Billing & Collection Oversight Mission Statement:  The NANC’s Billing and Collection Agent Oversight Working Group (B&C WG) is responsible for overseeing the performance of the functional requirements provided by the NANP Billing and Collection Agent (B&C Agent). The B&C WG will investigate/review the performance of B&C Agent and submit reports at each NANC meeting to fully inform NANC of the B&C Agent’s performance with respect to the functional requirements. At the request of the FCC and/or NANC, the B&C WG will identify and determine the financial impact, feasibility and/or the appropriateness of initiatives/activities that may need to be included in the budget or use these Funds. Currently, the NANP B & C Agent is Welch & Company, LLP. Future of Numbering Mission Statement:  The mission of the Future of Numbering (FON) working group is to explore changes to the numbering environment, including new and future technologies, the impact of market place and/or regulatory changes and innovations on telephone numbering. Scope:  The Working Group will investigate new telephone numbering assignement approaches and future telephone number assignment requirements. The Working Group will identify trends and assess their impact upon numbering resources. The Working Group, if necessary, will analyze potential changes to numbering adminstration and use common criteria to determine the feasibility and benefit of each. The Working Group will report its findings to the NANC. The Working Group will also analyze various topics that may be given to it from time to time by the NANC and/or FCC. Local Number Portability Administration Mission Statement:  The Local Number Portability Administration Working Group (LNPA WG) was given the charter by the North American Numbering Council (NANC) for implementing Local Number Portability (LNP) on a national level. It is the body that makes recommendations that assist in the formation of the regulatory orders issued by the FCC pertaining to LNP. The LNPA WG is also responsible for the business functionality of the national NLP system and how Service Providers inter-operate with it. Numbering Oversight Mission Statement:  The Numbering Oversight Working Group (NOWG) oversees the activities and reviews the performances of the North American Numbering Plan Administrator (NANPA) and the Pooling Administrator (PA). Specifically, the NOWG oversees the development of change orders, number administrator complaints, internal performance metrics, and performance improvement plans. In addition, the NOWG holds separate monthly meetings with the the NANPA and the PA and carries out any other requests or responsibilities directed to the NOWG by the NANC. last reviewed/updated on July 01, 2009   FCC Home | Search | Updates | E-Filing | Initiatives | For Consumers | Find People Federal Communications Commission 445 12th Street SW Washington, DC 20554 More FCC Contact Information...

Located in three buildings in Washington, D.C., it is the largest library in the world by shelf space and holds the largest number of books.[2][3] The head of the Library is the Librarian of Congress, currently James H. Billington. •••The Library of Congress was established by Congress in 1800, and was housed in the United States Capitol for most of the 19th century. After much of the original collection had been destroyed during the War of 1812, Thomas Jefferson sold the library 6487 books, his entire personal library, in 1815[4][5]. CLICK FOR MORE STORY / CLICK FOR 2008 TVInews Trick Pony STORY The Library of Congress was established by Congress in 1800, and was housed in the United States Capitol for most of the 19th century. After much of the original collection had been destroyed during the War of 1812, Thomas Jefferson sold the library 6487 books, his entire personal library, in 1815[4][5]. After a period of decline during the mid-19th century the Library of Congress began to grow rapidly in both size and importance after the American Civil War, culminating in the construction of a separate library building and the transference of all copyright deposit holdings to the Library. During the rapid expansion of the 20th century the Library of Congress assumed a preeminent public role, becoming a "library of last resort" and expanding its mission for the benefit of scholars and the American people. The Library's primary mission is researching inquiries made by members of Congress through the Congressional Research Service; although it is open to the public, only legislators, Supreme Court justices and other high-ranking government officials may check out books. Through the United States Copyright Office, the Library of Congress also receives copies of every book, pamphlet, map, print, and piece of music registered in the United States. As the de facto national library, the Library of Congress promotes literacy and American literature through projects such as the American Folklife Center, American Memory, Center for the Book and Poet Laureate. 109OrphanBooks Library of CONGRESS Debate stirs over whether Apple should have disclosed more about Steve Jobs' health | Main | Celebrities mourn Michael Jackson's death via Twitter - Authors Guild defends GoogleOrphanBookScansettlement June 25, 2009 Authors Guild President Roy Blount Jr. speaks out in favor of the Google books settlement. Credit: •••The Authors Guild, which hasn't said much since last fall after it settled its lawsuit with Google over the search company's book scanning project, today issued a statement defending the settlement against recent criticism. •••Specifically, the letter by author and Guild President Roy Blount Jr. addresses the topic of orphan books, which are works that are out-of-print and unclaimed by any copyright holders. You can read the entire letter here. •••The concern is that Google, having digitized millions of such books, would have a monopoly on them should the settlement be approved by a federal judge later this year. That's because the settlement lets Google use orphan works without first getting approval from their authors. The Justice Department has reportedly started an inquiry into these antitrust concerns but has not said whether it has launched a formal investigation. •••The number of orphans is tough to nail down. Some estimate it's 50% to 70% of all books published after 1923. Paul Aiken, executive director of the Guild, said that's hogwash. •••"Our experience is that we can find upwards of 80% of rights holders once an effort is made," Aiken said in an interview. •••In his letter, Blount argues that the number of orphan books, whatever it may be, will diminish over time as rights holders come forward to claim the money that Google will be obligated to set aside for authors for a period of five years and held in escrow by a newly created entity called the Book Rights Registry. •••"As the registry starts sending out royalty checks, books will exit the orphanage in a rush," Blount wrote. "Nothing gets an author's attention like a royalty check. It's not an orphan-books problem that this settlement presents. It's an orphan-books solution."
