See FCC Announces Series of Open Internet Roundtable Discussions, GN Docket No. 14-28, Public Notice, DA 14-1152 (rel. Aug. 8, 2014). At that time, it was unclear whether the roundtable would be a “meeting” of the Commission. 47 C.F.R. § 0.601(b). As such, that public notice was not published in the Federal Register. See id. § 0.605(b). This Public Notice shall serve as notice that a quorum of Commissioners may be present at the roundtable, in compliance with Part 0, Subpart F of the Commission’s rules. This notice does not, however, change the “permit-but-disclose” status of the Open Internet proceeding under the Commission’s ex parte rules. 2Hal Singer, Principal, Economists Inc.; Senior Fellow, Progressive Policy Institute Moderators: Tim Brennan, Chief Economist, FCC Jonathan Levy, Deputy Chief Economist, FCC Attendance and Participation: The roundtables will be free and open to the public, and the FCC also will stream them live at http://www.fcc.gov/live.
