 * Secretary: John Poelstra

Future Security Response Plans

 * Dimitris requested that the board discuss plans for future handling
 * follow-up to: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Board/Meetings/2009-03-24#Involvement_of_the_Board_in_Future_Security_Incidents
 * How can the board be kept updated and notified?
 * Paul noted that there may be no way to avoid inherent conflict when a matter arises that affects both Red Hat and Fedora
 * Mike would like to create policy, but it is difficult to write because:
 * Incident response will vary depending on the incident in question
 * Knowledge dissemination will happen as discovery happens
 * Would like to have a contact list and policy so that if Red hat asks who knows we can reference the policy
 * Spot suggests there are two scenarios to consider when laying out a policy:
 * Red Hat related
 * Fedora issue only
 * Seth asked, 'what is a Fedora issue only'?
 * Dimitris noted the community need to have these answered very clearly
 * First possible contacts could/should (?) be:
 * Spot as manager of Fedora Infrastructure
 * Paul as Fedora Project Leader
 * One potential way to expose board members to more information would be a signed non-disclosure agreeement (NDA)
 * Seth opposed to NDAs
 * Dimitris opposed too, but would consider if it's the only way the Board would be kept in the loop
 * Board supports Mike writing a policy that he believes is the right way to to do this
 * individual people will be brought into the loop "as needed"; no blanket groups automatically granted
 * Will need to run past Red Hat Security and potentially Red Hat Legal
 * NEXT ACTIONS:
 * Mike to draft a document and send to fedora-infrastructure by 2009-05-27
