Michelle introduced the purpose of the meeting and why FSCAC exists, and then went through roll call. A quorum was established. Michelle stated that due to the unplanned absence of the Chair and the delegation of authority that the committee had previously received stating the DFO could act as the Chair in case of an unplanned absence, she would be acting as both DFO and Chair in this meeting. Michelle then reviewed the purpose, outcome and agenda for the day. She provided an overview of the new subcommittee delegation of authority and discussed speaking etiquette and process for the public comment period.
No public comments were made. Public comment portion concluded at 1:09pm.
Michelle, acting as FSCAC Chair, level set and restated the overall purpose, outcome, and process for the meeting today.
Michelle presented each priority area’s top recommendations, starting with the top three recommendations received for the first priority area, CSP Authorization Path Improvements. Jackie Snouffer and Michael Vacirca asked clarifying questions regarding the recommendations listed. Michelle motioned to approve the recommendations listed on the slide, Jackie Snouffer seconded, and it was unanimously approved.
Michelle moved on to the next priority area, ConMon Process Improvements and asked if the Committee had any questions about the three recommendations listed. Several members discussed the recommendations, and John Greenstein clarified how the recommendations might impact small businesses.
Michelle proposed a potential subcommittee tasked with evaluating how the recommendations selected might impact small businesses and what FedRAMP can do about it as a future option for the Committee to consider. Michelle made a motion to approve the recommendations listed on the slide, Bo Berlas seconded, and it was unanimously approved.
Michelle moved on to the last priority area, Automation Initiatives and Opportunities. As there were 4 recommendations listed, the Committee discussed which one to potentially remove from the top list. Daniel Pane proposed combining the first recommendation (B1) with the last recommendations (A3), as they made
sense together. Michelle motioned to approve the new list of 3 recommendations with B1 and A3 combined, Michael Vacirca seconded the motion, and it was unanimously approved.
