Dave is an old friend of the IETF - he has now undertaken an assignment at the US Federal Communications Commission and asked me to forward his invitation to contact him in his new role. Scott ------------ Date: Wed, 23 Feb 2000 16:00:29 -0500 From: "David Farber" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: IP: Open letter to my internet friends and even non-friends :-) I have been at the Federal Communications Commission as Chief Technologist for about a month including several snow storms and a trip or so. I am focusing my long term contribution on understanding and articulating the impact of internet technology and practices on those aspects of the communications industry that the FCC currently regulates. Please note I am NOT doing this for any ulterior motives but rather to help the staff and Commissioners understand the issues and to help them "do no harm" I welcome your inputs and invite you to email them to me and/or stop by at the FCC and talk. I hope to get to some of the meetings , like the IETF, I would prefer not to discuss areas of active regulatory action since the ethics rules that cover such conversations may require their disclosure, or prohibit those discussions outright. Please please take advantage of the opportunity offered by "one of us" being at the FCC. Dave David Farber Chief Technologist Federal Communications Commission 202 418 2046
