SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background and Purpose

    On February 13, 2015, President Obama signed E.O. 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.''
    In accordance with E.O. 13691, DHS has entered into a cooperative 
agreement with a non-governmental ISAO Standards Organization led by 
the University of Texas at San Antonio with support from the Logistics 
Management Institute (LMI) and the Retail Cyber Intelligence Sharing 
Center (R-CISC). The ISAO Standards Organization is to work with 
existing information sharing organizations, owners and operators of 
critical infrastructure, relevant agencies, and other public and 
private sector stakeholders to identify a common set of voluntary 
standards or guidelines for the creation and functioning of ISAOs.
    The May meeting in Anaheim California is part of this collaborative 
effort. This meeting is another in a series of workshops to assure 
transparency in the standards development process. Previous in-person 
workshops were held by DHS on June 9, 2015 at the Volpe Center in 
Cambridge, MA, and on July 30, 2015 at San Jose State University in San 
Jose, CA; and by the ISAO Standards Organization on November 9, 2015 at 
the LMI Headquarters in Tysons, VA, and February 9, 2016 at the 
University of Texas at San Antonio in San Antonio, TX.

Meeting Details

    The Information Sharing and Analysis Organization (ISAO) Standards 
Organization is working with its six Standards Working Groups (SWGs) to 
develop documents to address the creation and functioning of ISAOs. The 
initial set of draft documents will focus on the needs of those seeking 
to join or form an ISAO and should be released for public comment by 
early May. The initial set of voluntary standards should be released 
for comment in June 2016.
    Specific questions to be addressed include:
     What needs to be considered by a newly-forming ISAO and 
what are the first steps?
     What capabilities might an ISAO provide?
     What types of information will be shared and what are some 
mechanisms for doing so?
     What security and privacy is needed for a newly-forming 
ISAO?
     What mentoring support is available for newly-forming 
ISAOs?
     What government programs and services are available to 
assist ISAOs?
     What concerns do regulators and law enforcement have about 
the new ISAO construct?
    During the May 19th public meeting in Anaheim, California, the 
Standards Organization will encourage public discussion and debate of 
the ISAO Working Groups initial draft documents. Additionally, the 
Standards Organization seeks input on proposed voluntary standards. All 
input and comments received in this forum will be evaluated by the ISAO 
Standards Organization and working groups as the initial set of 
documents are finalized for publication by September. The minutes from 
this meeting will be made available to the public at www.isao.org.
