# Chief Information Officers Council

> The Chief Information Officers Council (CIOC) is the principal interagency forum for improving
> agency practices related to the design, acquisition, development, modernization, use, sharing and
> performance of federal information resources. Established by Executive Order 13011 (1996) and
> codified in the E-Government Act of 2002 (44 U.S.C. 3603), it is made up of the CIOs and Deputy
> CIOs of executive branch agencies, chaired by the Federal CIO at OMB. The Council publishes
> guidance, playbooks, committee output and its charter as web pages and PDFs. It does NOT operate a
> developer program, publish a machine-readable API contract, or expose a callable API host.
