Next CSRIC V Meeting Dec. 3, FCC Says

The FCC Communications Security, Reliability and Interoperability Council meets Dec. 3, the agency said in Friday’s Federal Register. The meeting will be CSRIC’s third as part of its fifth charter. CSRIC working groups are examining the emergency alert system, emergency alerting platforms, evolving 911 services and security by design (see 1509210049). The FCC failed to publish the CSRIC meeting notice within the 15-day threshold but said it couldn’t find an acceptable alternate date for the meeting because “a significant number of CSRIC members have made business and travel plans to attend” the Dec. 3 meeting and there's no other date within one month of Dec. 3 “that will accommodate CSRIC members’ schedules.” Delaying the CSRIC meeting “will also cause undue financial burdens on many of the CSRIC members who have made travel arrangements,” the FCC said. CSRIC’s meeting is set to begin at 1 p.m. in the Commission Meeting Room at FCC headquarters.
