The Chairman may issue invitations to various Government organizations to request Government attendance at the CBDAIF, consistent with the DoD Joint Ethics Regulation

CBDAIF Compliance • What CBDAIF is NOT: • Business Development Discussion Forum • ABPIs, Website and other venues are appropriate • Venue for Specific contract out-brief sessions for industry – governed by FAR • CBDIAF must follow tenants of Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA) and DoD Ethics Regulations • CBDAIF not an official group under FACA • DoD applying strict compliance with FACA for groups that are not officially sponsored by the government • No consensus advice or recommendations resulting from group deliberation or interaction is expected. The intent is to share an open exchange of information or viewpoints between attendees rather than to formulate collaborative advice, opinions or recommendations from the CBDAIF acting in a collective mode
