Roll call
There was one public comment from Teri Prince, CEO of Terida. She discussed the difficulties that small business CSPs and their stakeholders face in the review process and reiterated her CSP’s commitment to FedRAMP.
Larry Hale provided a recap of the previous FSCAC meeting and noted that the GSA Administrator added two priorities from those that were agreed upon in the previous meeting. He noted that FSCAC will develop recommendations on all four priorities and will submit as part of this year’s report to the GSA Administrator. The two new priorities that have been added to FSCAC’s list of priorities for this year are:
Members of the FedRAMP team gave updates on several key areas: the Emerging Technology Prioritization Framework, the Agile Delivery Pilot, the new automation website, hiring status, and the Technical Advisory Group. The team also presented areas in which FSCAC members can assist the FedRAMP team.
FedRAMP team members took questions from the FSCAC membership. Common themes were emerging technology framework, the Technical Advisory Group, potential security controls, and the agile delivery pilot.
Drew Myklegard and Laura Gerhardt gave an update on the status of the final OMB memo. They are working diligently to get the final memo published. They then took questions about the status of the memo from FSCAC.
Questions were asked by the Committee around whether or not milestones for program authorizations have been hit, the role the FedRAMP Board has after OMB sets the policy, and the timeline for release of the draft FedRAMP memo.
FSCAC deliberated on the final wording of their four priorities, including combining the sub priorities previously listed under priorities 1 and 2. Their final priorities list for this year include:
They then voted on whether or not to work on finalizing their recommendations as a group or as subcommittees. Based on the vote, they decided to work on the final recommendation as a group. They also discussed how to best send and receive information during their upcoming meetings and determined that the public comment process was beneficial, but that discussing meetings on social media before they happen could also improve public comment engagement.
Since they will not be breaking into subcommittees, the group deliberated on whether they would prefer to present independent drafts in open meetings or draft as a group in open meetings. They discussed and determined that performing independent research, volunteering for certain sections of the deliverable for individuals to write, and then presenting their individual drafts in an open meeting for discussion and deliberation would be the most efficient approach.
Larry Hale stated he would take the action to recommend to the GSA Administrator to ask FedRAMP to provide more clarity on outstanding items that are needed in the community immediately.
Finally, the group voted to begin working on priorities 1 and 2 first, and the motion was approved.
Larry Hale thanked the Committee for their thoughts and engagement today. Michelle White adjourned the meeting at 11:51 a.m. EST.
