Scope and Applicability. The actions of the NEIGB assess, enable, and enforce enterprise decisions which drive efficiencies and advance capabilities to support business and warfighting mission areas. The charter applies to all U.S. Navy commands and activities. Governance is applicable to all programmed and appropriated Navy Enterprise IT, including IT funded within Navy working capital fund, and Military Intelligence Program. Regarding the National Intelligence Program, the NEIGB will only address IT issues with potential impact to Navy warfighting capabilities. IT, referenced in subtitle II of title 40, United States Code (formerly the Clinger-Cohen Act of 1996) and in this context, is defined as any equipment, interconnected system, subsystem, service (including support service), or related resource that is used in the access, retrieval, transport, processing, analysis, and or display of non-weapons systems, business-related or business process-related applications, data, or information. A representative sample of IT equipment includes, but is not limited to: networks, computer workstations, laptops, personal digital assistants, hand held Internet access devices, cell and or smart phones, air cards, wireless routers, servers, copiers, printers, scanners, bar code readers, video teleconference equipment, and software applications.
