 The  mission  of  the  Federal  Advisory  Committee  on  Diversity  in  the  Digital  Age  is  to  provide  guidance  to  the  Commission  on  policies  and  practices  that  could  increase  the  diversity  of 
 ownership  and  could  create  opportunities  for  minorities  and  women  to  advance  to  managerial  positions  in  the  communications  sector  as  well  as  other  related  sectors  of  the  economy. 
 Specifically,  the  Committee  will  make  reports  and  recommendations  concerning  the  need  for  any  guidelines,  incentives,  regulations  or  other  policy  approaches  to  promote  diversity  of 
 participation  in  the  communications  sector.  The  Committee  will  also  develop  a  description  of  best  practices  within  the  communications  sector  for  promoting  diversity  of  participation. 


 The  next  full  committee  meeting  is  scheduled  for  January  26,  2004.
