> Comm Daily Monday 5/21
>
>      FCC issued call for comments Fri. on project to
> reform agency (CD Feb 27 p4), headed by Mary Beth
> Richards, ex-deputy managing dir.  Richards didn't
> give deadline for comments but asked parties from
> industry, consumer groups and others to comment "over
> the
> next several weeks" on how to achieve 4 goals:  (1)
> Develop "clear substantive policy vision."  (2)
> Install management style that "builds on a strong
> team, produces a cohesive and efficient operation and
> leads to clear and timely decisions."  (3) Develop
> "independent technical and economic expertise through
> recruitment, training and employee development."  (4)
> Realign organizational structure "to conform to the
> realities of a dynamic and converging
> marketplace."  Because this isn't formal proceeding,
> like rulemaking, Richards didn't set comment
> deadlines.  Suggestions can be sent to Richards, Room
> 8-C750 at FCC hq.
