ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for
International Communications and Information Policy, in the Bureau of
Economic and Business Affairs, is accepting applications for membership
on the International Digital Economy and Telecommunication (IDET)
Advisory Committee, formerly known as the International
Telecommunication Advisory Committee (ITAC).
DATES: Applications should be sent by email to <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#92dbd6d7c6d2e1e6f3e6f7bcf5fde4"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="3a737e7f6e7a494e5b4e5f145d554c">[email protected]</span></a> by close
of business on December 8, 2021.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The purpose of the IDET is to advise the
Department of State with respect to, and provide strategic planning
recommendations on, digital economy, digital connectivity, economic
aspects of emerging digital technologies, telecommunications, and
communication and information policy matters, including those related
to the U.S. participation in the work of the International
Telecommunication Union (ITU), the Organization of American States
Inter-American Telecommunication Commission (CITEL), the Organization
for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), the Asia Pacific
Economic Cooperation (APEC) Forum Telecommunications and Information
Working Group, the Group of Seven (G7), the Group of Twenty (G20)
Digital Economy Task Force, and relevant standards setting bodies. Its
Charter is accessible here: <a href="https://www.state.gov/international-digital-economy-and-telecommunication-advisory-committee/">https://www.state.gov/international-digital-economy-and-telecommunication-advisory-committee/</a>.
Qualifications and Membership: IDET Members are appointed by the
Deputy Assistant Secretary and must be U.S. citizens or legal permanent
residents of the United States. The IDET charter calls for
representative members; therefore, a prospective member must represent
a company or organization. Solo members (i.e., who ``represent
themselves'') will not be selected. To ensure diversity in advice, IDET
membership will include not more than one representative from any
affiliated agency or organization so long as the threshold of no fewer
than 20 members is met. IDET members must be versed in the complexity
of international communications and information policy issues and must
be able to advise the Department of State on these matters. Members are
expected to use their expertise and provide candid advice. Please note
that IDET members will not be reimbursed for travel, per diem, nor
other expenses incurred in connection with their duties as IDET
members.
How to Apply: Applicants should email applications in response to
this notice to <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#cb828f8e9f8bb8bfaabfaee5aca4bd"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="3c757879687c4f485d4859125b534a">[email protected]</span></a>. Applications must contain the following
information: (1) Name of applicant; (2) citizenship of the applicant or
residency status; (3) organizational affiliation and title; (4) mailing
address; (5) work telephone number; (6) email address; (7)
r[eacute]sum[eacute]; (8) brief statement of interest for IDET
membership of no more than 300 words; and (9) confirmation that your
organization or company expects you to represent their interests. The
Department will identify suitable candidates with a view to maintaining
membership balance and diversity of viewpoint, with advice, as
necessary, from the Federal Communication Commission (FCC) and National
Telecommunication and Information Administration (NTIA).

Officer (DFO) Daniel Oates or Brian Mattys at <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#a3eae7e6f7e3d0d7c2d7c68dc4ccd5"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="622b2627362211160316074c050d14">[email protected]</span></a>, or (202)
