 MSRC  was  formed  following  the  events  of  September  11,  2001,  in  order  to  study,  develop  and  report  on  best  practices  designed  to  assure  the  optimal  reliability,  robustness  and 
 security  of  the  broadcast  and  multichannel  video  programming  distribution  industries.  MSRC  I  developed  over  100  Best  Practices  recommendations.  The  Council  was  re-  chartered  in  June 
 2004  and  is  currently  chaired  by  David  J.  Barrett,  President  and  Chief  Executive  Officer  of  Hearst-  Argyle  Television,  Inc.  Mr.  Barrett  has  successfully  lead  the  Council  in  developing  the 
 “tools”  listed  above  to  implement  the  work  of  MSRC  I.  MSRC  is  comprised  of  leaders  of  mass  media  companies,  cable  television  and  satellite  service  providers,  trade  associations,  public
