May 8, 2014.

The Federal Communications Commission will hold an Open Meeting on the subjects listed below on Thursday, May 15, 2014. The meeting is scheduled to commence at 10:30 a.m. in Room TW-C305, at 445 12th Street SW., Washington, DC.

Public Comment on Item No. 1: Protecting and Promoting the Open Internet

With respect to agenda item 1, Protecting and Promoting the Open Internet, the Commission has determined that strict enforcement of the Sunshine Period prohibition on comment would place an unnecessarily restrictive burden on the public, who should have full opportunity to express their views. Therefore, the Commission is waiving the Sunshine Period prohibition contained in section 1.1203 of the Commission's rules, 47 CFR 1.1203, until 11:59 p.m. on Wednesday, May 14, 2014 with respect to this proceeding. Presentations and public comment on the Open Internet item listed below will be permitted until that time.
