    The U.S. Advisory Commission on Public Diplomacy (ACPD) will hold a 
virtual public meeting from 12:00 p.m. until 1:30 p.m., Tuesday, June 
23, 2020. The focus of the meeting will be Data Driven Public Diplomacy 
Six Years Later, based on a review of the 2014 report, ``Data-driven 
Public Diplomacy: Progress Towards Measuring the Impact of Public 
Diplomacy and International Broadcasting Activities'' (https://www.state.gov/data-driven-public-diplomacy-progress-towards-measuring-the-impact-of-public-diplomacy-and-international-broadcasting-activities/). The meeting will feature a panel of public diplomacy 
experts from the Department of State and the U.S. Agency for Global 
Media who will provide updates on the practice of using data to 
formulate public diplomacy programming.
    This meeting is open to the public, including the media and members 
and staff of governmental and non-governmental organizations. To obtain 
the web conference link and password, please email ACPD Program 
Assistant Kristy Zamary at [email protected]. Attendees should plan to 
enter the web conference waiting room by 11:50 a.m. to allow for a 
prompt start.
    Since 1948, the ACPD has been charged with appraising activities 
intended to understand, inform, and influence foreign publics and to 
increase the understanding of, and support for, these same activities. 
The ACPD conducts research that provides honest assessments of public 
diplomacy efforts, and disseminates findings through white papers, 
reports, and other publications. It also holds public symposiums that 
generate informed discussions on public diplomacy issues and events. 
The Commission reports to the President, Secretary of State, and 
Congress. Currently, the Office of the Under Secretary of State for 
Public Diplomacy and Public Affairs supports it.
