Meeting of Advisory Committee on International Communications and 
Information Policy

    The Department of State's Advisory Committee on International 
Communications and Information Policy (ACICIP) will hold a public 
meeting on January 12, 2012 from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. in the Loy Henderson 
Auditorium 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. Thomas Wheeler of Core 
Capital Partners and Ambassador Philip L. Verveer, U.S. Coordinator for 
International Communications and Information Policy. The meeting's 
agenda will include discussions pertaining to various upcoming 
international telecommunications meetings and conferences, as well as 
bilateral and multilateral meetings that have taken place recently. In 
addition, the Committee will discuss key issues of importance to U.S. 
communications policy interests including privacy, and security and law 
enforcement access issues related to cloud computing, as well as recent 
private sector efforts focused on the ICT aspects of international 
disaster response.

ACICIP. Comments concerning topics to be addressed in the agenda should
