Comments to the Task Force should be filed in GN Docket No. 19-329.

This agenda may be modified at the discretion of the Task Force Chair and the Designated Federal Officer.
[top] Good Cause for Late Notice: This Amendment to Notice of public meeting is being published less than 15 days before the meeting date of March 25, 2020. There is good cause for this late notice. Specifically, travel restrictions affecting members of the Task Force related to the ongoing increase in COVID-19 cases, have led the Commission to conclude that, in an abundance of caution, an electronic meeting is appropriate. The Commission has also announced this amendment to the public meeting by Public Notice posted on https://www.fcc.gov/task-force-reviewing-connectivity-and-
