SUMMARY: The Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for Cyber and

Telecommunication Advisory Committee (ITAC).

DATES: Applications must be received by the Department of State (at the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Department of State is soliciting

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 
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

information policy issues.
    Members are appointed by the Department and must be U.S. citizens 
or legal permanent residents of the United States, who will serve as 
representatives of U.S. organizations. The ITAC charter calls for 
representative members; therefore, a prospective member must represent

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 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.
