[Public Notice 4873]


Meeting of Advisory Committee on International Communications and 
Information Policy

    The Department of State announces the next meeting of its Advisory 
Committee on International Communications and Information Policy 
(ACICIP) to be held on Thursday, December 16, 2004, from 10 a.m. to 
12:30 p.m., in Room 1107 of the Harry S. Truman Building of the U.S. 
Department of State. The Truman Building is located at 2201 C Street, 
NW., Washington, DC 20520.
    The 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 communications 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 issues.
    The meeting will be led by ACICIP Chair Mr. Richard E. Wiley of 
Wiley Rein & Fielding LLP. Ambassador David A. Gross, Deputy Assistant 
Secretary and U.S. Coordinator for International Communications and 
Information Policy, will also address the meeting. The main focus of 
the event will be to solicit members' and others' views on US-EU 
cooperation on telecommunications and information technology issues, 
especially in the context of the Transatlantic Economic Stakeholders 
Dialogue between the U.S. and the EU. State Department and EU officials 
will discuss recent bilateral meetings with European Commission, Dutch 
and UK officials on telecommunications and information technology 
issues. Reports from member-organized subcommittees will be presented. 
Other current issues concerning the ACICIP that may be discussed 
include the October World Telecommunication Standardization Assembly, 
the November meeting of the United Nations Information and 
Communication Technologies Task Force, preparations for Phase II of the 
World Summit on the Information Society, and internet governance.
