Who can be NSTAC members?
Executive Order 12382 provides for no more than 30 NSTAC members who “shall have particular knowledge and expertise in the field of telecommunications and represent elements of the Nation’s telecommunications industry.” In addition to the criteria set out in the Executive Order, the FACA requires “balanced” membership. As applied to NSTAC that means not all 30 members should come from the same segment of the telecommunications industry or be from large companies. Only the President may appoint or terminate a member. Any member may resign. .
