ICD 206 applies to those disseminated analytic product types (or product lines) developed by the __________.

• A. Open Source Reports
• B. IC Elements
• C. Mission Briefs
• D. Intelligence Community Directorate

Answer: (B)

IC Elements are the organizational units within the Intelligence Community that actually develop and disseminate analytic product lines. ICD 206 sets the standards for disseminated analytic products and ties those product lines to the IC Elements responsible for creating them. This is why the correct choice is IC Elements—the directive governs how the IC’s analytic lines are defined, managed, and shared across the community by the entities that produce them. Open Source Reports and Mission Briefs are examples of product types, not the bodies that generate and govern those lines, and the term Intelligence Community Directorate isn’t the standard designation for the IC’s producer components.
