Welcome Communications Security, Reliability and Interoperability Council V Members

The Federal Communications Commission announced that the Communications Security, Reliability and Interoperability Council (or “CSRIC”) has been re-chartered for two more years and also announced the members of the new CSRIC. CSRIC is a federal advisory committee that provides recommendations to the FCC on actions the Commission can take to help ensure the security and reliability of communications systems. CSRIC members are a diverse group of expert stakeholders from the public and private sectors.

John Schanz, Executive Vice President and Chief Network Officer for Comcast Cable, will be the Chair of the CSRIC, and we are very happy that he will be steering this effort. Schanz, one of the nation’s leaders in securing commercial communications networks, brings invaluable expertise to this role at a time when both the challenges and opportunities presented by evolving technologies are greater than ever. CSRIC V, named so because this is the fifth re-chartering of the council, will hold its first public meeting on June 24.
