I. Background and Authority

    The Council is governed by the Federal Advisory Committee Act (5 
U.S.C. Appendix 2), which sets forth standards for the formation and 
use of advisory committees. The White House Council for Community 
Solutions shall advise the President on how to engage individuals, 
academia, non-profits, philanthropy and business to support innovative 
community solutions that are having a real impact in solving our 
Nation's pressing social issues relating to education, youth 
development, and employment. This new Presidential Council enlists 
leaders from a variety of sectors--businesses, non-profit and 
philanthropic organizations, universities, and community groups--to 
encourage the growth and maximize the impact of innovative, community-
developed solutions.

II. Structure

    The Council shall consist of not more than 30 members, including 
its Chair. All Council members shall be appointed by the President. 
Members shall not be Federal Government employees. In selecting 
individuals for appointment to the Council, appropriate consideration 
will be given to selecting leaders from a variety of sectors. The 
composition of the Council will reflect a diverse set of perspectives 
from across the country. Each member of the Council will be appointed 
to serve a term of two years. The members of the Council will be 
Special Government Employees (SGEs).
    Meetings shall be held approximately 4 times a year and will be 
coordinated by the Designated Federal Officer or designee who shall 
approve the agenda and shall be present at all meetings. A vacancy on 
the Council shall be filled in the manner in which the original 
appointment was made and shall be subjected to any conditions that 
applied with respect to the original appointment. An individual chosen 
to fill a vacancy shall be appointed for the remainder of the term of 
the member replaced. The vacancy shall not affect the power of the 
remaining members to execute the duties of the Council.
    All members of the White House Council for Community Solutions 
shall adhere to the conflict of interest rules applicable to Special 
Government Employees as such employees are defined in 18 U.S.C. 202(a).
