Members of the 9-1-1 community are invited to submit nominations to fill a currently-vacant seat on the NG9-1-1 Interoperability Oversight Commission (Commission), also known as the NIOC. This body provides independent oversight of the PSAP Credentialing Agency (PCA) and the Forest Guide, two functional elements required to be operated centrally for NG9-1-1 to work according to prevailing standards. These requirements come from specifications developed under NENA’s standards NENA Development Group (NDG) and the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF). The Commission seeks a member representing elected officials that are not directly part of a public safety agency, that has oversight of 9-1-1 services. For example, a county commissioner or member of a state legislature would be eligible for this seat.
