Defense Innovation Board is unable to provide public notification, as 
required by 41 CFR 102-3.150(a), for its meeting on Tuesday, April 4, 
2017. Accordingly, the Advisory Committee Management Officer for the 
Department of Defense, pursuant to 41 CFR 102-3.150(b), waives the 15-
calendar day notification requirement.
    This meeting is being held under the provisions of the Federal 
Advisory Committee Act (FACA) of 1972 (5 U.S.C., Appendix, as amended), 
the Government in the Sunshine Act of 1976 (5 U.S.C. 552b, as amended), 
and 41 CFR 102-3.140 and 102-3.150.
    Purpose of the Meeting: The mission of the Defense Innovation Board 
(DIB) is to examine and provide the Secretary of Defense and the Deputy 
Secretary of Defense independent advice and recommendations on 
innovative means to address future challenges in terms of integrated 
change to organizational structure and processes, business and 
functional concepts, and technology applications. The DIB focuses on 
(a) technology and capabilities, (b) practices and operations, and (c) 
people and culture.
    Agenda: During the open portion of the meeting, the DIB will 
receive an update from the Science and Technology Subcommittee, and 
deliberate and propose observations on the DIB's Interim Recommendation 
12: Establish a global and secure repository for data collection, 
sharing, and analysis. These findings will be based upon discussions 
and observations of the DIB. The DIB will invite selected experts to 
provide analysis and inputs related to Recommendation 12 during the 
meeting. Potential experts include representatives from the Joint Staff 
Director for Logistics (J4); the Business Transformation Office--Army; 
the Cost Assessment and Program Evaluation office; the Defense Digital 
Service; the office of the Director for Global Operations (J3); the 
office of the Director of Future Operations (US Air Force/A3); and the 
office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence (Warfighter 
Support). Members of the public will have the opportunity to provide 
input on the DIB's interim recommendation to establish a global and 
secure repository for data collection, sharing, and analysis (limited 
availability). See below for additional information on how to sign up. 
The DIB will be briefed on DoD's implementation activities related to 
DIB recommendations. During the closed portion of the meeting, the DIB 
will have detailed and classified discussions of their observations and 
recommendations with DoD senior leaders to include the Secretary of 
Defense and/or the Deputy Secretary of Defense. They will also receive 
classified informational briefings related to ``data'' and/or machine 
learning from representatives from the Joint Staff, the Under Secretary 
of Defense for Intelligence, and the U.S. Air Force/A3.
    Meeting Accessibility: Pursuant to Federal statutes and regulations 
(FACA, the Government in the Sunshine Act, 5 U.S.C. 552b, and 41 CFR 
102-3.140 through 102-3.165) and the availability of space, the meeting 
is open to the public from 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. Seating is on a 
first-come basis. Members of the public wishing to attend the meeting 
should contact the Executive Director to register and make arrangements 
for a Pentagon escort, if necessary, no later than five business days 
prior to the meeting, at the address noted in the FOR FURTHER 
INFORMATION CONTACT section.
    Special Accommodations: Individuals requiring special 
accommodations to access the public meeting should contact the 
Executive Director at least five business days prior to the meeting so 
that appropriate arrangements can be made. Pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 
552b(c)(1), the DoD has determined that the portion of the meeting from 
11:45 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. shall be closed to the public. The Acting 
Deputy Chief Management Officer, in consultation with the Office of the 
DoD General Counsel, has determined in writing that this portion of the 
committee's meeting will be closed as the discussions will involve 
classified matters of national security. Such classified material is so 
inextricably intertwined with the unclassified material that it cannot 
reasonably be segregated into separate discussions without disclosing 
matters that are classified SECRET or higher.
    Written Statements: Pursuant to section 10(a)(3) of the FACA and 41 
CFR 102-3.140, the public or interested organizations may submit 
written comments to the DIB about its approved agenda pertaining to 
this meeting or at any time regarding the DIB's mission. Individuals 
submitting a written statement must submit their statement to the 
Executive Director at [email protected]. Written comments that do 
not pertain to a scheduled meeting may be submitted at any time. 
However, if individual comments pertain to a specific topic being 
discussed at the planned meeting, then such comments must be received 
in writing not later than March 30, 2017. The Executive Director will 
compile all written submissions received by the deadline and provide 
them to Board Members prior to the meeting. Comments received after 
this date may not be provided to or considered by the DIB until a later 
date.
    Oral Section: Individuals wishing to make an oral statement to the 
DIB at the public meeting may be permitted to speak for up to three 
minutes. Anyone wishing to speak to the DIB should

submit a request by email at [email protected] not later than 
March 30, 2017 for planning. Requests for oral comments should include 
a copy or summary of planned remarks for archival purposes. Individuals

meeting; however, depending on the number of individuals requesting to 
speak, the schedule may limit participation.
