You are granting to the FNC powers that make it appear to be the FCC.  
It is an interagency organization with limited real power. Attempting  
to grant it such rule making powers will no doubt cause the oversight  
of the networking to pass to those people who regulate -- like the  
FCC.

I will withhold my view of the Dialog issue till I see full facts and  
not partial information.
