Internal Revenue Service Advisory Council (IRSAC)

    The IRSAC provides an organized public forum for discussion of 
relevant tax administration issues between IRS officials and 
representatives of the public. Through the years, IRSAC has focused on 
broad tax administration policy matters. Various groups have suggested 
operational improvements, offered constructive observations about IRS' 
current or proposed policies, programs, and procedures, and advised the 
Commissioner of Internal Revenue on particular issues having 
substantive effect on Federal Tax Administration. It is important that 
IRSAC membership continue to represent the range and make-up of broad 
and diverse taxpayer and key stakeholder base.

Criteria for Members

    Applicants shall be well-rounded, with excellent communication 
skills, bring years of practical experience and knowledge to the group, 
and able to interact well in a diversified environment. Applicant's 
background should include several of the following experiences: 
developing and implementing customer service initiatives and tools, 
systems management and improvement, and change management; small 
business owners and entrepreneurs; those who have established 
successful strategic partnerships; as well as those who have the 
ability to examine situations and issues from a ``macro'' viewpoint.

Nomination Procedures

    Interested persons may nominate themselves and/or one or more 
qualified persons for membership on the IRSAC. Application packages are 
available on the IRS' Internet Site, on the Tax Professionals Corner--
