The FTC will be holding a virtual open meeting on Thursday, September 19, 2024, starting at 11 a.m. ET.
FTC Chair Lina Khan “will offer brief remarks and will then invite members of the public to share feedback on the Commission’s work generally and bring relevant matters to the Commission’s attention. . . . Each commenter will be given two minutes to share their comments.”
Although the agenda (shockingly) does not include noncompetes, I cannot imagine how they are going to avoid a discussion of the legal changes to the noncompete rule — it’s the elephant in the room. (If you want a detailed history of the FTC’s rule and challenges through September 7, 2024, see ATS Tree Services noncompete case, snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.)
If you plan to speak, you must sign up by Tuesday, September 17, 2024 at 8:00 p.m. ET. (Anyone surprised that I will be speaking?)
If you can’t make it, you can submit a two-minute, prerecorded video through the FTC’s webform.
The FTC will provide a link to the meeting on the day of the event, shortly before it starts via FTC.gov. The FTC will also record the meeting and make it available on its website afterward.
