[email protected].
    For meeting information and to submit written comments or questions 
to the Board, email [email protected]. Please include in the 
subject line ``DIB January 2017 Meeting''.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Due to circumstances beyond the control of 
the Department of Defense, the Defense Innovation Board is unable to 
provide public notification, as required by 41 CFR 102-3.150(a), for 
its meeting on Monday, January 9, 2017. Accordingly, the Advisory 
Committee Management Officer for the Department of Defense, pursuant to 
41 CFR 102-3.150(b), waives the 15-calendar day notification 
requirement.
    This meeting is being held under the provisions of the Federal 
Advisory Committee Act (FACA) of 1972 (5 U.S.C. Appendix, as amended), 
the Government in the Sunshine Act of 1976 (5 U.S.C. 552b, as amended), 
and 41 CFR 102-3.140.
    Purpose of the Meeting. The mission of the Board is to examine and 
provide the Secretary of Defense and the Deputy Secretary of Defense 
independent advice and recommendations on innovative means to address 
future challenges in terms of integrated change to organizational 
structure and

[[Page 95972]]

processes, business and functional concepts, and technology 
applications. The Board focuses on (a) technology and capabilities, (b) 
practices and operations, and (c) people and culture.
    Meeting Agenda. During the open portion of the meeting, the Board 
will deliberate and propose observations on how to expand and advance 
innovation across the Department of Defense. These findings will be 
based upon discussions and preliminary recommendations from the October 
2016 Public Meeting, and observations since that gathering. The Board 
is scheduled to vote on these recommendations.
    Specifically, the Board will deliberate and vote on each of the 
following interim recommendations: (1) Assess Cyber Security 
Vulnerabilities; (2) Catalyze Innovations in Artificial Intelligence 
and Machine Learning; (3) Align Risk and Incentives for Acquisition; 
(4) Sustain and Increase Support for Promising Approaches to 
Innovation; (5) Promote Access of DoD Computer Code; (6) Push Software 
Development to the ``Front Line;'' (7) Modernize Information 
Technology; and (8) Reward Bureaucracy Busting. The Board will also 
deliberate on a potential new recommendation to build a data center to 
collect all DoD data in a central location for ease of access and 
analysis.
    In addition, the Board will be briefed on the Secretary's 
announcement to adopt the following three preliminary recommendations 
and comment on the Department's draft implementation planning: (1) Make 
computer science a core competency of the Department by increasing the 
focus on recruiting talented computer scientists and software engineers 
into the military and civilian workforce; (2) invest more broadly in 
machine learning through targeted challenges, prize competitions, and a 
virtual center of excellence model that establishes stretch goals and 
incentivizes academic and private sector researchers to achieve them; 
and (3) create a DoD Chief Innovation Officer to act as a senior 
advisor to the Secretary of Defense and serve as a spearhead for 
innovation activities.
    Lastly, the Board will discuss potential recommendations and advice 
for the incoming Secretary of Defense to help keep DoD imbued with a 
culture of innovation to better protect the nation and its allies, and 
stay ahead of future threats.
    During the closed portion of the meeting, the Board will present 
more detailed discussions of their observations and recommendations to 
senior leaders from the Office of the Secretary of Defense. They will 
also receive informational briefings from staff members in the Office 
of the Secretary of Defense. These presentations and resulting 
discussions will include classified information.
    Public Accessibility to the Meeting. Pursuant to federal statutes 
and regulations (5 U.S.C. 552b, and 41 CFR 102-3.140 through 102-3.165) 
and the availability of space, the meeting is open to the public from 
9:00 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. Seating is on a first-come basis. Anyone 
wishing to attend the meeting must send a request to 
[email protected]. Please include your full name, title, email 
address, phone number, organization, and whether you require an escort 
or not. The subject line should read ``Registration for DIB January 
2017 Meeting''. Requests for registration must be submitted in writing 
by January 3, 2017.
    Public attendees requiring an escort should arrive at the Pentagon 
Visitors Center, located near the Pentagon Metro Station's south exit 
(the escalators to the left upon exiting through the turnstiles) and 
adjacent to the Pentagon Transit Center bus terminal, with sufficient 
time to complete security screening no later than 8:15 a.m. on January 
9, 2017. Please note that Pentagon tour groups also enter through the 
Visitors Center, so attendees should be prepared to stand in line. To 
complete security screening, you must present two forms of government-
issued identification, of which, one must include a photograph. While 
some federal government and military employees are Common Access Card 
holders and are not required to have an escort, they may be required to 
pass through the Visitors Center to gain access to the Pentagon.
    Special Accommodations: Individuals requiring special 
accommodations to access the public meeting should include this 
information when registering so that appropriate arrangements can be 
made.
    Pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552b(c)(1), the DoD has determined that the 
portion of the meetings from 11:00 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. shall be closed to 
the public. The Assistant Deputy Chief Management Officer, in 
consultation with the Office of the DoD General Counsel, has determined 
in writing that this portion of the committee's meeting will be closed 
as the discussions may involve classified matters of national security. 
Such classified material is so inextricably intertwined with the 
unclassified material that it cannot reasonably be segregated into 
separate discussions without disclosing matters that are classified 
SECRET or higher.
    Procedures for Providing Public Comments. Pursuant to section 
10(a)(3) of the Federal Advisory Committee Act of 1972 and 41 CFR 102-
3.140, the public or interested organizations may submit written 
comments to the Board about its approved agenda pertaining to this 
meeting or at any time regarding the Board's mission. Individuals 
submitting a written statement must submit their statement to the 
Executive Director at [email protected]. Written comments that do 
not pertain to a scheduled meeting may be submitted at any time. 
However, if individual comments pertain to a specific topic being 
discussed at the planned meeting, then such comments must be received 
in writing not later than January 4, 2017. The Executive Director will 
compile all written submissions received by the deadline, and provide 
them to Board Members prior to the meeting. Comments received after 
this date may not be provided to or considered by the Board until a 
later date.

    Dated: December 23, 2016.
