The Executive Committee will be reappointed every two years, and the Membership Standing Committee will serve as the Nominating Committee for this purpose. The Chair and other institutional administrative and faculty representatives would be voted in, and the agency representatives will be appointed by the participating agencies. The Executive Committee will then choose a representative from each of the FDP standing committees to serve on the Executive Committee. Membership is currently open to federal agencies and affiliates but not to institutional organizations until the advent of Phase IV in June, 2002. However, there are many opportunities for non members to participate.
FDP friends are welcome to attend meetings and participate in discussions.
