Page 6 of the FCC 19-130 NPRM document I sent yesterday discusses ex parte presentations, and what is required.

Found in Section 4: PROCEDURAL MATTERS, then the first Paragraph,15. It doesn't provide a "step-by-step" though.

I'm sure David can help here. IMHO, the ARRL should be going in with AREDN when they do get an audience, as the program was an outcropping of an ARRL committee, and there is an awful lot at stake here.

Based on what I read in the Commissioner's Comments in the NPRM document, they're all slapping each other on the back for a job well done and sipping champagne.

Does anyone know the answer? Is anyone able to help Andre and the AREDN group?

73,

Dick, N6AA?

Subject: Obtaining an audience with the FCC

Hi Dick,

I hope you've had a fun holiday season. I didn't hear back from you my last email, so I'm hoping you're still supportive of the AREDN defense of 3 and 5 GHz.

I understand from Phil Karn, KA9Q, that he and a WinLink core team member were able to get an audience with the FCC in Washington, DC over WT Docket No. 16-239 on encryption. I am wondering if such a discussion wouldn't be an opportunity to educate the FCC on what AREDN is and how it serves the community. They obviously have no idea at this point.

How does one get an audience with the FCC?

Your thoughts would be appreciated.

Sincerely,

Andre, K6AH
