Legislative committees to jointly screen NCC nominees

The legislative committees of transportation, education and culture will begin to jointly review a list of nominees for the National Communications Commission (NCC), which is expected to be put to a vote at a legislative meeting on July 18, according to a resolution adopted by the legislature yesterday.

The Executive Yuan submitted a list of seven nominees for the nation’s top communications industry regulator earlier this month to the Legislative Yuan for screening and approval.

Among the seven candidates, Hsieh Chin-nan (謝進男) is the only incumbent NCC member to be renominated, while Liu Chorng-jian (劉崇堅), a professor of economics at National Taipei University, is the only nominee affiliated with a political party. Liu is a member of the Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT).

The other nominees are Weng Hsiao-ling (翁曉玲), an associate professor of law at the Institute of Law for Science and Technology at National Tsing Hua University; Chen Cheng-tsang (陳正倉), a professor of economics at National Taiwan University; Lee Ta-sung (李大嵩), a professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering at National Chiao Tung University; Chung Chi-hui (鍾起惠), director of the Department of Journalism at Shih Hsin University; and Peng Yun (彭芸), a professor of journalism at National Chengchi University.
