Meeting Notes

Attendees:

• Keith Watson, CERIAS
• Preston Wiley, CERIS
• Mike Hill, CERIS
• Greg Hedrick, ITNS
• Gaspar Modelo-Howard, ECE

Discussion Points:

1. We did a round of introductions for new members of the group. We were joined by Gaspar Modelo-Howard, a PhD student in ECE and former information security officer for the Panama Canal Authority.

2. We reviewed the previous meeting and the assigned action items. Most AIs are still incomplete as of this meeting.

3. We reviewed the proposed mission and vision statements. Keith added an additional proposed mission and vision statement for review prior to the meeting. After some group discussion and word-smithing, we agreed on a final version of the mission statement. The wiki will be updated to reflect the changes. Members are asked to review the posted statements and provide feedback by April 17.

4. We reviewed Keith's document on the Independent Association which outlines our vision for how the organization will operate. It is essentially a philosophy statement. The attending members agreed with the overall intention of the document.

5. We discussed the meeting time, day, and frequency issue. From the responses received, we determined that most members prefer and are available for a lunchtime meeting on Thursday once a month. After further review, the meetings are set for the second Thursday of every month at 11:30am-1pm. The location will not be fixed, though it will be announced in advance. We will review the meeting time every six months for adjustments, if needed. The next review will be at the July meeting for the fall semester.

6. We briefly discussed the formation of study groups. Steve Santy was not available to provide additional detail. Greg believes there are at least five individuals that are interested in the study group.

7. We discussed the naming of the group. We decided to use the "Greater Lafayette Security Professionals" until we think of a better one.

8. The next meeting will be held at the ITaP facilities in Young Hall. Details to follow.

9. Mike and Keith will present a technical talk at the next meeting. The talk will be 45 minutes with 15 minutes for Q&A. The remaining time will be devoted to the business of the organization.
