VIDEOLIB is intended to encourage the broad and lively discussion of issues 
relating to the selection, evaluation, acquisition,bibliographic control, 
preservation, and use of current and evolving video formats in libraries and 
related institutions. It is hoped that the list will serve as an effective

between libraries,educational institutions, and video producers and 
distributors.

Hi MIchele, I'd nominate WInter Nomads . ANd also Manakamana from Sensory 
Ethnography Lab. 


I'd like to participate in VRT -- don't know how to go about it. I've been 
going to NMM for several years now. If you need folks to review films, serve on 
the committee, etc., I'd like to volunteer. 


What next? I also wrote to Laura. 


ooh, deadline maybe passed. Oh, well, day late and a dollar short  still

 *Upton and Walden Release #CommActUpdate White Paper on Video Policy*

 *Latest White Paper Continues Committee’s Request for Public Input Ahead

*WASHINGTON, DC –* House Energy and Commerce Committee Chairman Fred Upton
(R-MI) and Communications and Technology Subcommittee Chairman Greg Walden
(R-OR) today continued the process of gathering public input ahead of the

released today explores the laws governing the market for video content
distribution.

“As we often noted during our work to reauthorize the satellite television
law, the marketplace for video content and distribution has changed
dramatically in recent years and continues to evolve. We are long removed
from the days of one TV per household, bulky box sets that often doubled as
living room furniture. Now, Americans are clamoring for more content and
choices, and the ability to view videos whether home or on the go on the
platform of their choosing,” said Upton and Walden. “This white paper asks
important questions that will inform the #CommActUpdate

process about these ever-changing dynamics. We look forward to the spirited
responses which have followed each prior white paper and expect to begin
putting pen-to-paper in the coming months.”

Although this white paper is focused on specific video regulation, the
committee encourages comment on any aspect of updating the Communications
Act. Responses are requested by January 23, 2015, to
commactupd...@mail.house.gov.
