NTIA Extends Deadline for Digital Economy Board of Advisors Nominations
The National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA), located within the U.S. Department of Commerce, announced that their closing deadline to submit nominations for the Digital Economy Board of Advisors has been extended to January 12, 2016. The Department of Commerce’s new Digital Economy Agenda was unveiled in November and focuses on four key objectives: promoting a free and open Internet worldwide; promoting trust online; ensuring access for workers, families, and companies; and, promoting innovation. The board, which will consist of 15-20 members appointed by Secretary of Commerce Penny Pritzker, will serve two-year terms and help to further develop the Digital Economy Agenda.
The Digital Economy Board of Advisors, which Commerce is establishing to help provide the government with feedback from leaders in industry and civil society, will provide recommendations on ways to ensure that the Internet continues to thrive as an engine of growth, innovation, and free expression. Those who are interested in serving on the board can nominate themselves or can be nominated by others.
