New CCIR report on SETI

Abstract

Since 1978, the reports and recommendations of the Comite Consultatif International des Radiocommunications (CCIR) have included a document describing SETI (the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence) in the context of radio frequency management. A new report to replace the old one was adopted by a CCIR study group; both reports were written at JPL. Following introductory and background material, the text of the new report is given.
