SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Due to circumstances beyond the control of 
the Department of Defense (DoD) and the Designated Federal Officer, the 
Defense Innovation Board was unable to provide public notification 
required by 41 CFR 102-3.150(a) concerning the meeting on October 10, 
2018 of the Defense Innovation Board. 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) (5 U.S.C., Appendix), the 
Government in the Sunshine Act (5 U.S.C. 552b) (``the Sunshine Act''), 
and 41 CFR 102-3.140 and 102-3.150.
    Purpose of the Meeting: The mission of the DIB 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 processes, business and functional concepts, and 
technology applications. The DIB focuses on (a) technology and 
capabilities, (b) practices and operations, and (c) people and culture.
    Agenda: During the closed portion of the meeting, the Board will 
discuss the National Defense Strategy with the Secretary of Defense, 
especially as it relates to artificial intelligence (AI) and software 
capabilities. The board will also meet with the Chief Information 
Officer to discuss AI principles and the Joint AI Center (JAIC). During 
the open portion of the meeting, the DIB will hear expert presentations 
on AI. Experts include Dr. Heather Roff, Sr. Research Analyst, John 
Hopkins University Applied Physics Lab, and Dr. Andrew Lohn, Engineer, 
RAND Corporation. The DIB will deliberate on artificial intelligence 
principles for defense and data as a strategic asset, as well as 
receive an update on progress on the Software Acquisition and Practices 
(SWAP) study directed in the National Defense Authorization Act for 
Fiscal Year 2018 (``the FY18 NDAA''). The DIB will hear from experts 
regarding SWAP study activities within DoD. Experts include Mr. Jeff 
Boleng, Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and 
Sustainment; Mr. Leo Garciga, Defense Threat Reduction Agency; Dr. Amy 
Henninger, Office of the Chief Management Officer; Ms. Philomena 
Zimmerman, Office of the Undersecretary of Defense for Research and 
Engineering; Ms. Jane Rathbun, Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Navy 
for Command, Control, Computers, Intelligence, Information Operations 
and Space; Major Justin Ellsworth, U.S. Air Force, Congressional 
Research Service. Additionally, Mr. Joshua Marcuse, in his role as the 
Innovation Advisor to the Chief Management Officer, will brief the DIB 
on DoD's latest implementation activities related to DIB 
recommendations. Members of the public will have an opportunity to 
provide oral comments to the DIB regarding its deliberations and 
potential recommendations. See below for additional information on how 
to sign up to provide public comments.
    Meeting Accessibility: Pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552b(c)(1), the DoD has 
determined that the portion of the meeting from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 
p.m. shall be closed to the public. The USD(R&E), in consultation with 
the Office of the DoD General Counsel, has determined in writing that 
this portion of the DIB's meeting will be closed as the discussions 
will 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. 
Pursuant to Federal statutes and regulations (the FACA, the Sunshine 
Act, and 41 CFR 102-3.140 through 102-3.165) and the availability of 
space, the meeting is open to the public from 2:30 p.m. to 5:00 p.m.

attend the meeting or wanting to receive a link to the live stream

    Special Accommodations: Individuals requiring special 
accommodations to access the public meeting should contact the 
Designated Federal Officer (DFO), see For Further Information Contact 
section for contact information, no later than October 8, 2018, so that 
appropriate arrangements can be made.

written comments to the DIB about its approved agenda pertaining to

specific topic being discussed at the planned meeting, then such 
comments must be received in writing not later than October 9, 2018. 
The DFO will compile all written submissions and provide them to DIB 
members for consideration.
    Oral Presentations: Individuals wishing to make an oral statement 
to the DIB at the public meeting may be permitted to speak for up to 
two minutes. Anyone wishing to speak to the DIB should submit a request 
by email at osd.innovation@mail.mil not later than October 9, 2018 for 
planning. Requests for oral comments should include a copy or summary
