classified briefings and hold classified discussions on the Department 
of Defense actions with regard to the war in Ukraine. The board will be

    Meeting Accessibility: In accordance with section 10(d) of the FACA 
and 41 CFR 102-3.155, the DoD has determined that this meeting shall be 
closed to the public. The Under Secretary of Defense (Policy), in 
consultation with the DoD FACA Attorney, has determined in writing that 
this meeting be closed to the public because the discussions fall under 
the purview of Section 552b(c)(1) of the Sunshine Act and are so 
inextricably intertwined with unclassified material that they cannot 
reasonably be segregated into separate discussions without disclosing 
classified material.
    Written Statements: In accordance with Section 10(a)(3) of the FACA 
and 41 CFR 102-3.105(j) and 102-3.140(c), the public or interested

notice or can be obtained from the GSA's FACA Database--http://www.facadatabase.gov/. Written statements that do not pertain to a 
scheduled meeting of the DPB may be submitted at any time. However, if 
individual comments pertain to a specific topic being discussed at a 
planned meeting, then these statements must be submitted no later than 
five business days prior to the meeting in question. The DFO will 
review all submitted written statements and provide copies to all 
members.
