> To advance the FCC reform agenda, Chairman Julius Genachowski

>
> Redesign of FCC.gov: As part of a long-overdue redesign of the  
> FCC.gov Web site, the FCC is asking      for ideas on how best to  
> streamline and improve the experience for all site visitors.
> Data: Because data underlies all agency proceedings, the FCC is  
> launching FCC.gov/data, an online clearinghouse for the Commission’s 
>  public data, and looking for additional ways increase openness, tra 
> nsparency, efficiency and public oversight.
> Engagement: The FCC is reevaluating how citizens engage in  
> government and exploring new ways to increase public participation  
> through the use of new media tools, e-rulemaking, and expanding our  
> audiences.
> Systems: The FCC is overhauling and reforming the systems available  
> at FCC.gov -- from the Electronic Comment Filing System to creating  
> a Consolidated Licensing System -- and wants feedback on ways to  
> make them easier to navigate and more useful.
> Rules and Processes: The FCC aims to modernize and grow the  
> efficiency of agency proceedings, and seeks input on ways to improve  
> the quality of agency decision-making, reduce backlogs, and enhance  
> the public's ability to understand and participate in Commission  
> proceedings.
