Bill introduced to foster FCC commissioner get-togethers
"According to the rules, about the only time more than two FCC commissioners get to see one another in person is at the monthly Open Meeting or at some other official gathering. A new bipartisan bill from House Commerce Committee members would change all that.
The bill comes from Anna Eshoo (D-CA), John Shimkus (R-IL) and Mike Doyle (D-PA) and is called the Federal Communications Commission Collaboration Act.

The legislation would also ensure that a member of each political party is represented in any such discussions.
