Justice Management Division/Information Resources Management/
Telecommunications Services Staff; Notice of Establishment of the 
Global Criminal Justice Information Network Advisory Committee

SUMMARY: In accordance with the provisions of the Federal Advisory 
Committee Act, 5 U.S.C. app. 2 (1972), and 41 CFR101-6.1001-6,1035 
(1992), the Deputy Assistant Attorney General for Information Resources 
Management, with the concurrence of the U.S. Attorney General, is 
establishing the Global Criminal Justice Information Network Advisory 
Committee to define the core requirements of the Global Criminal 
Justice Information Network, be the advocate to the Attorney General 
and to Congress, and set guiding principles to implement the Global 
Criminal Justice Information Network capabilities.
    The Government Advisory Group is authorized by Initiative A07, 
``Address the Information Technology Needs of Our Nation's Criminal 
Justice Community,'' from Vice President Gore's National Performance 
Report entitled ``Across America.'' The specific actions of A07 state 
that the Government Advisory Group will ``define the core requirements 
of a Global Criminal Justice Information Network. Core requirements 
should include security and privacy protections * * * this group should 
also identify the challenges, such as funding, standards, and 
leadership, that might delay the network's implementation.''

Membership

    In accordance with the provisions of National Performance Review 
Initiative A07, this Advisory Committee will be composed of 
representatives from federal, state, and local government criminal 
justice community organizations experienced in identifying the criminal 
justice community's requirements for sharing information.
    The Global Criminal Justice Information Network Advisory Committee 
will consist of approximately 25 members appointed by the U.S. Attorney 
General. The Advisory Committee will be advisory only and will report 
to the U.S. Attorney General through the Deputy Assistant Attorney 
General for Information Resources Management.

CONTACT PERSON: R.D. Robertson, Department of Justice, JMD/IRM/TSS, 600
