Committee Meetings
BTRAC holds three meetings per year, two are in person with a virtual option. One in person only meeting is collocated with the ICI Innovate conference. Regular conference calls between meetings are held.
Membership Information
The Technology Committee is comprised of very senior-level (e.g. CTO, CIO, EVP, SVP) IT and Business Continuity management. This includes persons responsible for business continuity and information security on an enterprise-wide basis. Active participation is strongly preferred. Each member firm may have up to two representatives on the Technology Committee.
Colleague Access
Colleague Access gives committee representatives the ability to designate co-workers (i.e., non‑committee members) to view committee memos and materials online, receive notification of memos addressed to the committee via ICI Digest and participate in committee calls and meetings.
As committees may deal with confidential policy topics involving draft comment letters and conference calls, ICI limits the number of colleagues per firm who can be designated for Colleague Access. Only committee representatives (not alternates or substitutes) can activate Colleague Access, and colleagues must be employed by the committee member’s firm.
Technology Committee representatives may designate a total of four individuals for Colleague Access.
