[Public Notice 5568]


Advisory Committee on Democracy Promotion (ACDP) Meeting Notice; 
Partially Closed Meeting

    In accordance with section 10(a)(2) of the Federal Advisory 
Committee Act, 5 U.S.C. app 2 section 10(a)(2), the Department of State 
announces the inaugural meeting of the Advisory Committee on Democracy 
Promotion (ACDP) to take place on November 6, 2006, at the Department 
of State, Washington, DC. The meeting will be open to the public from 
10 a.m.--10:45 a.m., during which time Secretary Rice will speak with 
the group and discuss a range of democracy promotion issues. Pursuant 
to section 10 (d) of the Federal Advisory Committee Act, 5 U.S.C. app 2 
section 10 (d) and 5 U.S.C. 552b(c)(6), it has been determined that the 
rest of the Committee meeting will be closed to the public because the 
Committee will be discussing sensitive information about the personal 
situation of human rights dissidents, disclosure of which would likely 
jeopardize the safety and welfare of these individuals and constitute a 
clearly unwarranted invasion of their personal privacy. The purpose of 
the ACDP is to advise the Secretary of State and the Administrator of 
the U.S. Agency for International Development on the consideration of 
issues related to democracy promotion in the formulation and 
implementation of U.S. foreign policy and foreign assistance. The 
agenda for this meeting includes sensitive discussions related to the 
Committee's studies on current U.S. policy and issues regarding 
democracy advancement and promotion at both the bilateral and 
multilateral level, including the conditions facing individual human 
rights dissidents.
    For more information, contact Nicole Bibbins Sedaca, Senior 
Director of Strategic Planning and External Affairs, Bureau of 
Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor, Department of State, Washington, DC

    Dated: October 12, 2006.
Jonathan Farrar,
Acting Assistant Secretary of the Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, 
and Labor, Department of State.
