A call for
applications has been made for a team of advisors to facilitate the goals
and objectives of the African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA) and to maintain
ongoing discussions with African trade and agricultural ministries and private
sector organizations on issues of mutual concern, including regional and international
trade concerns and World Trade Organization issues.
The group is
being convened in order to ensure that U.S. trade policy and trade negotiation
objectives adequately reflect U.S. commercial and economic interests. To this
end, the President is seeking information and advice from representative
elements of the private sector and the non-Federal governmental sector with
respect to:
(A)
Negotiating objectives and bargaining positions before entering into a trade
agreement under Title I of the Trade Act of 1974 and section 2103 of the
Bipartisan Trade Promotion Authority Act of 2002;
(B) The
operation of any trade agreement once entered into, including preparation for
dispute settlement panel proceedings to which the United States is a party; and
(C) Other
matters arising in connection with the development, implementation, and
administration of the trade policy of the United States.
Such
committees shall, insofar as is practicable, be representative of all industry,
labor, agricultural, service, investment, defense, and other interests,
respectively, including small business interests, and shall be organized by the
United States Trade Representative and the Secretaries of Commerce, Defense,
Labor, Agriculture, the Treasury, or other executive departments, as
appropriate.
The members
of such committees shall be appointed by the United States Trade Representative
in consultation with such Secretaries.
Members
serve for a 4 year term without compensation and are responsible for all expenses
incurred to attend the meetings.
There is a
long list of requirements for being considered an eligible nomination so I
recommend you read them here to confirm your ability to be nominated.
