Dear David,

Thank you for your interest in the "Reforming the Federal
Communications Commission" project jointly sponsored by Public
Knowledge and Silicon Flatirons, a Center for Law, Technology,
and Entrepreneurship at the University of Colorado. We wanted to
let you know that the website created as a follow up to the
conference is now open at:

 http://fcc-reform.org

The purpose of this website is to provide information and solicit
*your* suggestions about what changes need to take place at the
Federal Communications Commission (FCC) for the agency to restore
the public's confidence that it will meet its legal obligation to
promote the "public interest, convenience and necessity."

On this website, we will post the papers related to the
conference, including Phil Weiser's keynote paper, the panelists
written responses to it, and former FCC General Counsel Henry
Geller's April 1974 paper entitled "A Modest Proposal to Reform
the Federal Communications Commission," which until now has never
been available on line, and which clearly demonstrates that FCC
reform is a topic whose time has come. The website also has a
comprehensive bibliography of resources related to the topic,
many of which were written by the conference panelists.

Again, we are seeking thoughtful input from you, the public.
Submit your own response to Phil's paper or any of the others.
Provide brief comments or suggestions. Supplement the
bibliography. Offer ideas on how we can continue to spotlight
this issue. In short, we want you to become part of a
conversation that will surely last well into the next four years
and beyond. Thank you!

Gigi Sohn
President and Co-Founder, Public Knowledge

Phil Weiser
Executive Director and Founder, Silicon Flatirons Center
