Once that step is done then they will put out a date when the final submissions are due. The final submissions can contain additional support statements for a position so I would think a letter from TC endorsing the FMCC position would be useful in the Final Submission (it can only be a max of 15 pages so if space permits [smiles]) .. But we can post it on the web site and reference it as a link and in the body of our final submission.</div><div><br></div><div><i>From the CRTC site, the revised dates for this consultation is described as:</i></div><div><i><br></i></div><div><div><i>Accordingly, the Commission revises certain procedural dates set out in Telecom Notice of Consultation 2017-112.

<p>Hello folks. At today's teleconference Brian Beaton mentioned
that the First Mile Connectivity Consortium was actively engaged
in discussions regarding the new $750M CRTC fund to support rural
and remote connectivity. Apparently there is still time to support
FMCC's intervention which I have linked below. <br>

<p><font face="Times New Roman,Times,serif">Unless there are
objections, perhaps Brian could let us know how we can support
this at this stage of the game.</font><br>
</p>
<p> I really like Appendix 2 (p.22) highlighting non-profits'
consensus broadband fund design principles signed by a number of
public interest organizations.</p>
