Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross has named new and returning members of the National Telecommunications & Information Administration's Commerce Spectrum Management Advisory Committee.
The committee advises the Administration on spectrum policy issues, with freeing up spectrum for 5G wireless one of the most pressing issues.
The committee members, there are 30, will serve two-year terms. The committee will be headed by Jennifer Warren, VP of technology, policy and regulation for Lockheed Martin and Charla Rath, consultant and former Verizon executive.
They serve in a personal capacity rather than as representatives of any company or association.
“On behalf of Secretary Ross, we welcome new members to CSMAC and thank returning members for their continued service,” said NTIA Administrator David Redl. “This committee’s diverse expertise in spectrum policy will help guide our ongoing work to meet the spectrum needs of commercial and federal users.”
