The Defense Spectrum Office has sponsored , the Spectrum and Electromagnetic (EM) Compliance Special Interest Area on the DAU's Acquisition Community Connection (ACC) portal for many years. This Community serves as a platform to connect Spectrum and E3 Compliance practitioners from across multiple career fields, offering them a chance to talk, share, and acquire knowledge about key Spectrum and E3 topics. While you can still browse the material without becoming a member, by becoming a member, you can directly interact with the community in several ways.
The details of this three step registration process are:
1. Go to "How do I obtain a DAU account?" https://www.dau.edu/faq/Pages/Login-Issues-CAC.aspx and select "Login Overview". Look for "How do I Obtain a DAU Account?". Read the section "Community Resources (ACC/DAP/AAP/ACQuipedia):"
If you do not already have an account, you must use a DD2875 SAAR form to create one, unless you are a member of the Defense Acquisition Workforce. Use "Access to the ACC Communities of Practice" and your reason for the request.
If you are a member of the Defense Acquisition Workforce, you could register for a course through your organizations Training Application System (TAS). This is the first option on the FAQ Page under Virtual Campus.
2. Once your account is created, automated emails should be sent to you saying it has been created and next steps. You will then need to go to DAU's identity management site. https://identity.dau.edu. There you will setup you password and reset password challenge questions to allow for self-service password resets going forward.
3. Once the account is all set up, go to the Spectrum and EM Compliance CoP at https://www.dau.edu/cop/e3 and click the blue Join button. All done!
Bottom line...you must have a DAU account to become a Spectrum and E3 Compliance CoP member, and then you have full access to the benefits of CoP membership.
