discuss administrative and planning items, including future meetings 
and a timeline for possible subcommittee reports to the full Committee.
    At the meeting, the Acting Chief Privacy Officer will provide an 
update on the activities of the Privacy Office. The subcommittees will 
update the Committee on the work currently being conducted and plan to 
finalize the Framework for Privacy Analysis of Programs, Technologies,

redress offices at DHS on policies and procedures for handling citizen 
concerns. This will be followed by a panel of international privacy 
commissioners discussing cross border cooperation.
    Public comments will be accepted during the meeting, between 4 p.m. 
and 4:30 p.m. All those who wish to testify during this time may 
register in advance or sign-up on the day of the meeting. In order to 
allow as many people as possible to testify, witnesses should limit 
their remarks to three minutes. Due to limited seating, any member of
