Michelle White, FSCAC Designated Federal Officer, described the duties of the committee. She completed a roll call and determined that a quorum had been established. Michelle reviewed the agenda for the day and announced the process for the public comment period. Each public speaker will be allotted three minutes to provide comments. Michelle reiterated that she would be able to address any FACA-related questions throughout the meeting and invited Ann Lewis, Committee Chair to lead the next discussion.
Michelle turned to Ann Lewis to introduce and lead the committee through a review of the draft deliverable. Ann clarified that the committee would be looking over each section collectively and providing feedback then voting on their top 3 or 5 recommendations. Some committee members proposed that the committee
hold off on voting on the final memo until they could review the committee’s recommendations with their agencies. Michelle confirmed that a final vote could be suspended and moved to the first section of the deliverable for review.
Upon review of the draft deliverable, committee members initially highlighted some improvements in wording. Committee members then expressed desire to expand the scope of the first section and emphasized the need to focus on the security of the cloud offerings in the goal statements. In the middle of their review, the committee decided to take the remaining time before public comment to reshape the recommendations as high-level recommendations and move items outside of scope to a “parking lot.” At the same time, Michelle confirmed that after the meeting was adjourned, each member would get more time on their own to review the changes made and submit their own edits to be captured and consolidated into a revised draft deliverables which will be voted on at the next meeting. The committee then went through the draft deliverable combining elements of different recommendations while moving others to the “parking lot.” The committee also acknowledged that further changes would become more apparent after a period of review and commenting.
The committee welcomed comments from members of the public. Three members of the public provided comments all related to the draft deliverable and recommendations the Committee have been discussing. Attendees raised their hands to be called on and highlighted specific recommendations the Committee should consider which included: focusing on reducing friction for sponsorship, reducing costs for CSPs to receive an authorization, increasing intensity of pen-testing, and providing agencies with the best view of a system’s security posture.
The committee decided that more time was needed to review and refine the deliverable before it could be finalized for a vote. Voting did not take place during this meeting and will occur in a future meeting.
Ann Lewis, FSCAC Chair provided closing remarks and thanked everyone for the conversation and discussion. She highlighted the next steps and details regarding the final deliverable FSCAC members will receive the revised draft deliverable to provide feedback and changes by November 30. The feedback and changes will be consolidated by the FSCAC Support Team and sent to FSCAC Members prior to the future meeting when they will vote on the final deliverable. The meeting adjourned at 2:50 p.m.
