What We’re Seeking

• Calendar entries for Chairman Pai and other senior FCC officials reflecting meetings related to net neutrality.
• Communications between senior FCC officials and the telecommunications industry.
• Records relating to the FCC’s management of the online comment system used to solicit input from the public regarding net neutrality.

While Chairman Pai has promised an open and transparent rulemaking process, there have already been reports the he and other FCC officials have been meeting with telecom trade associations and large internet companies to discuss the Commission’s plans for the future of net neutrality.

Given that Mr. Pai has declined to publicly discuss the details of those meetings, American Oversight is seeking to gain insight into those meetings via the Freedom of Information Act. The public should have access to communications related to the shaping of such influential regulations; significant regulatory changes should not be shaped by secret influences.
