Ensuring a Professional and Respectful Community

AndreaMoore — Fri, 30 Oct 2020 14:58:17 GMT

As a reminder, this Community is a venue to provide professional discussions related to information security. The Community is intended to be a forum for peer engagement, positive discussion and constructive advice. We expect all users to maintain a tone of professionalism in all Community interactions. We have guidelines in place to ensure everyone maintains a civil and productive discussion. Every day, we are encouraged by so many great posts and helpful comments across the Community. We ask that everyone reserve this space for sharing ideas focused on informed and helpful cybersecurity discussion such as technical and security implications, threats and mitigating them in the industry. We would like to keep this Community a place for appropriate cybersecurity topics and encourage all off-topic discussions to be held elsewhere.

All Community users can help ensure we build a professional and respectful community. As mentioned in the guidelines, community members can help self-regulate and flag any inappropriate content or off-topic content that does not uphold the vision of (ISC)² and our code of ethics. To flag, use the menu at the top right of a post and select “Report Inappropriate Content.” It will be reviewed by a Community team member. This Community is intended to be a tool for cybersecurity professionals to work together to solve problems.

Thank you in advance for your help, your engagement in the Community and for all that you all do to inspire a safe and secure cyber world.

Are the minutes of the board meeting, etc. that show the adoption of these guidelines published?

I have never seen any ISC2 Board of Directors meetings minutes published.

Posting Board meetings and discussions might be considered as revealing PII. That is my educated guess.

It has always been mentioned that any postings would have redactions to remove any PII. Clearly not everything the Board discusses falls into the PII category.

Yes, I was once called down for calling another member's very uneducated 'guess' by using the word 'blather' to describe their answer to my well-meaning question, which their guess clearly was in that category.

'Blather' is an innocous English word meaning 'empty or meaningless speech,' and the word is neither caustic nor demeaning. It was a word that fittingly described their response. Look it up.

I have posted very little since then, because if a harmless English word gets blocked, goodness knows what else may be docked.

thanks,
