Board for International Broadcasting Until the Broadcasting Board of Governors is established, BIB is still responsible for supplying RFE/RL policy direction. As such, the Chairman, BIB, should review and evaluate any RFE/RL plans to change or add to its mission to ensure that such plans are consistent with the legislation, do not duplicate or overlap existing programs, and are fully coordinated with other U.S.-funded organizations performing similar activities.
Closed – Not Implemented
The Broadcasting Board of Governors has been established, held its first meeting, and assumed oversight of RFE/RL.
