FCC Wireline Chief Jeffrey Carlisle, Wireless Chief John Muleta, Media Chief Kenneth Ferree, Enforcement Chief David Solomon, Consumer & Governmental Affairs Chief Dane Snowden have all departed the Commission since former Chairman Powell announced his resignation. Some FCC staff and observers say these and other staff changes are par for the course; others are miffed because they find the moves too abrupt. Chairman Martin has gotten high marks for ³collegiality² since taking over because he appears to be forging close relationships with other commissioners. He attended a Federal Communications Bar Association lunch Monday to hear Commissioner Copps speak (and tell jokes about the Chairman), a gesture many term unusual -- chairmen and other commissioners generally don't attend each others¹ speeches. Commissioner Adelstein also attended the lunch. Sources said Chairman Martin¹s staff has been meeting with other commissioners¹ staffs to learn what sort of information they would like to have about ongoing proceedings, whether they would like it on paper or electronically and if they would like more meetings. The ³outreach² effort appears to have been ³handled deftly² and was ³well-received,² an outside source said.
