COMMISSIONER CLYBURN STATEMENT 
On Establishing an Advisory Committee on Diversity and Digital Empowerment
WASHINGTON, April 24, 2017 – “I am pleased that Chairman Pai intends to establish a new 
federal advisory committee, known as the Advisory Committee on Diversity and Digital 
Empowerment.”
“While no single initiative will solve the digital and opportunities divide, I believe that the 
formation of this Committee is the first of many steps the FCC can take to ensure all Americans 
have access to robust and affordable communications services. I look forward to working with 
the Committee to advance these important goals.”
