| 20a. How does the Committee accomplish its purpose? |
| The Committee will provide advice and recommendations to the Assistant Secretary for Communications and Information on a broad range of issues regarding spectrum policy and on needed reforms to domestic spectrum policies and management to enable timely implementation of evolving spectrum-dependent technologies and services to benefit the public. |
| 20b. How does the Committee balance its membership? |
| The Committee will be fairly balanced in terms of the points of view represented by stakeholders and the functions to be performed. It will reflect a balanced cross-section of stakeholder interests in spectrum management and policy reform, including non-federal government users, state, regional, and local sectors, technology developers, and manufacturers, academia, consumer groups, and service providers with customers in both domestic and international markets. |
| 20c. How frequent and relevant are the Committee meetings? |
| Two meetings per year (expected) |

| On November 29, 2004, the President issued a Memorandum for the Heads of Executive Departments and Agencies on the subject of "Spectrum Management for the 21st Century." In general, this Executive Memorandum directed the heads of the executive departments and agencies to implement the recommendations contained in Secretary Evans' June 2004 reports to the President identifying improvements in U.S. spectrum management. The first recommendation in Report 2 called for the establishment of this federal advisory committee. |
