The ITU-R WP 5D schedule described below applies to the first invitation for IMT 2030 candidate RITs [1] or SRITs [2]

[1]   RIT =Radio Interface Technology  [2]  SRIT =Set of RITs.  That terminology was used for IMT 2020 and the IMT 2150 recommendation

Submission of proposals may begin at 54^th meeting of Working Party (WP) 5D, currently planned for February 2027.  The final deadline for submissions is 1600 hours UTC, 12 calendar days prior to the start of the 59^th meeting of WP 5D in February 2029.

The evaluation of the proposed RITs/SRITs by the independent evaluation groups and the consensus-building process will be performed throughout this time period and thereafter. Subsequent calendar schedules will be decided according to the submissions of proposals.
