Task Group on Best Practices for Export Controls

This effort was initiated by the Under Secretary of Defense, Acquisition, Technology, and Logistics USDATL who, after facing increasing criticisms for slow and unnecessary red tape procedures that inhibit critical business opportunities for both the U.S. and its allies, requested help from the Defense Business Board DBB for ideas and recommendations to help improve the processes and practices used by the Department of Defense DoD. In response to the USDATLs request, the Deputy Secretary of Defense tasked the DBB to form a Task Group to review current practices regarding export controls rules and processes and to identify export control best practices by foreign governments and commercial best practices in the United States U.S.. The Task Group was asked to provide the Department with recommendations on lessons learned and best practices from the U.S. commercial sector and foreign governments that could improve DoDs policies and practices.
