On March 10, 2011, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC or Commission) will hold a forum with staff and the public to explore legal and technical challenges associated with proposed modifications to the Commission’s Registration System (CORES).

Agenda
10:00 a.m. Welcome and Introductory Remarks
Mary Beth Richards, Special Counsel to the Chairman for FCC Reform

10:15 a.m. - 1:00 p.m. Roundtable Panel
Moderated by Warren Firschein, Senior Attorney, Office of Managing Director (with break)

Panelists to be Announced

This workshop is part of the Commission’s long-term reform initiative to examine certain functions of its current licensing and application systems in an effort to develop a transparent, easily accessible, data driven, efficient, cost-effective and green consolidated licensing system, and is part of the Commission’s larger effort to reform and transform the agency into a model of excellence in government.

The FCC invites the public to provide significant input into this process so as to inform its decision making in regard to improving system functionality. Admittance will be limited, however, to seating availability. Except as noted below, registration is not required. The Commission will also provide audio and/or video coverage of the meeting over the Internet from the FCC’s web page at www.fcc.gov/live. During the workshop, audience members will have the opportunity to suggest questions in writing. Remote participants will be able to suggest questions in writing over the internet through Web-Ex. Web-Ex will also enable remote participants to view materials presented at the workshop. To employ the Web-Ex tool, users must register at https://fccevents.webex.com/fccevents/onstage/g.php?t=a&d=992845567. Once registered, users will receive an automated email message advising them of the event password and providing a direct link to the meeting. Questions will be reviewed and, time permitting, may be asked by the moderators. Prior to the workshop, questions can be emailed to CORESQuestions@fcc.gov. Those planning on attending should allow up to 30 minutes to pass through security.
