Promote a policy environment that preserves technology neutrality in government procurement and related policies. Educate government officials and policy makers on issues relating to standards and interoperability, including by: participating in the development of company positions on public policy issues of importance to promoting interoperability, technology choice, and standards development in the ICT community; engaging with other companies and industry groups to execute on policy objectives; and representing company at conferences and in relevant industry meetings and discussions. Build alliances with other companies and industry associations to promote policy goals and understanding of company and industry efforts in these areas. Respond to Congressional and Administration inquiries, supervising the preparation of written testimony and white papers, and prepare other internal and external communications. Manage external counsel and consultants, and participate in various industry associations and activities. Establish and maintain good working relationships with the government affairs and public policy representatives of other companies, both in and outside the tech sector.
