SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:  Notice of this meeting is given under the 
Federal Advisory Committee Act, 5 U.S.C. Appendix (Pub. L. 92-463). The 
NSTAC advises the President on matters related to national security and 
emergency preparedness (NS/EP) telecommunications and cybersecurity 
policy.
    Agenda: The NSTAC will hold a conference call on Thursday, November 
16, 2017, to deliberate and vote on the final draft of the NSTAC Report 
to the President on Internet and Communications Resilience which 
addresses ways in which the private sector and Government, together, 
can improve the resilience of the Internet and communications ecosystem 
(e.g., against botnets). In May 2017, the National Security Council 
(NSC), on behalf of the President, and as part of Executive Order 
13800, Strengthening the Cybersecurity of Federal Networks and Critical 
Infrastructure, Section 2 (d), requested that the President's NSTAC 
examine how the private sector and Government could improve the 
resilience of the Internet and communications ecosystem. The report 
examines threats within the Internet ecosystem and possible solutions, 
ranging from short-term remedies to long-term solutions. The NSTAC's 
goal is to inform the Administration's efforts to set cybersecurity 
priorities and develop policies to deepen Government and private 
industry cooperation. The report provides specific recommendations for 
the private sector and the Government. The draft NSTAC Report to the 
President on Internet and Communications Resilience can be found at 
https://www.dhs.gov/publication/2017-nstac-publications.
