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
