ARLB076 New ITU Radiocommunication Director
 
At the ITU Plenipotentiary Conference in Kyoto, Japan, on September
30, the International Telecommunication Union elected Canadian radio
amateur Robert W. Jones, VE3CTM, to replace retiring Richard C.
Kirby, W0LCT, as Director of its Radiocommunication Bureau.
 
Jones, 50, of Ottawa, is currently the Director General of the Radio
Regulatory Branch, under Industry and Science Canada, which regulates
amateur and other radio services. His work with the ITU began in 1975
in preparation for the 1977 and 1979 World Administrative Radio
Conferences. From 1981 to 1983 he was director of a project to
automate ITU frequency records. He has since served and headed
Canadian delegations to numerous ITU conferences and working groups.
He holds Master of Applied Science and Master of Business
Administration degrees, and attributes his professional interest
in radiocommunication to having become a licensed radio amateur
as a teenager in 1959.
