Meeting

    The Department of State announces a meeting of the Secretary of 
State's Advisory Committee on Transformational Diplomacy beginning on 
Wednesday September 6, 2006 and continuing on Thursday, September 7, 
2006, at the U.S. Department of State at 2201 C Street, NW., 
Washington, DC. The Committee is composed of a group of prominent 
Americans from the private sector and academia who provide the 
Department with advice on its worldwide management operations, 
including structuring, leading, and managing large global enterprises, 
communicating governmental missions and policies to relevant publics, 
and better use of information technology.
    The Committee will meet in open session from 5 p.m. to 6:45 p.m. on 
September 6, 2006. The Committee also will meet in open session from 
8:15 a.m. until 12 p.m. on September 7, 2006. The Committee will meet 
in closed session from 12 p.m. to 12:30 p.m. It has been determined 
that this portion of the meeting will be closed to the public pursuant 
to Section 10(d) of the Federal Advisory Committee Act and 5 U.S.C. 
552b[c][1] and 552b[c][4] because it is likely to involve discussion of 
classified information and may involve discussion of confidential 
business information.
    The agenda for the September 6 open session will include an 
overview briefing about the Department of State and its mission. The 
agenda for the September 7 open session will include briefings on 
Public/Private Partnership Models, Workforce and Training, the State 
Department in 2012, Congressional Interaction, the Embassy of the 
Future and discussion on establishing working groups for the Committee. 
The agenda for the September 7 closed session will include matters 
related to the transformational diplomacy initiative.
    Entry to the building is controlled and will be facilitated by 
advance arrangements. Members of the public (including government 
employees and Department of State employees) desiring access to the 
open sessions should, no later than September 1, 2006, notify the 
Advisory Committee on Transformational Diplomacy (phone: 202-647-0093) 
of their name, date of birth; citizenship (country); ID number, i.e., 
U.S. government ID (agency), U.S. military ID (branch), passport 
(country), or drivers license number (state); professional affiliation, 
address, and telephone number.
    Members of the public may file a written statement with the 
committee. All members of the public must use the ``C'' Street 
entrance, after going through the exterior screening facilities. One of 
the following valid IDs will be required for admittance: Any U.S. 
driver's license with photo, a passport, or a U.S. Government agency 
ID. Because an escort is required at all times, attendees should expect 
to remain in the meeting for the entire session.
    The Department of State regrets the delay in publication of this 
Notice. Unforeseen events prevented its earlier publication and the 
meeting date was determined by the rigorous demands of the Secretary of 
State's travel, foreign policy and public affairs schedule.
    For more information, contact Madelyn Marchessault, Designated 
Federal Official of the Advisory Committee on Transformational 
Diplomacy at 202-647-0093 or at [email protected].
