Who are the cleared advisors that have access to secret ACTA documents?
By James Love, on March 13th, 2009

The negotiating text of ACTA and many other documents, including even
the lists of participants in the negotiations, are secret. The White
House claims the secrecy is required as a matter of national security.
But that does not mean the documents are off limits to everyone outside
of the government. Hundreds of advisors, many of them corporate
lobbyists, are considered “cleared advisors.” They have access to the
ACTA documents.

Who are these cleared advisors? They are the members of these 27 USTR
advisory boards:

All members of the advisory boards can request access to classified ACTA
documents. Below are the members of just four of the advisory boards,
ITAC 15, 8, 10 and 3.
