Dear IEEE 802 LMSC members,

Hope all is well.

I would like to request the review of the following draft IEEE 802 LMSC submission before asking the LMSC to consider approval of the submission tentatively via a 10-day letter ballot

On 3 June 2025, Colombia's National Spectrum Agency (ANE) published for comments the proposed regulatory modification to allow the flexibility of the 900 MHz band, eliminating its establishment and exclusive reservation for International Mobile Telecommunications (IMT).

Of possible interest to us is:
a)  Remove 894 MHz to 905 MHz and 939 MHz to 950 MHz from Article 1.7.1 that identified frequency bands for IMT operation.
b)  Remove 905 MHz to 915 MHz and 950 MHz to 960 MHz from Article 1.7.2 as well as national note CLM21 of the Table of Frequency Allocation that identified frequency bands for future IMT operation.
c)  In Article 1.2.10, modify the use of the 896 MHz to 915 MHz and 941 MHz to 960 MHz from "adopted for mobile" to "adopted for mobile and fixed radiocommunication services".
d)  Update the Table of Frequency Allocation by removing footnote 5.317A and national note CLM21 from the row "902 MHz to 905 MHz".

A draft response that commends the administration's decision and provides information about IEEE 802.15.4 and IEEE 802.11ah was prepared, and approved by IEEE 802.18 on 26 June 2025 with the following voting results:  10 Yes, 0 No, 2 Abstain.  Please kindly review the draft and let me know if you have any comments or suggestions preferably no later than Wednesday, 9 July 2025.
