@carlysagan @Jwilliams @sundogplanets I do get your point and perhaps you are right.
Radio astronomers, who try to keep the skies quiet are organized in 3 regional organizations (#CORF, #CRAF, and #RAFCAP), plus there is an international organization, #IUCAF. As you can imagine, there is a huge amount of work to do for us world-wide. As such, we *have to* share the workload. I'm spending 100% of my work time with this and a fair fraction of my free time, too.
@hfalcke That is very interesting!
#CRAF, #IUCAF, and #CORF have been working on spectrum management and radio astronomy protection in the #SZM (shielded zone of the moon) at the ITU-R. Feel free to contact us to coordinate our efforts. There is a lot of pressure on the spectrum even on the Moon these days. And self-generated interference is also an issue.
@AlexSanterne @VRubinObs It's still not too late, to do something about it. Join the #IAU #CPS (https://cps.iau.org/) and help!
Also your regional radio astronomy spectrum management groups are working very hard to protect the sky. #IUCAF #CORF #CRAF #RAFCAP We need your help, too. @Jwilliams

@alexshill @Jwilliams It is not mandatory to join your national delegation. There is #IUCAF or #CRAF for example...
Being part of a national delegation can be both, beneficial or problematic as you are of course bound to your national positions in this case.
