GSA intends to organize panel 

discussions around each of the three 

topic areas (General Program Design, 

Buying Practices, and Implementation). 

Each panel discussion will include up 

to five panelists and is expected to run

wishing to participate as a panel 

member should email Mr. Matthew

three topics they wish to address.

selecting panelists, GSA will seek an 

array of perspectives, backgrounds, and 

views. 

As part of the facilitated dialogue, 

GSA and OMB employees will ask the 

panelists questions. Time permitting, 

other attendees may also be invited to 

ask questions. Time will be reserved 

before the conclusion of the meeting for 

attendees to comment on issues not 

already addressed.

deadline to participate on a panel may 

be accepted if space permits.

may also attend virtually through GSA’s
