- More non-federal input into the plan
- Meeting topics / time allocation
- Use of subcommittees and frequency/regularity of meetings
Next Steps to be Considered by FACA
- Subcommittees review goals and strategies and determine if the goals need to be updated and consider if the right questions are being asked
- Consider audiences for plan. Revisit structure of Annual Update to the Plan to more clearly articulate goals and measurable progress on goals
- List strategies separately?
