    The DBB provides the Secretary of Defense and Deputy Secretary of 
Defense with independent advice and actionable recommendations to 
address critical matters and challenges to accelerate adoption of 
effective and efficient business processes and functions, 
organizational management constructs, and business and organizational 
cultural changes within the DoD in response to specific tasking from 
the Secretary of Defense or the Deputy Secretary of Defense (``the DoD 
Appointing Authority''). The DBB examines and advises on DoD executive 
management, innovative business processes, and governance from private, 
public, and academic sector perspectives. The DBB is composed of no 
more than 20 members who meet one of more of the following criteria: 
(a) Proven track record of sound judgement in leading or governing 
large, complex public or private-sector organizations, including 
academia; (b) significant management-level (executive level managers 
that are titled ``chief'' followed by their function) global business 
or academic experience including, but not limited to the areas of 
executive management, corporate strategy, governance, business process 
improvement and innovation, global business services/shared services, 
audit and finance, supply chain and logistics, human resources/talent 
management, data/analytics management and use, real property 
management, organizational design and optimization, energy and climate, 
or technology; (c) demonstrated performance in developing new business 
theories, innovation, and concepts; (d) career as a distinguished 
academic or researcher in business at an accredited college or 
institute of higher education; or (e) a proven track record as an 
innovative leader in small and minority owned businesses.
    Individual members are appointed according to DoD policy and 
procedures, and serve a term of service of one-to-four years with 
annual renewals. One member will be appointed as Chair of the DBB. No 
member, unless approved according to DoD policy and procedures, may 
serve more than two consecutive terms of service on the DBB, or serve 
on more than two DoD Federal advisory committees at one time.
    DBB members who are not full-time or permanent part-time Federal 
civilian officers or employees, or active duty members of the Uniformed 
Services, are appointed as experts or consultants, pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 
3109, to serve as special government employee members. DBB members who 
are full-time or permanent part-time Federal civilian officers or 
employees, or active duty members of the Uniformed Services are 
appointed pursuant to 41 CFR 102-3.130(a), to serve as regular 
government employee members.
    All DBB members are appointed to provide advice based on 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 DBB-related travel and per diem, members serve without 
compensation.
    The public or interested organizations may submit written 
statements about the DBB's mission and functions. Written statements 
may be submitted at any time or in response to the stated agenda of 
planned meeting of the DBB. All written statements shall be submitted 
to the DFO for the DBB, and this individual will ensure that the 
written statements are provided to the membership for their 
consideration.
