FCBA NEWS 2 AUGUST 2010

DEAR MEMBERS :

Unlike Congress, our Bar does not recess in the August heat.However, just as Members of Congress leave Washington totravel to their home districts, we take advantage of the monthof August to recognize the key role played by FCBA membersand activities outside the Beltway.

FCBA Regional Chapters: Although the majority of FCBAmembers practice in the metropolitan Washington area, theassociation consistently expands its profile around thecountry. No matter where your travels take you you’ll find the FCBA. We havereached a record 10 chapters, each bringing its own regional flavor to the practice ofcommunications law. We also added a number of impressive new co-chairs to ourleadership in the field. Our 2010-11 chapter co-chairs are: Atlanta (JenniferHightower, Carolyn Roddy, and Kennard Woods); Florida (Will Cox, Beth Keating,David Konuch, and Frank Rullan); Midwest (Robert Neumann, Robert Reiland,Grant Spellmeyer, and Lisa Washburn); New England (David Bogan, GregoryKennan, and Julie Laine); New York (Jennifer Kostyu, LaVonda Reed-Huff, MicheleThomas, and Susanna Zwerling); Northern California (Rachelle Chong, RobertMillar, and Mary Wand); Pacific Northwest (Greg Kopta, Dan Menser, KevinMinsky, David Rice, and Angela Wu); Rocky Mountain (Stanton Dodge, CraigDonaldson, and Ray Gifford); and Texas (Brad Bayliff and Roger Borgelt). This yearwe also welcome new leadership in the Carolinas where Teresa Artis, John Stanley,and Robin Tuttle are working to form a new FCBA Chapter. If you are interested orhave friends, colleagues or clients in the Carolinas please contact John, Teresa orRobin! If you practice in Washington, the next time you find yourself in one ofthese regions, reach out to a chapter co-chair. Similarly, if you are a chapter membervisiting D.C., be sure to connect with your fellow FCBA members. Together, theWashington-based core and the small, but mighty, chapter membership can “Pay ItForward” by strengthening relationships within the Bar.

New England and Florida Chapter Programs: It’s not free ice cream, but onSeptember 30, 2010, the New England chapter will host a program onTelecommunications in Vermont. The Florida Chapter will also be hosting aprogram on September 23, 2010, in Tallahassee, FL, on Telecommunications andElectric Utilities: Current Issues. See page 6 for details and registration informationfor both events.

Seminar West: The FCBA strikes gold in San Francisco on Tuesday, October 5,2010, with the return of FCBA Seminar West, at the Moscone Center. The programis still taking shape but we have an impressive list of panelists already confirmed.Panel topics include, among others, Venture Capital, Smart Grid, and Privacy.National Broadband Plan architect Blair Levin, CPUC Commissioner DianGrueneich, and Former FCC and CPUC Commissioner Rachelle Chong are all onboard. Look for more details in the coming weeks. Whether you practice inWashington or in one of our chapters, don’t miss Seminar West!

Finally, looking outward fromWashington is another great opportunity to think abouthow to “Pay It Forward.” While so many of this initiative’s efforts may be focused onour local community and on the Bar’s efforts in D.C., we can do more. Among otherthings, we can help promote broadband adoption in rural communities and bringcommunications law and policy to colleges and law schools around the country. Ifyou are interested in volunteering please contact the FCBA offices or reach out to meat [email protected]. Our association is national, and our networking,educational, and community service efforts, as well as our FCBA activities, shouldserve the whole nation. I look forward to our continued travels together.

PANEL I : ECPA’S WILD R IDE :1986 TO 2010ECPA was enacted before thewidespread adoption of the Internet andnew technologies such as personalcomputers, email, text messaging, andmobile phones, which are now a

standard part of our lives. Since then,courts, government agencies, lawenforcement and businesses havegrappled with how to apply ECPA inthe midst of rapid technological change.Balancing privacy rights with the needsof law enforcement in the digital worldis a challenge. Our panel of experts willexplore how ECPA has beenimplemented and interpreted over itsfirst 15+ years and highlight coveragegaps, circuit-splits, and related issuesraised by growing national securitythreats and the advent of newtechnologies and applications such associal networking, online advertising,geolocation and cloud computing – allof which suggest that the time to reformECPA is now.

PANEL I I : ECPA REFORM:WHAT WE NEED MAY DEPENDON WHERE YOU S ITWhile there is widespread consensus onthe need for ECPA reform, not everyoneagrees on how it should be done or on

whether it can get done. Our panel ofexperts will explore the proposals andprospects for legislative reform of ECPA.

ANNUAL LUNCHEONCONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

Interested in Hosting an FCBA event?The FCBA greatly appreciates the support of our members’ firms andcompanies who provide space for our brown bag lunches, committeemeetings, and CLE Seminars throughout the year. We are, however, alwayslooking for new locations that can host FCBA events. We will beexperimenting with some new presentation technology in future CLEseminars, which require more technical support than we have needed in thepast.

