On the agenda are, among other things, the following:

• Facility Maps
• UTM

You can find more information on the DAC meeting in this pdf here.

According to this pdf about the Drone Advisory Committee membership, there are at least six positions still vacant.

• Airports and Airport Communities – two vacancies
• Navigation, Communication, Surveillance, and Air Traffic Management Capability Providers – one vacancy
