DEPARTMENT OF STATE

[Public Notice 3282]

Advisory Committee on International

Communications and Information

Policy; Change in Meeting Notice

The Department of State is

rescheduling a special meeting of its

Advisory Committee on International

Communications and Information

Policy. The meeting, originally

scheduled for Monday, May 15, 2000, is

being rescheduled to Monday, June 26,

2000, in order to allow additional time

for written submissions.

The Committee provides a formal

channel for regular consultation and

coordination on major economic, social

and legal issues and problems in

international communications and

information policy, especially as these

issues and problems involve users of

information and communication

services, providers of such services,

technology research and development,

foreign industrial and regulatory policy,

the activities of international

organizations with regard to

communications and information, and

developing country interests.

This special meeting will take the

format of a hearing to solicit and receive

testimony on the subject of ‘‘best

practices’’ used by telecommunications

regulators, competition authorities, and

legislatures, etc. outside the United

States that facilitate competition in the

provision of telecommunications

services and/or networks.

The purpose of the Advisory

Committee soliciting this testimony is to

develop a list of these best policies

implemented by countries outside the

United States that will be helpful to the

Department of State and the U.S.

Government more broadly in

recognizing and promoting procompetitive telecommunications

practices abroad. The intent is that these

will provide concrete examples of

where and how telecommunications

competition has been implemented

successfully. These ‘‘best practices’’

may take the form of the adoption of

general policies, particular sets of rules,

particular pricing regimes, specific

enforcement initiatives, a particular

form of regulation or specific transition

requirement in moving from a

monopoly situation to a competitive

environment.

The target audience from whom the

Advisory Committee would like to

solicit this testimony includes the

telecommunications and information

technology industries, consumer groups,

academia, lawyers, and consultants, as

well as from the general public.

The Advisory Committee requests that

interested parties provide written

submissions, not to exceed two pages

for each best practice (not counting

attachments), that answer the following

questions:

Best Practice

1. What is the best practice? (Describe

it. What competitive issues does it

address? How has the practice been procompetitive?)

2. Who implemented the practice and

how transferable does the submitter

think it will be to other countries?

3. What next steps can be taken to

improve this practice?

4. Identify your name, organization,

and contact information (phone number

and e-mail address). Please state

whether someone from your

organization is willing to attend the

meeting scheduled for June 26, 2000, at

the Department of State in Washington

to briefly present this suggestion (3–5

minute presentation depending upon

the number of suggestions submitted).

Written material must be submitted

electronically to the Executive Secretary

of the Advisory Committee, Timothy C.

Finton, at <fintontc@state.gov> no later

than 5:00 p.m. (Eastern Daylight Time)

on Wednesday, June 14. Additionally,

hardcopies of submissions may be

mailed to Timothy C. Finton at EB/CIP,

Room 4826, U.S. Department of State,

2201 C Street, NW., Washington, DC to

be received by June 14.

The meeting will be held on Monday,

June 26, 2000, from 9:30 a.m.–11:30 a.m.

in Room 1105 of the Main Building of

the U.S. Department of State, located at

2201 ‘‘C’’ Street, NW., Washington, DC

20520.

Members of the public may attend

these meetings up to the seating

capacity of the room. While the meeting

is open to the public, admittance to the

State Department Building is only by

means of a pre-arranged clearance list.

In order to be placed on the preclearance list, please provide your
