GCSC critical infrastructure protection questions: your input needed.

[woody at pch.net (Bill Woodcock)]

One of PCHâ??s long-term efforts has been to encourage governments to restrict their use of offensive cyber attacks against civilian networks.  As you might imagine, this is a reasonably popular idea everywhere except the US, Russia, and China.  Weâ??ve successfully gotten that effort out of the U.N., where it was floundering, and into a well-supported stand-alone commission.  Itâ??s being taken very seriously by governments, and will be one of the most important topics under discussion at the Global Conference on Cyberspace in Delhi next week.

The work has been divided into two working-groups: one is addressing the question of what a norm should say (i.e. â??Governments shouldnâ??t cyber-attack Xâ??).  The other is addressing the question of what infrastructures should be protected (i.e. what is the X that shouldnâ??t be attacked). Iâ??m chairing that second working group. The main thing weâ??re delivering in Delhi is the result of a survey of what infrastructure people think should be protected.  That survey is still open, and weâ??d like as many people to respond as possible.  So, please consider doing so.  Itâ??ll only take a couple of minutes, and itâ??s a critical part of an admittedly very lengthy process to make your life easier.

Much appreciated,
