The Board consists of senior representatives from DOT, FAA, NOAA, NASA, DOD, Homeland Security, White House Office of Science and Technology, Director of National Intelligence, and the InterAgency Planning Office. The Interagency Planning Office for NextGen executes recommendations of the Senior Policy Committee and the NextGen Executive Board. It provides an environment for transparent multi-agency coordination and engagement through work groups, meetings and workshops; integrates NextGen multi-agency research and development requirements and facilitates transfer between agencies by enabling Research Transition Teams and work groups. Topics briefed at this meeting included future NASA budget requests and Agency Cyber-security. The White House Office of Management and Budget has informed NASA that a request was sent to Congress to dramatically increase the funding levels provided to NASA Aeronautics over the next ten years. If enacted by Congress, the increase would raise NASA Aeronautics baseline FY 2016 funding of 633 million dollars
