| I am very aware of both sides and have lots of experiences with both groups.
The number of people that use STIX and share STIX data today is not representative of the number of people that will use it in the future, if we are successful. In fact, the early adopters that have a high level maturity will be orders of magnitude smaller in size and volume.

re: "We make a LOT of assumptions that people and organizations are going to do anything more than just process indicators (meaning block them on their firewall or proxy). Most, honestly, do not care. They may share sighting information back to their
own internal tools. But I doubt many will share sightings back to the larger community. The general council's of most organizations will prohibit that for many years to come."
Although I understand the basis for the assumptions you are making in your assertions,
many organizations are currently sharing details on sightings (including attributional data for Targeting Analysis in some "Communities of Trust"). Our primary issues are that a majority of this sharing is still done by manual "Copy & Paste" of unstructured
data which wastes Analyst time for Producers and Consumers, and delays the sharing of Actionable Intelligence.
Most assertions made to this community are based on real world issues and challenges we face today in the CTI Operational Domain not "assumptions that people and organizations are going to do".

Re: It’s a symbiotic relationship!
It is only a symbiotic relationship, if the two organizations are communicating. We make a LOT of assumptions that people and organizations are going to do anything more than just process indicators (meaning block them on their firewall or proxy).
Most, honestly, do not care. They may share sighting information back to their own internal tools. But I doubt many will share sightings back to the larger community. The general council's of most organizations will prohibit that for many years to come.
