SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

The Council was established by the Federal Communications Commission to bring together leaders of the telecommunications industry and telecommunications experts from academic, consumer and other organizations to explore and recommend measures that will enhance network security, reliability and interoperability. At this sixth and last meeting of the Network Reliability and Interoperability Council VI, the Council will consider and vote on its final recommendations.

Inadvertent administrative delay prevented publication of this in the Federal Register fifteen days before the meeting, and given the large number of people arriving from different parts of the country, it would have been infeasible to reschedule the meeting before the expiration of the Council's charter.

The Federal Communications Commission will attempt to accommodate as many people as possible. Admittance, however, will be limited to the seating available. The public may submit written comments before the meeting to Jeffery Goldthorp, the Commission's Designated Federal Officer for the Network Reliability and Interoperability Council, by e-mail, [e-mail] or U.S. mail (7-A325, 445 12th St., SW., Washington, DC 20554). Real Audio and streaming video access to the meeting will be available at http://www.fcc.gov/​.
