The GSA Spectrum Group (GSG) will operate in all regions around the world mirroring closely the ITU-R organization structure.

GSA will form regional groups headed by a rotating Regional Coordinator from the Executive Member companies. The GSA Executive Committee has appointed Lasse Wieweg as the GSG Global Coordinator. Lasse has over 30 years of experience in regulatory and spectrum affairs.

GSA said that it is applying for membership of ITU and is correspondingly seeking cooperation and associate agreements with regional standards and regulatory bodies.
