Hospital Robocall Protection Group (HRPG).

DATES: Monday, July 27, 2020, beginning at 10:00 a.m. EDT.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Proposed Agenda: The agenda for the meeting will include 
introducing members of the HRPG, including the Committee Chair and Vice 
Chair, and establishing working groups that will assist the HRPG in 
carrying out its work. This agenda may be modified at the discretion of 
the HRPG Chair and the DFO. As will be discussed, the HRPG's mission is 
to issue best practices concerning (1) how voice service providers can 
better combat unlawful robocalls made to hospitals; (2) how hospitals 
can better protect themselves from such calls, including by using 
unlawful robocall mitigation techniques; and (3) how the Federal 
Government and State governments can help combat such calls. The 
meeting is being moved to a wholly electronic format in light of 
continuing travel restrictions affecting members of the HRPG related to 
public health concerns arising from the coronavirus (COVID-19) 
pandemic.

via live broadcast over the internet from the FCC Live web page at
