The Regional Commonwealth in the Field of Communications (RCC) was established on December 17 of 1991 in Moscow. In October of 2002, the governments of the CIS countries took a decision to establish the Coordinating Council of CIS Member States on Informatization under the RCC, an intergovernmental coordinating body in the field of information technology.
The main challenges of the RCC are: extending mutually beneficial relations between RCC administrations in harmonizing the development of networks and means of communication; coordinating issues in the field of scientific and technical policy, radio frequency spectrum management, tariff policy for communication services and mutual settlements, and personnel training; interacting with international organizations in the field of communications and informatization, information exchange, etc.
The superior body of the RCC is the Council of Heads of Communications Administrations, which operates in accordance with its regulations. The permanent executive body of the RCC is the Executive Committee, located in Moscow. The Regional Commonwealth also forms and develops its working bodies — commissions, councils of telecommunications and postal operators, and working groups, whose activities are aimed at developing and implementing specific tasks of the CIS.
