Hey, Pete -
Note that I specified "an academic-cum-actual security researcher with dirt under their fingernails", not merely an academic. Nor am I against
a private-sector co-chair, but "preferably _not_ a vendor".
The point is, if we agree
on the need for a co-chair, here are the essential qualifications:
0) someone practical
1) someone neutral
2) someone non-US
3) someone that isn't going to drive Rich crazy (ie, compatible personalities == enhanced collaboration)
Cheers,
Trey

Subject: RE: [cti] Inviting nominations for Chair of Cyber Threat Intelligence (CTI) TC,
As a data point, in discussing adoption of STIX/TAXII with National Government CSIRTs and other large corporate international organizations, a US/DHS only way forward, has / is an inhibitor to formally using STIX/TAXII in
the recent past.
I am aware of some USG elements liking that we demonstrate a broad representation.
So, I endorse and support Rich, both for his leadership and technical passion as well as vision for this effort. And will bow to what the group decides.
But would heavily suggest that we have someone else assist Rich in his chair duties as his co-chair. This is more about perception and adoption than about substance/content. And no, I am not soliciting an academic. We
really need and want 'industry' (across the board) to use this.

The significance only means something if we *make* it mean something.
I understand that there might be concern about an OASIS TC being seen just to do DHS’s bidding. However, expanding on what Tony rightly says, there are many TCs where there are initial worries that one party (public,
private, research, not-for-profit) is set to run the show – but the nature of the open process, transparency, and engagement from all sides will do more to “disappear” that myth than any “fix”.
This is not an argument against co-chair(s) per se: just that, if we need such a role, it will become apparent quickly enough.
All the best,
Peter

The world of international technical committees in
this sector contains numerous examples of chairs
from government agencies. Furthermore, Rich
is rather more than an agency representative in
this context. From both a substantive perspective
as well as effective leadership and "messaging,"
his chair position is important.
As someone who leads the ETSI equivalent activity,
(and formerly led the equivalent in ITU-T) Rich's
chair position probably enhances the global
assimilation of the CTI suite.

However, I suggest the following, especially for us 'Americans' to consider. We need to have another individual as a co-chair. Simply put, to not be something that OASIS is adopting only for the US Department of
Homeland Security (DHS).
