Members of CBO’s panels of advisers are selected to represent a variety of perspectives so that the agency can gather information and insights from experts with diverse views as well as from the interactions between those experts at panel meetings. In determining membership on those panels, CBO has had a longstanding practice of considering whether members and potential members are engaged in political activity that might influence, or that might reasonably appear to influence, their perspective. If someone is known to have accepted a political appointment or joined a political campaign while serving on one of CBO’s panels, he or she has generally been asked to leave the panel or has not been invited to serve on it while that activity is taking place and possibly, depending on the nature of the activity, for some period thereafter.
