The Commission is still looking for nominations for its disaster response 
and recovery working group.  Any independent ISPs can nominate a 
representative....

The Federal Communications Commission (Commission) solicits nominations 
for membership on a new Disaster Response and Recovery Working Group of 
the Broadband Deployment Advisory Committee (BDAC). This new working group 
will assist the BDAC in providing advice and recommendations to the 
Commission on steps that can be taken to improve disaster preparation, 
response, and recovery for broadband infrastructure.

Nominations for membership to the BDAC’s Disaster Response and Recovery
Working Group should be submitted to the FCC no later than September 7,
2018.
