    The roundtables will be free and open to the public, and the FCC 
also will stream them live at http://www.fcc.gov/live. The location of 
the roundtables will be the Commission Meeting Room (TW-C305), 445 12th 
Street SW., Washington, DC 20554. The FCC will make available an 
overflow room for those in-person attendees who cannot be accommodated 
in the Commission Meeting Room. We advise persons planning to attend 
the roundtables in person to leave sufficient time to enter through 
building security.
    The FCC encourages members of the public to submit suggested 
questions in advance and during the roundtables by email to 
[email protected] or on Twitter using the hashtag 
#FCCRoundtables. Please note that by submitting a question, you 
will be making a filing in an official FCC proceeding. All information 
submitted, including names, addresses, and other personal information 
contained in the message, may be publicly available online.
    Reasonable accommodations for people with disabilities are 
available upon request. The request should include a detailed 
description of the accommodation needed and contact information. We ask 
that requests for accommodations be made as soon as possible in order 
to allow the agency to satisfy such requests whenever possible. Send an 
email to [email protected] or call the Consumer and Governmental Affairs 
Bureau at 202-418-0530 (voice), 202-418-0432 (TTY).

Proposed Agenda

    The Enforcement Bureau and the Office of Strategic Planning and 
Policy Analysis of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) provide 
panelist names and other information about two events in the Open 
Internet roundtable series: ``Effective Enforcement of Open Internet 
Requirements'' and ``Technological Aspects of an Open Internet,'' which 
will both take place on September 19, 2014. These workshops were 
previously announced in a Public Notice. At that time, it was unclear 
whether the workshop would be a ``meeting'' of the Commission. As such, 
that Public Notice was not published in the Federal Register. This 
Notice shall serve as notice that a quorum of Commissioners may be 
present at one or more roundtables, in compliance with Part 0, Subpart 
F of the Commission's rules. This Notice does not, however, change the 
``permit-but-disclose'' status of the Open Internet proceeding under 
the Commission's ex parte rules.

Effective Enforcement of Open Internet Requirements

10:00-10:15 a.m. Welcome and Opening Remarks
10:15-12:30 p.m. Effective Enforcement of Open Internet Requirements
    This roundtable will consider ways to enforce effectively the

discussing how to design fair and accessible FCC dispute resolution 
processes for open Internet concerns.
