U.S. Commerce Deputy Secretary Bruce Andrews today announced the Department is seeking candidates to serve on a new Digital Economy Board of Advisors, which Commerce is establishing to give government a mechanism to obtain advice from leaders in industry and civil society. The board will provide recommendations on ways to ensure that the Internet continues to thrive as an engine of growth, innovation, and free expression.

"Promoting the digital economy is a top priority for the Department of Commerce," Deputy Secretary Andrews said. "We highly value the input of the private sector as we develop policies to promote digital innovation and remove barriers to global competitiveness. Our new Digital Economy Board of Advisors will provide the Department with an important tool to discuss with and learn from these leaders about ways to promote this vital sector of our economy."
