How frequent & relevant are cmte mtgs?*	The Council is authorized to facilitate its work through informal subcommittees that may meet more frequently. Activities and recommendations of the informal subcommittees must be reported to the Council as a whole, which meets on a quarterly basis. These reports, as modified or ratified by the Council as a whole, will be included in the official record of the Council proceedings and reported to the Chairperson of the Commission.
Why advice can't be obtained elsewhere?*	The Council is intended to provide the Commission with advise on the reliability and security of communications networks, including as it relates to telecommunications, media, and public safety communications.

Why close or partially close meetings?	Meetings will typically be open.
