and the Designated Federal Officer, the
Defense Business Board was unable to
provide public notification required by
41 CFR 102–3.150(a) concerning its
August 2–3, 2023 meeting. Accordingly,
the Advisory Committee Management
Officer for the Department of Defense,
pursuant to 41 CFR 102–3.150(b),
waives the 15-calendar day notification
requirement.
Purpose of the Meeting: The mission
of the Board is to examine and advise
the Secretary of Defense on overall DoD
management and governance. The Board
provides independent, strategic-level,
private sector and academic advice and
counsel on enterprise-wide business
management approaches and best
practices for business operations and
achieving National Defense goals.
Agenda: The Board will hold a closed
meeting on August 2 and August 3. The
DFO will open the closed meeting
followed by a welcome by Board Chair,
Hon. Deborah James. The Board will
receive classified discussions on Space
Force Modernization and Joint Force
Integration from General David D.
Thompson, Vice Chief of Space
Operations; Assessing Innovation
Through the NDAA from Hon. Kathleen
Hicks, Deputy Secretary of Defense; DoD
Current Affairs from Hon. Lloyd Austin,
Secretary of Defense; and Artificial
Intelligence/Machine Learning
Scaffolding from Mr. Joe Larson, Deputy
Director of the Chief Digital and
Artificial Intelligence Office for
Algorithmic Warfare. After a break, the
board will receive a classified update on
the Globally Integrated Wargame and
Recommendations from Lt Gen Dagvin
R.M. Anderson (USAF), Director for
Joint Force Development; a classified
discussion on Joint Force Capabilities
Integration from ADM Michael Gilday,
Chief of Naval Operations; and the State
of the National Guard from GEN Daniel
R. Hokanson, Chief of the National
Guard Bureau. The Board will take a
short break, then receive remarks by
Board Chair, Hon Deborah James and
Deputy Secretary, Hon. Kathleen Hicks.
Next, the board will hear a classified
update on the DBB Improving IT User
Experience Study from Hon. John
Sherman, Department of Defense Chief
Information Officer. The DFO will
adjourn the closed meeting. The Board
will begin in closed meeting on August
3 at The White House. The DFO will
open the closed meeting followed by the

The DFO will then adjourn the closed
meeting.
The latest version of the agenda will
be available on the Board’s website at:
https://dbb.dod.afpims.mil/Meetings/
Meeting-Aug-2023/.
Meeting Accessibility: In accordance
with 5 U.S.C. 1009(d) and 41 CFR 102–
3.155, it is hereby determined that the
August 2–3 meeting of the Board will
include classified information and other
matters covered by 5 U.S.C. 552b(c)(1)
and that, accordingly, the meeting will
be closed to the public. This
determination is based on the
consideration that it is expected that
discussions throughout these periods
will involve classified matters of
national security. Such classified
material is so intertwined with the
unclassified material that it cannot
reasonably be segregated into separate
discussions without defeating the
effectiveness and meaning of these
portions of the meeting. To permit these
portions of the meeting to be open to the
public would preclude discussion of
such matters and would greatly
diminish the ultimate utility of the
Board’s findings and recommendations
to the Secretary of Defense and to the
Deputy Secretary of Defense.
Written Comments and Statements:
Pursuant to 41 CFR 102–3.105(j) and
102–3.140 and 5 U.S.C. 1009(a)(3) of the
FACA, the public or interested
organizations may submit written
comments or statements to the Board in
response to the stated agenda of the
meeting or regarding the Board’s
mission in general. Written comments
or statements should be submitted to
Ms. Jennifer Hill, the DFO, via
electronic mail (the preferred mode of
submission) at the address listed in the
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT

section. Each page of the comment or
statement must include the author’s
name, title or affiliation, address, and
daytime phone number. The DFO must
receive written comments or statements
submitted in response to the agenda set
forth in this notice by Monday, July 31,
2023, to be considered by the Board.
The DFO will review all timely
submitted written comments or
statements with the Board Chair and
ensure the comments are provided to all
members of the Board before the
meeting. Written comments or
statements received after this date may
not be provided to the Board until its
next scheduled meeting. Please note
that all submitted comments and
statements will be treated as public
documents and will be made available
for public inspection, including, but not
limited to, being posted on the Board’s
website.
