FCC Anticipates Renewing Consumer Advisory Committee

The Federal Communications Commission announces the anticipated renewal of its Consumer Advisory Committee and solicits applications for membership, subject to renewal of the CAC's charter. Applications for membership are due by 11:59 P.M. EST, September 14, 2018. The FCC seeks applications from interested consumers, nonprofit organizations, corporations, or other entities from both the public and private sectors that wish to be considered for membership on the Committee. Selections will be made based on factors such as expertise and diversity of viewpoints necessary to effectively address the topics before the CAC. The FCC will determine the appropriate CAC size necessary to effectively accomplish the committee’s work. Applicants must be willing to commit to a two-year term of service, should be willing and able to attend at least three one-day meetings per year in Washington (DC) and should also expect to participate in at least one working group or subcommittee.

The mission of the CAC is to make recommendations to the FCC regarding consumer topics specified by the FCC and to facilitate the participation of consumers in proceedings before the FCC.
