The agenda for the meeting included a report of each of the CEDC working groups.

The Diversity and Equity Working Group reported on its progress in examining how the FCC can affirmatively advance equity, civil rights, racial justice, and equal opportunity in the telecommunications industry to address inequalities in workplace employment policies and programs. The Digital Empowerment and Inclusion Working Group reported on their efforts to identify innovative solutions and provide recommendations for how to accelerate the equitable deployment of broadband access in all communities, including those communities that comprise people of color and others who have been historically underserved. The meeting was convened in an online format on February 23, 2023, and was available to the public via live feed from the FCC’s web page at www.fcc.gov/live and on the FCC’s YouTube channel.
