FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Jim Freeman, Advisory Committee 
Management Officer for the Department of Defense, 703-692-5952.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This committee's charter is being 
established in accordance with the Federal Advisory Committee Act 
(FACA) of 1972 (5 U.S.C., Appendix, as amended) and 41 CFR 102-3.50(d). 
The Board's charter and contact information for the Board's Designated

The Board provides the Secretary of Defense advice and recommendations 
on innovative means to address future challenges in terms of integrated 
change to organizational structure and process, business and functional 
concepts, and technology applications. The Board will be composed of no 
more than 15 members who possess some or all of the following: (a) A 
proven track record of sound judgment in leading or governing large, 
complex private sector corporations or organizations; (b) demonstrated 
performance in identifying and adopting new technology innovations into 
the operations of large organizations in either the public or private 
sector; and (c) demonstrated performance in developing new technology 
concepts. Members who are not full-time or permanent part-time Federal 
officers or employees will be appointed as experts or consultants 
pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 3109 to serve as special government employee 
members. Members who are full-time or permanent part-time Federal 
officers or employees will be appointed pursuant to 41 CFR 102-3.130(a) 
to serve as regular government employee members. All members are 
appointed to provide advice on behalf of the Government on the basis of 
their best judgment without representing any particular point of view 
and in a manner that is free from conflict of interest. Except for 
reimbursement of official Board-related travel and per diem, members 
serve without compensation.
    The DoD, as necessary and consistent with the Board's mission and 
DoD policies and procedures, may establish subcommittees, task forces, 
or working groups to support the Board, and all subcommittees must 
operate under the provisions of FACA and the Government in the Sunshine 
Act. Subcommittees will not work independently of the Board and must 
report all their recommendations and advice solely to the Board for 
full deliberation and discussion. Subcommittees, task forces, or 
working groups have no authority to make decisions and recommendations, 
verbally or in writing, on behalf of the Board. No subcommittee or any 
of its members can update or report, verbally or in writing, directly 
to the DoD or any Federal officers or employees. The Board's DFO, 
pursuant to DoD policy, must be a full-time or permanent part-time DoD 
employee, and must be in attendance for the duration of each and every 
Board/subcommittee meeting. The public or interested organizations may 
submit written statements to the Board membership about the Board's 
mission and functions. Written statements may be submitted at any time 
or in response to the stated agenda of planned meeting of the Board. 
All written statements shall be submitted to the DFO for the Board, and 
this individual will ensure that the written statements are provided to 
the membership for their consideration.
