Notice of
this meeting is given under the Federal
Advisory Committee Act, 5 U.S.C. App.
(Pub. L. 92–463). The NSTAC advises
the President on matters related to
national security and emergency
preparedness (NS/EP)
telecommunications policy.
During the meeting, NSTAC members
will receive feedback from the
Department of Homeland Security and
the Executive Office of the President
regarding ongoing NSTAC
recommendations. They will also
receive an update from the Cloud
Computing Subcommittee, and receive
an update on the National Public Safety
Broadband Network Subcommittee
scoping effort. Additionally, there will
be three discussions about Priority
Services for Next Generation Networks,
a Cyber Code of Conduct and current
NS/EP communications issues related to
risk management. The NSTAC will
discuss options for developing and
deploying Next Generation Network
Priority Service capabilities to ensure a
seamless transition from existing
circuit-switched Priority Services as the
carriers transition to Internal Protocol
platforms. During the session on Cyber
Code of Conduct, Federal Government
officials and members will discuss the
issue of the potential economic impact
and policy issues related to botnets and
the problems they cause to computer
systems, businesses, and consumers.
(Botnets are a group of compromised
computers that are connected to the
Internet and are used for malicious
purposes). This discussion will include
steps to stop botnets from propagating
and to remove or mitigate the malicious
software where installed. The last
discussion will center around industry’s
current risk management practices for
NS/EP, how to better utilize these
practices in Government to assure better
response to cyber threats and how
improving mechanisms for sharing
threat information with industry can
improve mitigation of cyber threats.
