FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION Mike O’Rielly Commissioner 445 12 TH STREET, SW WASHINGTON, DC 20554 202-418-2300 October 21, 2014 Dear Participants and Interested Parties: I regret that I am unable to attend this Forum on Internet Regulation. When it was announced, I had a previous commitment to attend the 2014 ITU Plenipotentiary Conference in Busan, Korea. I am disappointed to miss visiting the Lone Star State again. I trust that today’s forum, which features a range of panelists with a diversity of viewpoints, will generate a fulsome discussion on net neutrality. Sincerely, Mike O’Rielly Commissioner
