FCC NAMES JOHN SCHANZ CHAIR OF THE COMMUNICATIONS SECURITY, 
RELIABILITY AND INTEROPERABILITY COUNCIL
Washington, D.C. - Federal Communications Commission Chairman Tom Wheeler announced today the 
appointment of John Schanz as the Chair of the Communications Security, Reliability and Interoperability 
Council (CSRIC). The following can be attributed to Chairman Wheeler:
“I would like to thank Larissa Herda for her leadership as Chair through the first years of CSRIC IV’s 
term.  Our Nation’s networks are undergoing remarkable change over a relatively short span of time, and 
Larissa’s leadership of CSRIC during this time has been invaluable.  At the same time, I don’t expect 
CSRIC to skip a beat.  John Schanz is one of our Nation’s preeminent security leaders in the commercial 
communications sector.  He brings valuable breadth and depth to the CSRIC as they tackle the significant 
challenges ahead.”
