Federal Communications Commission Seeks Nominations for Native Nations Communications Task Force

The FCC is seeking nominations for its renewed Native Nations Communications Task Force (NNCTF). The renewed Task Force's mission will be to make recommendations to the Commission on communications-related issues that affect tribal interests.

The issues to be considered by the Task Force may include, but are not limited to: executing the Commission's tribal consultation policy; identifying barriers to broadband deployment that are unique to tribal lands; ensuring tribal concerns are considered in all Commission proceedings related to broadband and other Commission undertakings that affect tribal interests regarding communications services and facilities.

All nominations must be submitted to the FCC by March 31, 2018. Nominees should submit their contact information, brief description of expertise, and a nominating letter from the tribal government supporting their nomination. Applications should be submitted by email to native at fcc.gov<mailto:native at fcc.gov>.
