OSD GIG Waivers |
In rare occasions, waivers to provisions may be requested in exceptional circumstances. Mission Partners should make every attempt to follow established policy for use and operation of the DISN. In most but not all cases, requests for waivers are subject to the GIG waiver process and shall be forwarded via chain of command, through the CJCS, to the DoD Chief Information Officer (CIO), stating the reason compliance is not possible. The DoD CIO is authorized to approve GIG Waivers. The Connection Approval Office has published a new document February 2012, which outlines the GIG Waiver Process in detail.
