 Members 
 The  Commission  received  forty-  seven  (47)  applications  for  membership  on  the  Committee,  from  twenty-  seven  (27)  states  and  ten  (10)  tribal  representatives.  After  a  careful  review  of  these 
 applications,  fifteen  (15)  members  were  appointed  to  the  Committee.  This  selected  group  is  representative  of  the  FCC’s  many  constituencies,  and  the  expertise  and  diversity  of  those 
 selected  is  expected  to  provide  a  balance  point  of  view  to  the  Commission.  In  addition,  Chairman  Powell  has  appointed  Jim  Dailey,  Mayor,  City  of  Little  Rock,  Arkansas,  as  the 
 Chairperson.  All  appointments  are  effective  immediately  and  shall  terminate  January,  2006,  or  until  the  Committee  is  terminated,  whichever  is  earlier.
