Thepurpose of the meeting was to outline for the Bureau proposals
included in an upcoming joint filing among these and other users of the 800 MHz
band.

The 800 MHz User Coalition has developed a Balanced Approach

specific procedures for identifying and eliminating interference to incumbent users; and
suggested specific changes to the technical rules for the 806-824/851-869 MHz frequency

shortly.

This Notice is being filed pursuant to Section 1.1206 of the Commission's Rules and Regulations, 47 C.F.R. § 1.1206.  If there are any questions
concerning this matter, please do not hesitate to contact me.
