Besides the calendar year, AmCham observes another annual cycle - the advocacy year that runs from May to May in line with the publication date of the Taiwan White Paper. The content of the White Paper - both the general proposals for economic policy (given in the Overall Recommendations and Overview sections) and the specific suggestions in the individual committee position papers - sets the agenda for the Chamber's discussions with Taiwan's government agencies for the following 12 months. It also provides the main themes for the exchange of views with U.S. government and Congressional offices, think tanks, and other experts that takes place during the AmCham "Doorknock" delegation's visit to Washington, D.C. in June - as well as for briefings given to the many U.S. government and high-level private missions that come through Taipei during the course of the year.
