George,

When I was at the FCC (at the same time as Dave) I helped to put
together courses for developing country regulators, and one of the
topics was the FCC structure.  I am not sure now who is in charge of
those courses (and if they are updated) but if you have not had any
other response I can try to find that out. At the same time, we do a lot
of work with Ofcom and I can see if there is anything good on that as
well.

Another good general guide is the InfoDev Telecommunications Regulation
Handbook, which is online (and written by Hank Intven of McCarthy
tetrault).  This does not cover the topic you are after, but does cover
a lot of other good topics for developing countries.  I know that
InfoDev is in the process of updating this to be fully online (rather
than PDFs) because we have bid on that work which should be ready by
December.

Regards,

Michael

Dave,

I am currently in Kiev, Ukraine, working with Internews and the newly
formed Ukranian National Commission on Communications Regulation, the
intended equivalent of our FCC in the United States.

The Commission was established within the last month.  They have no
building and no money yet, and as you can imagine given the recent
Orange Revolution, there are political overtones of everything related
to them.

I met one of the 8 members today, an author of previous
telecommunications law for the country.  He is desperate to find
descriptions of similar organizations, FCC, OFCOM, etc. that describe
their organization and structure, operation, budget and staffing etc.,
i.e. anything that would provide the Commission with models for how to
structure themselves effectively and then begin to function.
Materials will have to be translated into Ukranian, so really lengthy
texts won't be of much value.

Can your IP readers point us towards such texts, preferably but not
necessarily on-line?  At this point, anything relevant will help.  In
addition, are any of your readers fluent in either Russian or Ukrainian
and also consultants who could address these questions knowledgeably in
on-site training activities?

Regards,

George Sadowsky
