DEPARTMENT OF STATE

[Public Notice 8386]


Advisory Committee on the Secretary of State's Strategic Dialogue 
With Civil Society; Notice of the Renewal of an Advisory Committee

    This is notice of the renewal of the Secretary's Foreign Affairs 
Policy Board. The Board serves the United States Government in a solely 
advisory capacity concerning major issues and problems in U.S. foreign 
policy, including performance of the following functions: Assess global 
threats and opportunities; identify trends that implicate core national 
security interests; provide recommendations with respect to tools and 
capacities of the civilian foreign affairs agencies; define priorities 
and strategic frameworks for U.S. foreign policy; and any other 
research and analysis of topics raised by the Secretary of State, the 
Deputy Secretaries, or the Director of Policy Planning.
    The Board consults with other interested parties, agencies, and 
interagency committees and groups of the United States Government, 
foreign governments, and with national and international private sector 
organizations and individuals, as the Department of State and the Board 
decide are necessary or desirable.
    The Board, comprised of up to twenty-five distinguished citizens 
from the private sector, nongovernmental organizations, think tanks and 
academia, provides the Secretary with a fresh perspective and insight 
apart from, and independent of, the State Department organization. It 
does not perform the function of any existing Department staff or 
committee.
    For further information, please contact the Board's Designated 
Federal Officer, Andrew McCracken, at [email protected].

    Dated: July 11, 2013.
David McKean,
Director, Office of Policy Planning, U.S. Department of State.
