Members of the Board are

The Board

membership selection and appointment process is designed to
afford the Under Secretary the advisory input of the most
capable, diverse, and novel perspectives that the country
has to offer.

The appointment will be for a term of up to

5 years, with the opportunity to be reappointed for one
additional term. Individuals selected for the appointment
will serve as Representatives (i.e., members qualified to
represent the interests of a specific group, industry, or
organization, by virtue of his or her employment,
education, experience, or affiliation with a specific
group, industry, or organization).

The Secretary has

established the Board pursuant to section 871(a) of the
Homeland Security Act of 2002.

In recognition of the

sensitive nature of the subject matter involved, the
Secretary exempted the Board from The Federal Advisory
Committee Act (FACA), 5 U.S.C. ch. 10. The Board will meet
as often as needed to fulfill its mission, but typically
four times each fiscal year, to address its objectives and
duties. Board members may be reimbursed for travel and per
diem incurred in the performance of their duties as members
of the Board. All travel for Board business must be
approved in advance by the Designated Federal Officer.

The

Board will consist of up to 40 members who are appointed by
and serve at the pleasure of the Under Secretary. In order
for the Under Secretary to fully leverage broad-ranging
experience and education, the Board must be diverse with
regard to professional and technical expertise.

DHS is

committed to pursuing opportunities, consistent with
applicable law, to compose a committee that reflects the
diversity of the nation’s people. In this solicitation for
