The roundtables will be free and open to the public, and the FCC also will stream them live at http://www.fcc.gov/live. The location of the roundtables will be the Commission Meeting Room (TW-C305), 445 12th Street SW., Washington, DC 20554. The FCC will make available an overflow room for those in-person attendees who cannot be accommodated in the Commission Meeting Room. We advise persons planning to attend the roundtables in person to leave sufficient time to enter through building security.

The FCC encourages members of the public to submit suggested questions in advance and during the roundtables by email to roundtables@fcc.gov or on Twitter using the hashtag FCCRoundtables. Please note that by submitting a question, you will be making a filing in an official FCC proceeding. All information submitted, including names, addresses, and other personal information contained in the message, may be publicly available online.

Reasonable accommodations for people with disabilities are available upon request. The request should include a detailed description of the accommodation needed and contact information. We ask that requests for accommodations be made as soon as possible in order to allow the agency to satisfy such requests whenever possible. Send an email to fcc504@fcc.gov or call the Consumer and Governmental Affairs Bureau at 202-418-0530 (voice), 202-418-0432 (TTY).

Proposed Agenda

The Enforcement Bureau and the Office of Strategic Planning and Policy Analysis of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) provide panelist names and other information about two events in the Open Internet roundtable series: ``Effective Enforcement of Open Internet Requirements'' and ``Technological Aspects of an Open Internet,'' which will both take place on September 19, 2014. These workshops were previously announced in a Public Notice. At that time, it was unclear whether the workshop would be a ``meeting'' of the Commission. As such, that Public Notice was not published in the Federal Register. This Notice shall serve as notice that a quorum of Commissioners may be present at one or more roundtables, in compliance with Part 0, Subpart F of the Commission's rules. This Notice does not, however, change the ``permit-but-disclose'' status of the Open Internet proceeding under the Commission's ex parte rules.

Effective Enforcement of Open Internet Requirements

10:00-10:15 a.m. Welcome and Opening Remarks

10:15-12:30 p.m. Effective Enforcement of Open Internet Requirements
