SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: After consultation with the General Services

The mission of the Committee is to make recommendations to the
Commission on advancing equity in the provision of and access to
digital communication services and products for all people of the
United States, without discrimination on the basis of race, color,
religion, national origin, sex, or disability. It shall provide
recommendations to the Commission on how to empower people of color and
others who have been historically underserved, including persons who
live in rural areas, and persons otherwise adversely affected by
persistent poverty or inequality, to access, leverage, and benefit from
the wide range of opportunities made possible by technology,
communication services and next-generation networks.
Advisory Committee
The Committee will be organized under, and will operate in
accordance with, the provisions of the FACA (5 U.S.C. App. 2). The
Committee will be solely advisory in nature. Consistent with FACA and
its requirements, each meeting of the Committee will be open to the
public unless otherwise noticed. A notice of each meeting will be
published in the Federal Register at least fifteen (15) days in advance
of the meeting. Records will be maintained of each meeting and made
available for public inspection. All activities of the Committee will
be conducted in an open, transparent, and accessible manner. The
Committee shall terminate two (2) years from the filing date of its
charter, or earlier upon the completion of its work as determined by
the Chair of the FCC, unless its charter is renewed prior to the
termination date.
During this term, the Committee's third, it is anticipated that the
Committee will meet approximately three (3) times a year. The first
meeting date and agenda topics will be described in a Public Notice
issued and published in the Federal Register at least fifteen (15) days
prior to the first meeting date. In addition, as needed, working groups
or subcommittees (ad hoc or steering) will be established to facilitate

of the Committee will be fully accessible to individuals with
disabilities.
