December 10, 2014.
    By Public Notice [DA 14-1806] dated and released December 10, 2014, 
the Commission announced the renewal of the Committee for an eighth two 
year term, and solicited applications for membership thereon. This 
renewal was necessary and in the public interest. Numerous applications 
were received through January 20, 2015, at which time the period for 
receipt of applications closed.
    On March 12, 2015, the Commission released a Report and Order on 
Remand, Declaratory Ruling, and Order in the Matter of Protecting and 
Promoting the Open Internet (NG Docket No. 1428), adopted on February 
26, 2015. The Commission's Open Internet Order directed the CAC to 
``formulate and submit to the Commission a proposed [Open Internet 
enhanced transparency rule] disclosure format, based on input from a 
broad range of stakeholders, within six months of the time that its new 
membership is reconstituted, but, in any event, no later than October 
31, 2015.'' This disclosure format must be accessible to persons with 
disabilities. The Commission stated its expectation that the CAC ``will 
consider whether to propose the same or different formats for fixed and

CAC to consider ``whether and how a standard format for mobile 
broadband providers will allow providers to continue to differentiate 
their services competitively, as well as how mobile broadband providers 
can effectively disclose commercial terms to consumers regarding myriad 
plans in a manner that is not administratively burdensome.'' This 
recommendation may serve as a potential safe harbor for broadband 
providers seeking to meet the Commission's Open Internet transparency 
requirements.

furtherance of the Committee's other responsibilities, the Commission, 
by public Notice [DA 15-324], dated and released March 17, 2015

be published in the Federal Register at least fifteen (15) days in 
advance of the meeting. Records will be maintained of each meeting and

Committee will meet in Washington, DC for a minimum of two (2) one-day 
plenary meetings per year. In addition, as needed, working groups or
