App. 2. Federal Communications Commission (FCC or Commission) Chairman Ajit Pai has appointed members to serve on the North American Numbering Council (NANC). The re-chartered NANC will hold its first meeting on Monday, December 16, 2019, beginning at 9:30 a.m., in the Commission Meeting Room at FCC Headquarters, located at 445 12th Street, SW, Room TW-C305, Washington, DC 20554. Notice of this meeting will be published in the Federal Register. Chairman Pai has designated Jennifer K. McKee, Vice President and Associate General Counsel of NCTA – The Internet & Television Association, to serve as Chair of the NANC, and the Honorable R. Bruce Williamson, Commissioner, Maine Public Utilities Commission, to serve as Vice Chair. In addition, Chairman Pai has selected Marilyn Jones, Senior Counsel, Competition Policy Division, Wireline Competition Bureau to serve as the Designated Federal Officer (DFO) and Jordan M. Reth, Attorney-Advisor, Competition Policy Division, Wireline Competition Bureau, to serve as Alternate Designated Federal Officer (Alternate DFO). A full list of the NANC members is attached to this Public Notice. The following working groups will assist the re-chartered NANC in carrying out its work: (i) the Numbering Administration Oversight Working Group; (ii) the Interoperable Video Calling Working Group; (iii) the Call Authentication Trust Anchor Working Group; (iv) the Toll Free Number Modernization Working Group; and (v) the Nationwide Number Portability Working Group. The Numbering Administration Oversight Working Group will be a permanent, standing working group. The remaining working groups are issue-specific and will therefore lapse at the conclusion of their assigned work. Additional issue-specific working groups may be formed as needs dictate. More information about the NANC is available at https://www.fcc.gov/about-fcc/advisory-committees/general/north-american-numbering-council. In addition to participation by NANC members on the working groups, the Commission also welcomes participation by parties that are not NANC members but have an interest in specific issues that are within the purview of one of the NANC working groups. Interested parties may submit nominations for NANC Working Groups to the Bureau no later than December 26, 2019. Although no specific nomination form is, required, each nomination must be submitted by e-mail to NANC@fcc.gov, and include the following information: · The name, title, and organization of the nominee and a description of the organization, sector, or other interest the nominee will represent; · The nominee’s mailing address, e-mail address, and telephone number; · A statement summarizing the nominee’s qualifications and reasons why the nominee should be appointed to a particular NANC working group; · A statement, if the nominee will represent a specific organization, describing the organization as well as the benefit of having the organization represented on the NANC’s working group; and, · A statement confirming that the nominee, if seeking appointment for the individual’s expertise and not as a representative of an organization or entity, is not a registered federal lobbyist. For applicants seeking to represent an organization or company, the applicant’s nomination to the NANC working group must be confirmed by an authorized person (e.g., organization or company official) that such organization or company wants the nominated person to represent it on the NANC working group. For example, this confirmation may be in the following format: “I am [insert official’s name], the [insert official’s title] at the [insert name of organization, e.g., company, government entity, trade association, etc.], with responsibilities for [concise description of position]. My organization authorizes [insert proposed member’s name], who is currently [an employee of/consultant/attorney to the company] to serve as our representative on the Commission’s North American Numbering Council’s [insert name of Working Group].” The primary agenda of the re-chartered NANC’s first meeting will be to introduce members of the Committee and provide an overview and more information about the working groups. Additionally, the NANC will discuss the upcoming technical required documents for the Reassigned Numbers Databases as well as the charges for the working groups. This agenda may be modified at the discretion of the NANC Chair and the Designated Federal Officer (DFO). The NANC meeting is open to the public. The FCC will accommodate as many attendees as possible; however, admittance will be limited to seating availability. The Commission will also provide audio coverage of the meeting.
