SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The DAC-IPAD's charter is being renewed in

Pursuant to section 546(c)(1) of the FY 2015 NDAA, the DAC-IPAD
shall provide independent advice and recommendations to the Secretary
of Defense and the Deputy Secretary of Defense on the investigation,
prosecution, and defense of allegations of rape, forcible sodomy,
sexual assault, and other sexual misconduct involving members of the
Armed Forces, based on its ongoing review of cases. Pursuant to Section
546(c)(2) and (d) of the FY 2015 NDAA, the DAC-IPAD, not later than
March 30 of each year, will submit to the Secretary of Defense through
the General Counsel of the Department of Defense (GC DoD), and the
Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and House of
Representatives, a report describing the results of the activities of
the DAC-IPAD pursuant to Section 546 of the FY 2015 NDAA, as amended,
during the preceding year. The DAC-IPAD will also focus on matters of
special interest to the DoD, as determined by the Secretary of Defense,
the Deputy Secretary of Defense, or the GC DoD, as the DAC-IPAD's
sponsor.
Pursuant to Section 546(b) of the FY 2015 NDAA, the DAC-IPAD will
be composed of no more than 20 members who must have extensive
experience and subject matter expertise in the investigation,
prosecution, or defense of allegations of sexual offenses. DAC-IPAD
members may include Federal and State prosecutors, judges, law
professors, and private attorneys. Members of the Armed Forces serving
on active duty may not serve as DAC-IPAD members.
Individual members are appointed according to DoD policy and
procedures, and serve a term of service of one-to-four years with
annual renewals. One member will be appointed as Chair of the DAC-IPAD.
No member, unless approved according to DoD policy and procedures, may
serve more than two consecutive terms of service on the DAC-IPAD, or
serve on more than two DoD Federal advisory committees at one time.
DAC-IPAD members who are not full-time or permanent part-time
Federal civilian officers or employees, or active duty members of the
Uniformed Services, are appointed as experts or consultants, pursuant
to 5 U.S.C. 3109, to serve as special government employee members. DAC-
IPAD members who are full-time or permanent part-time Federal civilian
officers or employees, or active duty members of the Uniformed Services
are appointed pursuant to 41 CFR 102-
[[Page 8239]]
3.130(a), to serve as regular government employee members.
All DAC-IPAD members are appointed to provide advice based on 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 DAC-IPAD-related travel and per diem, members
serve without compensation.
The public or interested organizations may submit written
statements about the DAC-IPAD's mission and functions. Written
statements may be submitted at any time or in response to the stated
agenda of planned meeting of the DAC-IPAD. All written statements shall
be submitted to the DFO for the DAC-IPAD, and this individual will
ensure that the written statements are provided to the membership for
their consideration.
