The Chief Information Officers Council (CIOC) is the principal interagency forum for improving agency practices related to the design, acquisition, development, modernization, use, sharing, and performance of federal information resources. Established by Executive Order 13011 in 1996 and codified in the E-Government Act of 2002 (44 U.S.C. 3603), the Council is comprised of the Chief Information Officers and Deputy CIOs of executive branch agencies, the Federal CIO at OMB (who serves as Chair), the Federal Chief Information Security Officer, and the Administrator for Electronic Government. The CIOC develops recommendations for OMB IT policy, identifies opportunities to improve federal IT performance, coordinates multi-agency IT initiatives such as cybersecurity and cloud adoption, supports federal IT workforce development, and disseminates effective IT management practices across the federal government. The Council publishes guidance, playbooks, and resources through cio.gov and councils.gov.
