The ICAO Assemb​ly is the Organization’s sovereign body.  It meets at least once every three years and is convened by ICAO’s governing body, the Council.

ICAO's 193 Member States and a large number of international organizations are invited to the Assembly, which establishes the worldwide policy of the Organization for the upcoming triennium.

During Assembly Sessions, ICAO’s complete work programme in the technical, economic, legal and technical cooperation fields is reviewed in detail. Assembly outcomes are then provided to the other bodies of ICAO and to its Member States in order to guide their continuing and future work, as prescribed in Article 49 of the Convention on International Civil Aviation.

FRMCS (Future Railway Mobile Communication System) is moving full speed ahead, with:

• The delivery of UIC V2 Specifications
• The launch of the FP2 - Morane2 project in Europe, an EU-Rail co-funded project coordinated by UIC with the participation of 12 European railways and 13 product manufacturers, UNIFE and two Mobile Network Operators
• The expansion of FRMCS initiatives beyond Europe

As the next major transformation in railway communications, FRMCS will be a key driver of digitalization—enhancing train security, punctuality, services and capacity. It will be the enabler for the intelligent digital train, leading then to traffic optimization and performance improvement.
