SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Administrator of GSA established the OG 
FAC as a discretionary advisory committee under agency authority in 
accordance with the provisions of the Federal Advisory Committee Act 
(FACA), as amended, 5 U.S.C. ch. 10.
    The OG FAC serves as an advisory body to GSA on open government 
initiatives including GSA's creation, implementation and monitoring of 
U.S. Open Government National Action Plans (NAPs) and commitment 
themes. The initial focus for the OG FAC will be to provide advice to 
GSA on the development of NAP 6, Open Government Policy, and Public 
Engagement. The OG FAC advises GSA's Administrator on emerging open 
government issues, challenges and opportunities to support GSA's U.S. 
Open Government Secretariat.

Purpose of the Meetings

    The purpose of these meetings is to continue the work of the 
advisory committee by further developing committee norms for the 
operation of the committee, a framework for recommendations for the 
U.S. National Action Plan 6 (NAP 6), and a framework for 
recommendations on emerging open government issues. These meetings may 
include presentations, deliberations, and voting by members on five 
subject areas:
     Evaluation: How to best evaluate ideas for inclusion in 
the OG FAC recommendations and to establish a rubric for evaluating, 
comparing, and ranking recommendations.
     Engagement: How to request, receive, and disclose input 
from stakeholders.
     Structure: How to best structure the committee, in 
particular, how the subcommittees meet the duties of the committee.
     Recommendations: How to best develop, evaluate, engage, 
and structure the recommendations for NAP 6 and on emerging open 
government issues.
     Deliberation: The committee may consider substantive ideas 
for inclusion in the committee's recommendations.
    The public is invited to attend and provide oral comments in these 
meetings. All three meetings are virtual-only and will be recorded.
