SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The ASB is being renewed in accordance with

the Army, independent advice and recommendations related to the 
Department of the Army's scientific, technical, manufacturing, 
acquisition, logistics, and business management functions. The ASB 
shall be composed of no more than 20 members who are eminent 
authorities in one or more of the following disciplines and fields: 
science; technology; manufacturing; acquisition; logistics; business 
management functions natural (e.g., biology, ecology), social (e.g., 
anthropology, community planning), and related sciences; and other 
matters of special interest to the DoD Appointing Authority or the 
Secretary of the Army.
    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 ASB. No 
member, unless approved according to DoD policy and procedures, may

government employee members.
    All ASB 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 ASB-related travel and per diem, members serve without 
compensation.
    The public or interested organizations may submit written 
statements about the ASB's mission and functions. Written statements 
may be submitted at any time or in response to the stated agenda of 
planned meeting of the ASB. All written statements shall be submitted
