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.
