FCC Names New Deputy General Counsel
FCC Chairman Ajit Pai has appointed Ashley Boizelle as deputy general counsel, with responsibility for administrative law issues. She started her new role Monday.

recommend decisions in adjudicatory matters, assist the commission in its decision-making
capacity, and perform a variety of legal functions regarding internal and other administrative matters.
