President Obama has nominated Mingon Clyburn to a full
five-year term as an FCC Commissioner. A Democrat, Clyburn was appointed to the
commission in 2009 to fill out the unexpired term of Republican Commissioner
Deborah Taylor Tate, who had resigned. According to the ARRL Letter, FCC
Chairman Julius Genachowski called Clyburn's renomination "an outstanding
choice for the Commission and for the American people." Clyburn's nomination
requires Senate confirmation.
