SUMMARY: The Electronic Tax Administration Advisory Committee (ETAAC), 
was established to provide continued input into the development and 
implementation of the Internal Revenue Service' (IRS') strategy for 
electronic tax administration. The ETAAC provides an organized public 
forum for discussion of electronic tax administration issues in support 
of the overriding goal that paperless filing should be the preferred 
and most convenient method of filing tax and information returns. ETAAC 
members convey the public's perception of IRS electronic tax 
administration activities, offer constructive observations about 
current or proposed policies, programs, and procedures, and suggest 
improvements. This document seeks nominations of individuals to be 
considered for selection as Committee members.
    The Director Electronic Tax Administration will assure that the 
size and organizational representation of the ETAAC obtains balanced 
membership and includes representatives from various groups including:

(5) employers and payroll service providers, (6) individual taxpayers, 
(7) financial industry (payers, payment options and best practices), 
(8) system integrators (technology providers), (9) academic (marketing, 
sales or technical perspectives), (10) trusts and estates, (11) tax 
exempt organizations, and (12) state and local governments. We are 
soliciting nominations from professional and public interest groups, 
IRS officials, the Department of the Treasury, and Congress. Members 
will be limited to serving one two-year term on the ETAAC to ensure 
that new perspectives and ideas are generated by the members. All
