SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The DAC-DI is being renewed in accordance
with the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA) (5 U.S.C. appendix) and

The DAC-DI shall examine and provide recommendations to improve
racial/ethnic diversity, inclusion, and equal opportunity within the
DoD, with a primary focus on military personnel. The DAC-DI shall
conduct studies, make findings, and provide recommendations on matters
and policies relating to improving racial/ethnic diversity, inclusion,
and equal opportunity within the DoD, as determined by the Secretary of
Defense and the Deputy Secretary of Defense
[[Page 64779]]
(``the DoD Appointing Authority'') or the Under Secretary of Defense
for Personnel and Readiness (USD(P&R)). All DAC-DI work will be in
response to written terms of reference (TOR) approved by the DoD
Appointing Authority or the USD(P&R) unless otherwise provided by in
statute or Presidential directive.
The DAC-DI shall be composed of no more than 20 members, who have
distinguished backgrounds and experience in one or more of the
following disciplines: defense or national security, organizational or
human resources management, constitutional or employment law, and
diversity and inclusion. These members will come from varied
backgrounds including academia and the public and private sectors.
DAC-DI members who are not full-time or permanent part-time Federal
civilian officers or employees, or active duty members of the Uniformed
Services, shall be appointed as experts or consultants, pursuant to 5
U.S.C. 3109, to serve as special government employee members. DAC-DI
members who are full-time or permanent part-time Federal civilian

service of one-to-two years, with annual renewal, which shall not
exceed the member's approved DAC-DI appointment.
All members of the DAC-DI are appointed to exercise their own best
judgement on behalf of the DoD, without representing any particular
point of view, and to discuss and deliberate in a manner that is free
from conflicts of interest. With the exception of reimbursement of
official DAC-DI-related travel and per diem, DAC-DI members serve
without compensation.
The public or interested organizations may submit written
statements to the DAC-DI membership about the DAC-DI'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-DI. All
written statements shall be submitted to the DFO for the DAC-DI, and
this individual will ensure that the written statements are provided to
the membership for their consideration.
