DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE
On
October 10, 2008, the ‘‘Protecting
Children in the 21st Century Act’’ (the
Act) was enacted.1 Section 214 of the
Act directs NTIA to establish the
OSTWG to be comprised of
‘‘representatives of relevant sectors of
the business community, public interest
groups, and other appropriate groups
and Federal agencies.’’ On November
21, 2008, NTIA published a notice
seeking nominations in accordance with
the Act.2 In that notice, NTIA
announced that the OSTWG would have
up to 30 members. With this notice,
NTIA clarifies that this 30 member limit
applies only to representatives from the
relevant sectors of the business
community, public interest groups and
other appropriate groups as defined by
the Act and the notice.
The Act also requires that NTIA invite
representatives from relevant Federal
Government agencies to serve on the
OSTWG. NTIA is working with these
agencies to identify appropriate
representatives. The Assistant Secretary
for Communications and Information
will determine the number of Federal
Government reprentatives that will
serve on the OSTWG. The number of
Federal Government representatives
will be in addition to the 30 appointed
from the private sector.
This notice does not reopen
nominations for the working group.
Applications for nominations were due
on or before December 12, 2008.
