    The Board provides the Secretary of Defense and the Deputy

change to organizational structure and process, business and functional 
concepts, and technology applications. The Board shall be composed of 
no more than 20 members who must possess some or all of the following: 
(a) Proven track record of sound judgment in leading or governing 
complex, private sector corporations or organizations; (b) demonstrated 
performance in identifying and adopting new technology innovations in 
either the public or private sector; (c) demonstrated performance in 
developing new technology concepts. Members of the Board who are not 
full-time or permanent part-time Federal officers or employees will be 
appointed as experts or consultants pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 3109 to serve 
as special government employee members. Members of the Board who are 
full-time or permanent part-time Federal officers or employees will be 
appointed pursuant to 41 CFR 102-3.130(a) to serve as regular 
government employee members. All members of the Board are appointed to 
provide advice on the basis of their best judgment without representing 
any particular point of view and in a manner that is free from conflict 
of interest. Except for reimbursement of official Committee-related 
travel and per diem, members serve without compensation. The DoD, as 
necessary and consistent with the Board's mission and DoD policies and 
procedures, may establish subcommittees, task forces, or working groups 
to support the Board, and all subcommittees must operate under the 
provisions of FACA and the Government in the Sunshine Act. 
Subcommittees will not work independently of the Board and must report 
all recommendations and advice solely to the Board for full 
deliberation and discussion. Subcommittees, task forces, or working 
groups have no authority to make decisions and recommendations, 
verbally or in writing, on behalf of the Board. No subcommittee or any 
of its members can update or report, verbally or in writing, directly 
to the DoD or any Federal officers or employees. The Board's DFO, 
pursuant to DoD policy, must be a full-time or permanent part-time DoD 
employee, and must be in attendance for the duration of each and every 
Board/subcommittee meeting. The public or interested organizations may 
submit written statements to the Board membership about the Board's 
mission and functions. Such statements may be submitted at any time or 
in response to the stated agenda of planned Board meetings. All written 
statements must be submitted to the Board's DFO who will ensure the 
written statements are provided to the membership for their 
consideration.
