The mission of the Committee is to make recommendations to the

digital communication services and products for all people of the

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
[[Page 33882]]
with, the provisions of the FACA (5 U.S.C. App. 10). 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 Chairwoman
of the FCC, unless its charter is renewed prior to the termination
date.
During this term, 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 the Committee's work
between meetings of the full Committee. Meetings of the Committee will
be fully accessible to individuals with disabilities.
