The NBTC board has scheduled a special meeting on 2 October 2026 to urgently review accumulated pending agendas. A letter was sent to the acting secretary-general requesting the organization of a special meeting for the six remaining commissioners.
On 1 October 2026, Prof. Dr. Pirongrong Ramasut and Assoc. Prof. Dr. Supach Supachalasai, NBTC commissioners, revealed the outcome of a small group discussion among the six board members. They stated that the meeting unanimously agreed to hold a special meeting on 2 October at 09:30, invoking the authority under Section 20, Paragraph 3 of the Frequency Allocation Organization Act to expedite consideration of the backlog.
Prof. Dr. Pirongrong said the commissioners sent a letter to Mr. Trairat Wiriyasirikul, deputy secretary-general and acting secretary-general of the NBTC, requesting a special meeting for the six remaining members. All parties responded positively. The meeting tomorrow is expected to have full participation of all six members, both in person and online, to resolve issues and accelerate work efficiency.
Assoc. Prof. Dr. Supach revealed that the meeting agenda will begin with appointing a chairperson to lead proceedings. Then, they will prioritize over 220 pending items, categorized as for information, for consideration, and others, carefully ordered by importance. Another follow-up meeting is expected early next week.
Regarding the status of the former NBTC chairperson, Prof. Dr. Pirongrong clarified that according to the law, selection committee rulings, administrative court orders, and official administrative letters addressing inability to perform duties, the remaining six board members have full authority to carry out duties and pass resolutions to move the organization forward. He urged an end to divisive rhetoric. The phrase "meeting disruptions" should be put to rest, as the remaining six-member board intends to work in public service to clear all issues and enable progress.
