  • Division Representation should balance Content and Infrastructure (technology and applications) responsibilities and experience
  • Representatives named by the Division Assistant Secretary

  • Seats represent all agencies/offices within Division plus topical sites for which Division has lead
  • The ASPA/WCD Director (or designee) chairs the Council
  • The OCIO has a non-voting Representative on the Council
  • Divisions are encouraged but not required to emulate this structure for managing and communicating their internal governance
  • Council may form committees as needed
  • ASPA/WCD staff provides logistical support to the Web Council including maintenance of inter/intranet presence
  • 75% constitutes quorum
  • 75% of quorum must be physically present (except virtual meetings)
