The Designated Federal Officer shall be a full-time or permanent part-time DoD employee, and shall be appointed in accordance with established DoD policies and procedures. The Designated Federal Officer or Alternate Designated Federal Officer shall attend all Board of Regents' meetings and subcommittee meetings.

Board of Regents subcommittees and workgroups shall not work independently of the Board of Regents and shall report all their recommendations and advice to the Board of Regents for full deliberation and discussion.
