meeting be attempted in the spring of
2011.
Mr. Pickens set forth the ground rules
for Task Force operations. Noting that
the Task Force is chartered through
2013, he expressed the expectation that
its work might be accomplished sooner,
proposing a target deadline for the end
of 2011 for completion of the Task Force
Report to Congress. Mr. Pickens advised
the group that as Chair, he will be
responsible for providing regular
updates on the work of the Task Force
to the SBA Administrator. He concluded
his introduction by encouraging all
members to participate as fully as
possible in all discussions to maximize
the value of their expertise to the Task
Force. He then introduced Frances
Henderson of the Council of Better
Business Bureaus as Vice-Chair of the
Task Force.
Ms. Henderson welcomed the other
members to the Task Force and
expressed the Council of Better Business
Bureau’s appreciation for the
opportunity to work with the SBA and
a distinguished panel of experts on this
important topic. She noted that while
much valuable work has already been
done in both the public and private
sectors to disseminate information
security standards, guidance and
resources to the business community as
a whole, there is evidence that these
resources have not fully trickled down
to, or are not being well utilized by
many small businesses, including those
in greatest need of help with their
information security needs. She
expressed the hope that the Task Force
could identify the gaps in the
information security resources available
to small businesses and propose
solutions that would benefit both small
businesses and consumers.
The other Task Force members each
briefly introduced themselves and their
organizations, identifying their specific
interests and expertise in the work of
the Task Force.
The remainder of the meeting was
devoted to an open discussion on the
focus of the Task Force’s work,
including the development of a skeleton
work plan to be circulated in advance of
the next meeting.
The members agreed that meeting
frequency should be monthly and that
the next meeting date would be
November 10, 2010. No other decisions
were reached.
In closing, Mr. Pickens introduced
Jackie Woodward and Kristi Harmel as
support personnel assigned to the
Chairperson and the Task Force, and
encouraged members to reach out to
them with questions.
The meeting was adjourned at 2 p.m.
