WASHINGTON – October 12, 2018 – BSA | The Software Alliance welcomes the Senate confirmation of three nominees to the Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight Board (PCLOB) – Adam Klein as the Chair, along with Edward Felton and Jane Nitze. These confirmations ensure the PCLOB will be functional ahead of the US-EU Privacy Shield review next week.
