Call for Nominations: NG9-1-1 Interoperability Oversight Commission

Members of the 9-1-1 community are invited to submit nominations for the NG9-1-1 Interoperability Oversight Commission (Commission), also known as the NIOC. The Commission provides independent oversight of the PSAP Credentialing Agency (PCA) and the Forest Guide—two centrally operated functional elements required for NG9-1-1 interoperability as defined by prevailing standards. These requirements are derived from specifications developed by NENA’s NENA Development Group (NDG) and the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF).

The Commission seeks nominees who can represent the following voting stakeholder categories:

• PSAPs/ECCs
• NENA Board Delegate
• Commercial End-User NG9-1-1 Products Provider
• NENA Core Services Committee Member
• Elected Officials
• Public Safety Associations
• NENA Development Steering Council

The Commission also seeks non-voting liaisons representing:

• United States Federal Communications Commission
• U.S. National 9-1-1 Program
• Canada CRTC
• United States DISA
• United States CISA

Members of the 9-1-1 community may nominate any individual who meets the qualifications for the applicable stakeholder group. Please submit nominations to admin@ng911ioc.org no later than February 28, 2026. All nominees will undergo an eligibility review prior to being submitted to the NENA Board for consideration. The NENA Board will confirm new Commission members at its March meeting. Each commissioner will serve a two-year term.
