The Backbone Of VHF Amateur Radio May Be Under Threat
Why should this bother you? If you are a radio amateur it should be a grave concern that a band which has provided the “glue” for so many vital services over many decades might come under threat, and if you are not a radio amateur it should concern you that a commercial defence contractor in one country can so easily set in motion the degradation of a globally open resource governed by international treaties penned in your grandparents’ time.

That seems to be four year old news, is it still relevant?
The first sentence of the article states that the conference in question is this year
I looked it up and the conference is in November. But neither article nor post says anything about what you should do, if you want to keep the 2m band for amateurs.
There’s a few things listed here to do: https://www.kb6nu.com/will-we-lose-the-2m-band/
and

Also this is the agenda for the meeting. Skimmed it but didn’t see which one pertains to this issue https://www.itu.int/wrc-23/wrc-23-agenda/
Thanks. I couldn't find the agenda.
thank you, i missed that part
Yes. While it hasn't been widely known, it's continuing and they're heading towards a vote.
Why is it always the French that try to ruin everyting. For real tho, we dont take up that much band space and they still want to take that from us
