GNI has joined with 31 organizations in sending a letter to the Senate Judiciary Committee urging them to consider the final two nominees to the Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight Board (PCLOB) as quickly as possible.
 
Operating without a quorum for over 19 months, the PCLOB has not been able to perform its critical duties in reviewing U.S. federal counterterrorism programs and ensuring they provide adequate safeguards for privacy and civil liberties.
 
GNI works to advocate for expanded transparency, oversight, and accountability of laws, regulations, and actions related to communications surveillance. Organizations like PCLOB are critical to ensuring government surveillance practices are lawful, necessary, and proportionate around the world.
