Keith’s be aware: It’s June July August 2022. The final time the Nationwide Area Council poked its head out by means of the curtains was December 2021. Six Seven Eight months. Does anybody know what they’re doing?
Should you go to the official Nationwide Area Council Customers’ Advisory Group (NSpC UAG) web page at NASA you’re greeted with banner picture of the Trump Administration’s UAG. Should you go to the membership roster web page it lists the identical Trump UAG membership and was final up to date on 8 June 2020. NASA put a discover out to get new UAG members final 12 months after which needed to prolong that since nobody was repsonding. However 6 months later and we have heard completely nothing concerning the UAG membership, what the UAG will do, when it would meet and so on. The final assembly was 30 July 2020.
And naturally for those who go to the NASA Workplace of Worldwide and Interagency Relations (OIIR) who oversees all of these advisory committee issues at NASA they make no point out of the Nationwide Area Council or the UAG – in any respect.
There’s a Nationwide Area Council web page on the White Home with 3 paragraphs of generic textual content and a hyperlink to at least one doc a few framework issued in December 2021 which is usually buzz phrases and speaking factors – however little else. Chirag Parikh runs the Nationwide Area Council however there isn’t any point out of him on the White Home net web page or find out how to contact him or his workers (he has workers proper?). We solely hear from him as soon as each few months when he goes to some contained in the beltway factor and will get quoted. However aside from a number of routine government orders that any White Home might have issued, there isn’t any coronary heart or soul residing inside no matter it’s that the White Home desires to do in house.
Keep in mind the early days of the Biden Administration when there was point out of the Moon as soon as every week in a presidential speech and all of us received jazzed about Moon rocks on a shelf within the Oval Workplace? Not any extra. I’d ask NASA PAO about this however they’re among the many most clueless with regards to what is definitely happening when it comes to house coverage.
Eight months have handed for the reason that Nationwide Area Council did one of many assembly issues. The UAG continues to be in limbo. If anybody is aware of what’s going on please be happy to publish within the feedback part or tweet a remark.
After 9 Months Biden’s Area Coverage Is Completely TBD, earlier publish (3 Nov 2021)
“After the primary deadline for the Area Council’s Customers Advisory Group (UAG) membership solicitation got here and went (low response charge apparently) they prolonged it one other month. The brand new date was 29 October so, given the glacial tempo that house coverage strikes as of late, it is going to be subsequent 12 months earlier than we discover out who’s on the UAG. And naturally we’ll must see when it meets and whether or not it is going to be yet one more house coverage Potemkin village with no actual obligations. And with regards to OSTP and NSC there’s nothing however crickets there.”
Nationwide Area Council Assembly Replace, earlier publish (1 Dec 2021)

Area Group Biden Wants To Get The Area Council Factor Proper The Very First Time, earlier publish (14 Nov 2021)
“If the worth of house, as put forth by this Administration, will not be immediately apparent – and pre-briefed to cynical media/stake holders upfront – then the entire NSpC effort – and the Biden/Harris Administration’s possibilities of doing one thing helpful in house – will evaporate earlier than they even begin. There are actually no second probabilities to get issues proper in DC any extra.”
