SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Notice of this meeting is given under the Federal Advisory Committee Act, 5 U.S.C. appendix (Pub. L. 92-463). The NSTAC advises the President on matters related to national security and emergency preparedness (NS/EP) telecommunications and cybersecurity policy.
Agenda: The NSTAC will hold a conference call on July 14, 2017, to discuss issues and challenges related to NS/EP communications. This will include discussions with senior-level Government stakeholders and a review of ongoing NSTAC work, including a deliberation and vote on the Committee's NSTAC Report to the President on Emerging Technologies Strategic Vision which addresses the near- and longer-term NS/EP implications of emergent and expected information and communications technologies. The NSTAC will also discuss the most recent tasking that was assigned to the committee at its meeting on May 18, 2017. The National Security Council, on behalf of the President, tasked the NSTAC to study ways in which the private sector and Government, together, can improve the resilience of the Internet and communications ecosystem. This includes identifying ways to encourage collaboration across the ecosystem to reduce the threats perpetuated by automated and distributed attacks ( e.g., botnets). The desired outcome of the NSTAC's study will be twofold: (1) Industry and Government will have recommendations for strengthening their partnership; and (2) concrete pathways for reducing threats from automated and distributed attacks will be identified.
Dated: June 21, 2017.
Helen Jackson,
Designated Federal Officer for the NSTAC.
