FirstNet reschedules meeting for Friday

FirstNet reschedules meeting for Friday

Last week's scheduled meeting was canceled due to the federal government shutdown; Friday's teleconference is scheduled to begin at 11 a.m. ET.
  • Written by
  • 23rd October 2013

FirstNet board members will convene Friday via teleconference in a special meeting that is being conducted after last week’s scheduled meeting was canceled because of the federal government shutdown.

According to a posting in today’s Federal Register, FirstNet board members will meet via teleconference beginning at 11:00 a.m. No agenda for the meeting was posted on the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) website in time to be included in this story.

FirstNet board members were scheduled to meet on Oct. 15, but that meeting was not conducted because of the government shutdown.

Technically, FirstNet was not impacted by the government shutdown, because it is an independent body that receives its funding from anticipated proceeds from FCC spectrum auctions, instead of the federal budget. In actuality, FirstNet was affected by the government shutdown, which resulted in the furloughing of many employees from the NTIA and the U.S. Department of Commerce that work with FirstNet.

    So, with less than 48 hours,
    So, with less than 48 hours, no agenda was posted. Are we redefining “transparency”? Are there any FOIA/OMA type rules for the operation of this committee, or is it played close to the vest for good reasons? Is there any doubt as to why the PS community does not trust what is going on? Just askin’….

    Members of the public may listen to this meeting of the First Responder Network Authority by dialing toll-free 1 (888) 469-3306 and using passcode ‘‘FirstNet’ on the operated-assisted line. Due to the limited number of ports, attendance via teleconference will be on a first-come, first-served basis. FirstNet may, by a majority vote, close a portion of the meeting as necessary to preserve the confidentiality of commercial or financial information that is privileged or confidential, to discuss personnel matters, or to discuss legal matters affecting FirstNet, including pending or potential litigation. Members of the public will be placed on hold in the event FirstNet enters into a closed session. In such an event, the teleconference will resume when the closed session concludes.
    1. Call to Order (Chairman Ginn)
    2. Roll Call
    3. GM Update (Bill D’Agostino)
    4. Resolution on Additional Office Locations
