.

For my time today, I'd like to lay out some of the National Telecommunications & Information Administration's early international policy priorities in the new Administration. We plan to be aggressive in advocating for US interests and values in our engagement across the globe, at the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN), the International Telecommunication Union and other fora.
