Office of the National Cyber Director - RFI for ideas, inputs, and recommendations


Brian Behlendorf
 

Thought people here might find this of interest. Probably worth multiple responses rather than a SIG-coordinated one, but perhaps worth discussing how a response to this might connect with the goals of this SIG.

Dear Colleagues:

As many of you know, the Office of the National Cyber Director is in the initial stages of a collaborative development of a new National Strategy on Cyber Workforce and Education.  As part of our wide-reaching plan and in order to gather as much information, ideas, and recommendations for this to be a successful effort, we are seeking best practice insights, ideas, and inputs from stakeholders in the private sector, non-profit organizations, academic institutions, and government in the following areas:

 

I.  Cyber Workforce:  Recruitment, Hiring, Career Development, Reskilling, Retention, Statistics & Data

II.  Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility (DEIA):  In the Workforce, and in Training, Education, and Awareness Efforts

III.  Training, Education, Awareness:  Training, Higher Education, K-12 Education, General Cybersecurity education, digital awareness and online safety

To reach as much of the nation as possible, we are casting a wide net through a publicly available Request for Information ( Office of the National Cyber Director Requests Your Insight and Expertise on Cyber Workforce, Training, and Education - The White House), and we would welcome your thoughts and experiences on this topic, as well as those from within your organization to provide us with impactful insights and recommendations to share in any of the above or related areas.  We want to ensure that we hear from as many voices as possible as we move forward, so should you or your staff have any questions, please feel free to share them with me or Suzanne Nielsen, Director, National Workforce and Education Strategy (suzanne.c.nielsen@... ), and our team will follow up with you as soon as possible.

Thank you for your involvement and partnership,

 

Sincerely,

 

Paul

Thanks for sharing Brian!  I think this would be something most excellent for the group to have some thoughts on!  Do you have a deadline when you’d like comments back to you (I am assuming you’ll be collecting for the OSSF)?

If this group wants to develop a response, I can send it into the RFI on OpenSSF letterhead, but I'll need a week to get legal review on our side (among other reasons so we stay clear of "lobbying"). It's not going to take a week's worth of work to review, but I don't control the queue of items through the LF's legal team, so a week is my safe estimate of how long that'll take assuming a couple of pages of response plus work any changes with the SIG. I also can't commit OpenSSF staff time to collate/organize/make sense of individual responses into a unified one - it needs to be someone here who can be the editor.

David and I chatted after the BEST working group call today.  He and I and many in the group see a lot of value in contributing here.  To that end I created this strawman draft(1) for the group to massage and contribute to if we want one response from the SIG.  It would be useful to get some guidance on how we want to position the response (is this a list of what we’re doing?  Is this a list of proposed contributions to their effort?  Is this an invitation for their contributions? Etc.).  I know that my company will also be working up a response from their perspective that may touch on the SIG’s efforts, but ultimately be tailored to their interactions with the NCD to date and ongoing.

 

We’re VERY excited about this opportunity and I welcome the SIG (and other members) to help us craft a most excellent response.  I’m glad to help steer this and get it prepped for your side’s legal review. TEAM – please get your thoughts/suggestions/additions/removals/comments in before 16October so we can give the LF team time to do their review. 

 

Thank you all!
