Background and Purpose

    On February 13, 2015, President Obama signed Executive Order 13691 
intended to enable and facilitate ``private companies, nonprofit 
organizations, and executive departments and agencies . . . to share 
information related to cybersecurity risks and incidents and 
collaborate to respond in as close to real time as possible.''
    At the Standards Organization's initial public meeting, they intend 
to review the results of previous DHS-hosted public workshops, and 
share a proposed standards framework and standards development process. 
In addition, they will solicit suggestions on existing standards, 
guidelines, and best practices that can be shared as provisional 
guidance until formal ISAO standards are established. Minutes from
