Commissioner Astrue has set up a Future Systems Advisory Panel for Social Security. Today's Federal Register contains a notice that this body will hold its first meeting on October 23. I cannot seem to find a list of who was appointed to this body. Can anyone help me.

Commissioner Astrue has formed the panel to be a road map for the agency in determining what future systems and technologies it may need to develop in online applications, customer services or any other areas.
o On May 1, 2008, the federal register announced the panel.
o GSA authorized the panel.
o DCBFM developed the charter, budget and timeline and briefed the Chief of Staff.
o The panel will be comprised of 11 members of top “blue ribbon” executives. Nine of the panel members will be outside of the Government, one will represent the Office of Systems, and the other member will represent the Office of Operations. The panel duration will last two years unless it is renewed.
o The recruitment of members come from various industries including Health care, customer service, document management industry, financial industry, academia (business), private industry, beneficiaries (AARP), technology (Google/Microsoft), and Government representatives.
