    The Department of State's Advisory Committee on International 
Communications and Information Policy (ACICIP) will hold a public

Henderson Auditorium of the Harry S. Truman Building of the U.S. 
Department of State. The Truman Building is located at 2201 C Street, 
NW., Washington, DC 20520.
    The committee provides a formal channel for regular consultation 
and coordination on major economic, social and legal issues and 
problems in international communications and information policy, 
especially as these issues and problems involve users of information 
and communications services, providers of such services, technology 
research and development, foreign industrial and regulatory policy, the 
activities of international organizations with regard to communications 
and information, and developing country issues.
    The meeting will be led by ACICIP Chair Mr. Richard E. Wiley of 
Wiley Rein LLP. and Ambassador David A. Gross, Deputy Assistant 
Secretary and U.S. Coordinator for International Communications and 
Information Policy.
    The meeting's agenda will include discussions pertaining to various 
upcoming international telecommunications meetings and conferences, 
including a conference that will be led by the President's Digital 
Freedom Initiative (a public-private partnership) that is expected to 
be held in May 2008 and will focus on promoting broadband access in 
West Africa. Additionally, there will be reports and discussion 
concerning recent bilateral meetings between the U.S. and the European 
Union as well as between the U.S. and India. There will also be 
discussion about the Internet Governance Forum (IGF) that took place in 
Brazil this past November, and the upcoming IGF that will take place in 
India in December 2008. Lastly, there will be discussion about 
additional upcoming major events and issues for 2008, including the
