The aviation arm of the United Nations is
sponsoring a two-day event in Montreal, where participants like Amazon Inc.,
the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, Boeing Co., General Electric
Co., two leading industry trade associations, and researchers from China and
Brazil will gather to meet about the booming drone industry.
“(The event) isn’t likely
to produce specific rules or even a consensus around general principles. It’s
not intended to prompt any country to immediately adopt new regulations,”
the Wall Street Journal reported on Thursday.
“The default response in
many countries is a blanket ban on flying,” which further frustrates both
recreational and commercial users, Stephen Creamer, International Civil
Aviation Organization’s top safety official, told the WSJ.
The UN is also
backing ICAO's proposal to create a global drone registry, which would
create a "one-stop shop" for law enforcement to access all drone data
and information, as opposed to multiple databases.
