Workshop Notice
September 26, 2002 |
California Public Utilities Commission |
The Telecommunications Division staff (staff) will conduct a workshop pursuant to Commission Decision (D.) 02-06-072 in Rulemaking 02-02-020. D.02-06-072 implemented the current acceptable 3% error rate for telephone connections made by predictive dialers (PDs) for which no agent or telemarketer is available to speak to the person called. By D.02-06-072 the Commission also established related, interim record-keeping requirements. The workshop will address: 1) further requirements for record-keeping on these PD connections; 2) methods for educating consumers about do-not-call registers and other means to discourage unwanted calls; 3) the feasibility of accomplishing the 1% acceptable error rate in PD use that is scheduled to become the new standard on January 1, 2003, and; 4) whether a revised acceptable error rate for PD use should be made effective January 1, 2003, or on some later date.
Within 20 days of the close of the workshop, staff will file and serve its workshop recommendations to the Commission. Comments on these recommendations may be filed and served by other parties 10 days thereafter. A workshop agenda is available by clicking here:
