Jay, I have no intel on Travis LeBlanc beyond what one can learn by googling. He has impressive academic credentials but I have not found much that sheds light on his experience as an enforcer or with radio (or any other "hardware" aspect of telecom). His recent focus has been on privacy protection and data breaches. Also, I must admit to a bias against people who make dramatic job changes every two years or so. I found this particular piece to be illuminating in terms of philosophy: https://www.law.columbia.edu/media_inquiries/news_events/2012/october2012/tr... How that might translate to Amateur Radio enforcement is an interesting question. By the way, in case you were wondering what's happening to Michele Ellison: http://thehill.com/blogs/hillicon-valley/personnel-notes/199881-fcc-launches...

Do we have any information as to whether FCC policy, resources and priorites will allow oe encourage Mr. LeBlanc to use his talent and experience in leading a more energetic enforcement effort? 73, Jay, KØQB -----Original Message----- From: arrl-odv-bounces@reflector.arrl.org<mailto:arrl-odv-bounces@reflector.arrl.org> [mailto:arrl-odv-bounces@reflector.arrl.org] On Behalf Of Sumner, Dave, K1ZZ Sent: Wednesday, March 05, 2014 7:39 AM To: arrl-odv Subject: [arrl-odv:22487] New FCC Acting Enforcement Bureau Chief That attached news release may offer some basis for optimism.