In general terms, we need conference rooms that can seat at least 30 (more ifpossible) people at tables for brown bag lunches and committee meetingsand conference rooms that can seat a minimum of 60 for CLE seminars.Firms and companies hosting brown bag lunches provide beverages anddesserts; firms and companies hosting CLE seminars provide beverages andsnacks. CLE seminars are generally held from 6:00 – 8:30 p.m. Additionally,for CLE seminars we need facilities that can provide technology support formicrophones for as many as six speakers on a panel, the ability to tie thehouse sound system into a teleconference bridge, video projectioncapabilities for PowerPoint presentations, and access to the internet forpresentations by speakers. If your firm or company has the neededconference room facilities and capabilities and would be willing to hostfuture FCBA activities, please email Stan Zenor, [email protected], or KerryLoughney, [email protected].

Information and biographies of thescholarship recipients appear on page14 of this issue of the FCBA News.

The scholarships are awarded based ona number of different criteria, includingthe student’s predicted ability to succeedin college, past academic performance,participation in school activities, schoolattendance, service to the community,financial need, and other relevantfactors that may apply to eachindividual applicant. The scholarshipapplicants are reviewed on the basis of awritten application (includingbiographical information, academicperformance and an essay) and apersonal interview with members of theFoundation’s Board of Trustees andother FCBA volunteers.

Jamie Hedlund, Jennifer Warren, andRick Whitt served as the Foundation’sScholarship Committee Co-Chairs,overseeing the entire program. ErinDozier also provided invaluable supportto the program. The Foundationreceived applications from high schoolstudents of diverse backgrounds fromBell Multicultural, Cardozo, McKinleyTech, Theodore Roosevelt, andThurgood Marshall High Schools in theDistrict of Columbia. Twelve of thesehigh school students were then selectedfor interviews, and 11 emerged as thestrongest applicants. Nine of thesestudents were awarded scholarships;two, as they received full scholarshipsfrom their colleges, are being assignedmentors in recognition of theirqualifications. The scholarships(funded over four years) will assistthese nine students as they moveforward in their educational careers.

FUNDRAIS ING

The Foundation could not maintain orincrease the level of services it provideswithout the funds needed to do so. TheBoard of Trustees remained committedto funding scholarships and internshipsusing funds raised during the currentyear rather than drawing on theFoundation’s reserves. At the sametime, the Board hoped to further buildthe Foundation’s reserves towardseventually reaching a level at whichincome from the reserves is sufficient tohelp fund the Foundation’s on-goingwork. Fundraising is, therefore, acritical element to the Foundation’sability to fulfill its mission. Erin Dozierand Natalie Roisman co-chaired theFoundation’s Fundraising Committee,taking the lead in what was a verysuccessful year for donations,particularly for the Robert E. LeeScholarship Fund.Special thanks go to the following

In MEMORIAM

Leonard S. Joyce(1931-2010)Leonard S. Joyce, a communications lawpractitioner and resident of theWashington area, died on April 11,2010 in Los Angeles from congestiveheart failure. He was 78.

Described by his long-time partner as a“lawyer’s lawyer” who tried cases,worked on transactions, and didwhatever the clients needed to be done,Joyce specialized in the representationof radio and television stations beforethe FCC. His career extended over fivedecades, from the 1960s until hisretirement in 2002. During much ofthat time, Leonard was in partnershipwith George R. Borsari, Jr. Borsarirecalls that it was a “true partnership,”with only a one-page partners’agreement that basically provided forthe partners to agree on all matters,which Borsari recalls they did. “Ourclients didn’t belong to us individually,”Borsari remembers, “but rather to thepartnership.”

Born in Scranton, Pennsylvania, Joycegrew up in Pottsville, Pennsylvania,where he was a high-school basketballstand-out. He graduated fromGeorgetown University in 1953 andreceived his law degree fromGeorgetown’s law school two years later.He served in the Army for three yearsafter law school and then worked at theFCC for three years.

In 1962, Joyce joined the existing lawpractice of Harry Daly, and a few yearslater Borsari arrived to form thecommunications law firm of Daly, Joyce& Borsari. Joyce and Borsari continuedto practice together until 1985. Joycesubsequently formed the law firm ofBlair, Joyce & Silva with Forbes Blairand William D. Silva, with whom hepracticed for a number of years. Heconcluded his legal career as a solopractitioner.

Among Joyce’s clients were a formerpresident of the National Association ofBroadcasters and a number of broadcaststations in Kentucky. Joyce owned aradio station in Kentucky and was

named a “Kentucky Colonel” by thestate’s governor. A former colleaguedescribes Joyce as “Irish to the core.”Another recalls him as big-hearted,passionate, fond of singing, hard-working, and somewhat technologicallychallenged (he clung to dictation whenthe legal world had moved to wordprocessing).

An avid golfer and devoted family man,Joyce resided in Bethesda and attendedOur Lady of Mercy Catholic Church inPotomac. He socialized with othercommunications lawyers, oftenlunching at “Mr. Day’s” in the vicinity ofthe FCC’s former headquarters at 19thand M Streets, N.W.

He is survived by his wife of 53 years,Mary Jo McQuail Joyce, four children –Stephanie Farrell of Bethesda, TriciaJoyce Burriss and L. Stephen Joyce, Jr.,both of New York, and Mae Rhoten ofLos Angeles – and ten grandchildren.
