Security Information Network (HSIN) Program Office. This committee 
provides advice and recommendations to the U.S. Department of Homeland 
Security (DHS) on matters relating to HSIN. These matters include 
system requirements, operating policies, community organization,

under the Federal Advisory Committee Act, 5 U.S.C. Appendix. The HSINAC 
provides advice and recommendations to DHS on matters relating to HSIN.

Agenda

    The Agenda will have three major components. The first, Program 
Updates, will provide the HSINAC with information necessary to discuss 
and develop recommendations on specific advice related to the critical 
mission areas in which HSIN achieves growth in its user base and/or 
mission application, and how mission can establish a clear, reusable 
set of mission based outcome measures which will adequately convey the 
actual mission impact that HSIN has in homeland security operations. 
The second, Recommendations Development, will involve the deliberation 
by the HSINAC on the major issue area of defining Focused Mission 
Growth outcome measures to assist the Program in defining user success 
moving forward.

recent alignment with ISEO and OCIO.
    ii. The State of HSIN--Members are provided a strategic update on

    iii. Focused Mission Growth--Members will hear about the Program's 
goals to enhance the quality of the HSIN user experience while adding 
mission value through a feedback session with the group.
    iv. HSIN Annual Assessment--Members are given an overview of the 
HSIN Annual Report process and partake in a short focus group session 
to assist in the development of partner-focused success stories 
illustrating HSIN's role in fulfilling its mission to be the central 
provider of information sharing capabilities that allow for 
collaboration, situational awareness, and information exchange to 
fulfill our partner's homeland security mission areas.
2. Recommendations Development
    a. Mission Focused Outcomes--Members will partake in a session to 
ensure that HSIN's operation and support is aligned with mission 
events, major incidents, and issues, assisting the HSIN Program with 
defining its mission based outcome measures.
