>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.
