The U.S. Department of Commerce is seeking qualified people for a new Internet of Things Advisory Board that will be responsible for advising the Internet of Things Federal Working Group.
“The Internet of Things is already transforming our world, providing detailed information that can improve air quality, traffic congestion, medical care and more,” said Secretary of Commerce Gina M. Raimondo in a Jan. 13 press release.
The advisory board will include a wide range of stakeholders who are also Internet of Things experts outside of the federal government.
"We would like this board to represent a broad spectrum of IoT experts from industry, academia and nonprofit organizations who can provide advice on IoT ranging from rural concerns to transportation, security and health care topics,” said Raimondo.
The Internet of Things Advisory Board was established by the Secretary of Commerce in accordance with the William M. (Mac) Thornberry National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2021 requirements and the Federal Advisory Committee Act.
The board will advise the federal working group on matters including the identification of any federal regulations, programs, or policies that may inhibit or promote the development of IoT.
Nominations are due by Feb. 28, and board members will serve two-year terms.
