U.S. Air Force Academy Board of Visitors Notice of Meeting

AGENCY: U.S. Air Force Academy Board of Visitors, DoD.

ACTION: Meeting notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: Pursuant to Section 9355, Title 10, United States Code 
(U.S.C.), the United States Air Force Academy (USAFA) Board of Visitors 
(BoV) will meet in Harmon Hall, 2304 Cadet Drive, Suite 3300, at USAFA 
in Colorado Springs, CO, on 4-5 February 2011. The meeting will begin 
on Friday, 4 February at 1330 p.m. and continue the next day, 5 
February at 0710 a.m. The purpose of this meeting is to review morale 
and discipline, social climate, curriculum, instruction, 
infrastructure, fiscal affairs, academic methods, and other matters 
relating to the Academy. Specific topics for this meeting include 
updates on select USAFA metrics; an overview of the bi-annual Sexual 
Assault and Gender Relations Report; an overview of the USAFA diversity 
strategic plan; an overview of Don't Ask Don't Tell--the Way Ahead; and 
an overview of the Association of Graduates and University Endowment.
    Pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552b, as amended, and 41 CFR 102-3.155, the 
Administrative Assistant to the Secretary of the Air Force has 
determined that a portion of this meeting shall be closed to the 
public. The Administrative Assistant to the Secretary of the Air Force, 
in consultation with the Office of the Air Force General Counsel, has 
determined in writing that the public interest requires two portions of 
this meeting be closed to the public because it will involve matters 
covered by subsection (c)(6) of 5 U.S.C. 552b. The Character update/
Status of discipline will discuss protected information on individual 
cases. Likewise, the focus groups will require cadets to share personal 
information, opinions and experiences concerning their superiors, 
peers, and the Academy. Closure of these portions of the meeting is 
appropriate under 5 U.S.C. 552b(c)(6) to protect the privacy of low 
level ``employees.''
    Public attendance at the open portions of this USAFA BoV meeting 
shall be accommodated on a first-come, first-served basis up to the 
reasonable and safe capacity of the meeting room. In addition, any 
member of the public wishing to provide input to the USAFA BoV should 
submit a written statement in accordance with 41 CFR 102-3.140(c) and 
section 10(a)(3) of the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA) and the 
procedures described in this paragraph. Written statements must address 
the following details: The issue, discussion, and a recommended course 
of action. Supporting documentation may also be included as needed to 
establish the appropriate historical context and provide any necessary 
background information. Written statements can be submitted to the 
Designated Federal Officer (DFO) at the Air Force Pentagon address 
detailed below at any time. However, if a written statement is not 
received at least 10 days before the first day of the meeting which is 
the subject of this notice, then it may not be provided to, or 
considered by, the BoV until its next open meeting. The DFO will review 
all timely submissions with the BoV Chairperson and ensure they are 
provided to members of the BoV before the meeting that is the subject 
of this notice. For the benefit of the public, rosters that list the 
names of BoV members and any releasable materials presented during open 
portions of this BoV meeting shall be made available upon request.
    If, after review of timely submitted written comments, the BoV 
Chairperson and DFO deem appropriate, they may choose to invite the 
submitter of the written comments to orally present their issue during 
an open portion of the BoV meeting that is the subject of this notice. 
Members of the BoV may also petition the Chairperson to allow specific 
persons to make oral presentations

the BoV shall be in accordance with agency guidelines provided pursuant 
to a written invitation and this paragraph. Direct questioning of BoV 
members or meeting participants by the public is not permitted except
