Re: STIX 1.3 & STIX 2.0 Nominations/Discussions Thread

[jg@ctin.us]

Hi All:

I'd like to suggest that we get back to some of the other arguments  
and considerations that were made during the build-up to the vote for  
a Chair for the CTI-TC Committee; that is, that we emphasize  
international representation.

We have had a nomination for Sean Barnum and Aharon Chernin for  
Co-Chairs for the STIX Sub-Committee.  Both are excellent  
candidates...but, sadly, both are based in the U.S.

I'd like to, once again, bring up the idea of international  
representation beyond U.S. government agencies, subcontractors and US  
ISACs as a key decision tool for our leadership selection dialogue and  
process. I believe that it is in all of our best interests to advocate  
and support leadership beyond CONUS to maximize international  
participation in the standards-setting process...and adoption of the  
standards themselves.

As such, I'd also like to point out that over the past couple of years  
we have had active engagement by a number of members of the various  
Listservs from non-US participants.  I'd like to suggest that we  
consider these individuals as well.

With respect to the STIX Sub-Committee (however it evolves), I'd like  
to suggest that Terry MacDonald be considered as one of the Co-Chairs  
of the STIX Committee.  Terry has been a consistent contributor over  
the past year (since I've been monitoring the Listserv) and represents  
a South Asia perspective.... which would be a welcome addition to the  
geographical representation to the leadership for STIX.  His  
participation has been consistent and substantive.  And, he is willing  
and able to serve in the capacity of Co-Chair.

As such, I nominate Terry MacDonald as one of the Co-Chairs for the  
STIX Sub-Committee.


Respectfully,
