SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This meeting is being held under the
provisions of chapter 10 of title 5, United States Code (U.S.C.)
(commonly known as the ``Federal Advisory Committee Act'' or ``FACA''),
5 U.S.C. 552b (commonly known as the ``Government in the Sunshine
Act''), and 41 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 102-3.140 and 102-
3.150.
Due to circumstances beyond the control of the DFO and the DoD, the
DIB was unable to provide public notification required by 41 CFR 102-
3.150(a) concerning its January 26, 2024 meeting. Accordingly, the
Advisory Committee Management Officer for the Department of Defense,
pursuant to 41 CFR 102-3.150(b), waives the 15-calendar day
notification requirement.
Purpose of Meeting: The mission of the DIB is to provide the
Secretary of Defense, the Deputy Secretary of Defense, and the Under
Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering (USD(R&E))
independent advice and strategic insights on emerging and disruptive
technologies and their impact on national security, adoption of
commercial sector innovation best practices, and ways to leverage the
U.S. innovation ecosystem to align structures, processes, and human
capital practices to accelerate and scale innovation adoption, foster a
culture of innovation and an experimentation mindset, and enable the
DoD to build enduring advantages. The DIB focuses on innovation-related
issues and topics raised by the Secretary of Defense, the Deputy
Secretary of Defense, or the USD(R&E). The objective of this DIB
meeting is to obtain, review, and evaluate information related to the
DIB's mission and studies.
Agenda: The DIB's open portion of the meeting will take place on
January 26, 2024 from 10:00 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. The DFO, Dr. Marina
Theodotou, will open the meeting and introduce the DIB Chair, Michael
Bloomberg for his welcome and opening remarks. The DIB will present its
findings and recommendations for deliberation and vote on two current
studies: ``Lowering Barriers to Innovation'' and ``Building a DoD Data
Economy''. Subsequently, the DFO will read public comments into the
meeting record, and then, the Chair will then preview new study topics
followed by closing remarks. The DFO will then adjourn the open
session.
The DIB's closed portion of the meeting will take place January 26,
2024, from 1:00 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. During this time, the DIB will meet
with senior Department leaders and other Subject Matter Experts from
Industry and Academia to receive insights to receive related to
leveraging capabilities to remain at the forefront of innovation,
innovative technology adoption, and other strategic challenges that the
DoD is currently facing related to innovation with allies and partners.
Meeting Accessibility: In accordance with section 1009(d) of the
FACA and 41 CFR 102-3.155, the DoD has determined that part of the DIB
meeting will be closed to the public on January 26, 2024, 1:00 p.m. to
4:30 p.m. Specifically, the USD(R&E), as the DIB Sponsor, in
consultation with the DoD Office of General Counsel, has determined in
writing that this portion of the meeting will be closed to the public
because the DIB will consider matters covered by 5 U.S.C. 552b(c)(1).
The determination is based on the classified nature of discussions
related to national security. Such classified material is so
intertwined with the unclassified material that it cannot reasonably be
segregated into separate discussions without defeating the
effectiveness and meaning of the overall meeting.
Pursuant to Federal statutes and regulations (the FACA and 41 CFR
102-3.140 and 102-3.150), the open portion of the meeting will be
accessible to the public virtually on January 26, 2024, from 10:00 a.m.
to 11:30 a.m. Members of the public wishing to attend the meeting
virtually will be able to access a link published on the DIB website
the morning of the meeting.
Written Statements: Pursuant to 41 CFR 102-3.105(j) and 102-3.140
and section 1009(a)(3) of the FACA, the public or interested
organizations may submit written comments or statements to the DIB in
response to the stated agenda of the meeting or regarding the DIB's
mission in general. Written comments or statements should be submitted
to Dr. Marina Theodotou, the DFO, via email to <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#d4bba7b0fabdbababba2b5a0bdbbba94b9b5bdb8fab9bdb8"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="81eef2e5afe8efefeef7e0f5e8eeefc1ece0e8edafece8ed">[email protected]</span></a>.
Comments or statements must include the author's name, title or
affiliation, address, and daytime phone number. The DFO must receive
written comments or statements being submitted in response to the
agenda set forth in this notice by 12:00 p.m. on January 23, 2024, to
be considered by the DIB. The DFO will review all timely submitted
written comments or statements with the DIB Chair and ensure the
comments are provided to all members before the meeting. Written
comments or statements received after this date may not be provided to
the DIB until its next scheduled meeting. Please note that all
submitted comments and statements will be treated as public documents
and will be made available for public inspection, including, but not
limited to, being posted on the DIB's website.
