Renewal of Advisory Committee

    The Department of State has renewed the Charter of the Advisory 
Committee on International Communications and Information Policy. This 
advisory 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 communication 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 interests.
    The duties of the Advisory Committee shall include performance of 
the following functions:
    (a) To provide information and advice on both public and private 
aspects of current foreign affairs issues in these areas;
    (b) To provide advice in the formulation of United States 
communications and information policy, positions and proposals for 
multilateral and bilateral consultations, and negotiations on 
communications and information policy issues; and
    (c) In furtherance of the objectives noted in paragraphs (a) and 
(b), through subcommittees and working groups, to provide information 
and advice, and to carry out special studies and research in particular 
areas of information and communications policy as may be deemed 
advisable.
    The objective of the Committee is to bring to the Department a 
source of expertise, knowledge and insight, not available within the 
Department or elsewhere in the Government, on these issues and 
problems.
