are interested in the Vietnam’s business
climate for U.S. products or services and
how policy issues may have an impact
on trade and investment in this sector.
In 2007, the ITA launched the U.S.Vietnam ICT Commercial Dialogue with
the Ministry of Information and
Communications (MIC) in Vietnam to
discuss various ICT issues that have an
impact on trade between our two
countries. The U.S. and Vietnamese
companies that participated in the
meeting made several recommendations
for future areas of cooperation. To
continue facilitating input from the
private sector, ITA and MIC agreed to
create a Business Advisory Group under
the Dialogue and encourage wide
participation from both countries. The
main objectives of the Business
Advisory Group are to identify areas of
mutual concern to be potentially
addressed by the Working Group of the
U.S.-Vietnam ICT Commercial Dialogue,
and to coordinate activities that could
be considered deliverables for the
Dialogue. Examples of issues that have
been covered so far include
advancement of telecom infrastructure,
protection of intellectual property rights
for software, and supporting electronic
commerce by developing legal
frameworks for data privacy.
DATES: November 12–13, 2008.
ADDRESSES: Inquiries about
participation in the Business Advisory
Group should be addressed to the
contact below, and received by close of
business on Monday, November 10,
2008.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
The
Business Advisory Group is expected to
have participants from U.S. and
Vietnamese companies or associations
and generally be responsible for
developing their own internal
communication and consultation
mechanisms, including informal
meetings. Participation in the Business
Advisory Group should be open to any
ICT companies and industry
associations who wish to contribute to
the Dialogue. However, due to space
constraints, only two representatives per
company and/or organization can attend
the upcoming Business Advisory Group
meeting, which will be hosted at the
Department of Commerce in
Washington on November 12 in

ACTION: Notice of request for public

AGENCY:
SUMMARY: The Department of
Commerce’s International Trade
Administration (ITA) is seeking U.S.
academic institutions, training centers,
and other interested parties who would
like to organize joint activities with
their counterparts in Vietnam in the
field of Information and Communication
Technologies (ICT). In 2007, the ITA
launched the U.S.-Vietnam ICT
Commercial Dialogue with the Ministry
of Information and Communications
(MIC) in Vietnam to discuss various ICT
issues that have an impact on trade
between our two countries. The U.S.
and Vietnamese companies that
participated in the meeting
recommended the establishment of a
‘‘public/private partnership for the
development of human resources
through technical training programs.’’
Therefore MIC has proposed that an
Academic Advisory Group be created in
addition to a Business Advisory Group
under the Dialogue.
The objective of the Academic
Advisory Group would be to facilitate
an exchange of ideas on the best
curriculum to meet the needs of ICT
growth, and to increase opportunities
for Vietnamese citizens to study in the
ICT field in Vietnam through distance
learning mechanisms, or at United
States institutions.
The initial meeting of the Academic
Advisory Group, to be held via
videoconference, is tentatively
scheduled for November 12, 2008. A
representative of the group would make
a brief report at the ICT Dialogue
Working Group meeting on November
13 in Washington, DC. A follow-up
meeting is anticipated in January 2009
in Hanoi.
DATES: November 12–13, 2008.
