This report is prepared in accordance with Section 114 of the National Security Act of 1947, as amended by Section 324 of the Intelligence Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2003. This report summarizes demographic data on the population of minorities, women, and persons with disabilities (PWD) employed within the U.S. Intelligence Community (IC) during fiscal year (FY) 2016 (between October 1, 2015 and September 30, 2016).

Two years ago, we launched the IC Equal Employment Opportunity and Diversity Enterprise Strategy, 2015-2020, which sets the strategic direction for numerous ongoing efforts across the community.  Now, senior executives are held accountable through performance plan objectives that require they describe how they are creating a more inclusive organizational culture to include completing unconscious bias training. 

The following report encompasses the results of the Fundamental Classification Guidance Review (FCGR) for fiscal year (FY) 2017 conducted by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI), as required by Executive Order (EO) 13526, “Classified National Security Information,” and in response to the Information Security Oversight Office (ISOO) memorandum of March 17, 2016. The FCGR highlights both ODNI accomplishments in classification management - to include evaluating policies, procedures, training and updating classification guides - and the challenges of implementation.
