President Donald Trump will round up some of the biggest names in computer technology sometime in June with a view to creating a technology council to “transfer and modernize” what the government does with technology.

While Trump is not renowned for being tech’s favorite president, the man who once called the Internet “the cyber” does seem to want to get technology leaders on his side. A meeting with industry leaders at Trump Towers late last year was supposed to cement better relations, a meeting orchestrated by Silicon Valley entrepreneur Peter Thiel and Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner.

The White House has confirmed that around 20 tech leaders will meet to discuss the establishment of the American Technology Council. No names of attendees were mentioned. Chris Liddell, a former Microsoft executive and currently Trump’s director of strategic initiatives, will act as director of the council.

An executive order signed on Monday said the council’s function is to “coordinate the vision, strategy and direction for the federal government’s use of information technology and the delivery of services through information technology.” The order added: “Americans deserve better digital services from their government.”

It’s pure speculation at the moment what kind of modernization the order is talking about, but it’s likely Trump has more in mind than getting the White House staff on Slack. It’s possible the government wants to pursue lessening the cost of its reportedly outdated IT systems and automating certain government services.

December’s meeting seemed largely an olive branch, following the President’s occasional spats with tech leaders and the general disdain that emanated from Silicon Valley to Washington D.C. after he won the election. Despite the roundtable meeting and seemingly having Thiel in his pocket, it seems anything Trump does that is related to technology is met with hostility or at least head-scratching in Silicon Valley. Large tech companies have firmly stood against Trump’s controversial failed immigration order, his overhaul of net neutrality and his H-1B visa revisions.

It’s possible the attendees this time will be the same people that attended the first meeting, though how many will want to suffer the criticism of their employees remains uncertain. Head over to Quartz to see that the layout of Trump’s tech table in that meeting.
