[Public Notice: 9660]


International Telecommunication Advisory Committee; Solicitation 
of Membership

AGENCY: Department of State.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The U.S. Coordinator for International Communications and 
Information Policy (``the Coordinator''), in the U.S. Department of 
State Bureau of Economic and Business Affairs, is accepting 
applications for membership on the International Telecommunication 
Advisory Committee (ITAC).

DATES: Applications must be received by the Department of State (at the 
email addresses at the end of this Notice) not later than August 26, 
2016.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Department of State is soliciting 
applications from subject matter experts who are U.S. citizens or legal 
permanent residents and representatives of scientific or industrial 
organizations that are engaged in the study of telecommunications or in 
the design or manufacture of equipment intended for telecommunication 
services, representatives of civil society organizations and academia, 
and individuals of any other corporation or organization engaged in 
telecommunications and information policy matters. Applicants should 
include experience participating in international organizations 
addressing telecommunications and information technical and policy 
issues, participating in U.S. preparatory activities for conferences 
and meetings of international organizations addressing technical and 
policy issues, and serving on U.S. delegations.
    The ITAC is a federal advisory committee under the authority of 22 
U.S.C. 2651a and 2656 and the Federal Advisory Committee Act, 5 U.S.C. 
Appendix. (``FACA''). The purpose of the ITAC is to advise the 
Coordinator and the Department of State with respect to, and provide 
strategic recommendations on, communication and information policy 
matters related to U.S. participation in the work of the International 
Telecommunication Union (ITU), the Organization of American States 
Inter-American Telecommunication Commission (CITEL), the Organization 
for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), the Asia Pacific 
Economic Cooperation Telecommunications & Information Working Group 
(APEC TEL) and other international bodies addressing communications and 
information policy issues.
    Members are appointed by the Coordinator and must be U.S. citizens 
or legal permanent residents of the United States, appointed as 
representative of U.S. organizations. To ensure diversity in advice, 
ITAC membership will include not more than one representative from any 
affiliated agency or organization so long as the threshold of no fewer 
than 30 members is met. Membership in subcommittees is not limited to a 
prescribed number, and there may be more than one member designated to 
a subcommittee for each affiliated agency or organization. The ITAC 
charter calls for representative members; therefore, a prospective 
member must represent a company or organization. Solo members (who 
``represent themselves'') will not be selected. ITAC members must be 
versed in the complexity of international communications and 
information policy issues and must be able to advise the Coordinator 
and the Department of State on these matters. Members are expected to 
use their expertise and provide candid advice.
    Please note that ITAC members will not be reimbursed for travel, 
per diem, nor other expenses incurred in connection with their duties 
as ITAC members. For those interested in applying, the ITAC currently 
intends to hold a meeting on or about October 12, 2016. A separate 
Federal Register notice will be published to announce the details of 
that meeting.
    How to Apply: Email applications in response to this notice to the 
addresses at the end of this notice. Applications must contain the 
following information: (1) Name of applicant; (2) citizenship of the 
applicant; (3) organizational affiliation and title, as appropriate;
