Please subscribe to the mailing list <bp_certs at intgovforum.org> . You can also send you responses toproject at africacert.org.
  

*1. To whatdegree do CSIRTs work on issues which are privacy sensitive?*

  *

    Do CSIRTs help build up privacy protections for citizens?

  *

    In what ways can privacy be a limiting factor for a CSIRT towork
    together with the wider community?

*2. What roles allocated to national CSIRT are controversial?*

  *

    Do CSIRT have a legitimate law enforcement function? What are the
    benefits and concerns?

  *

    Do the roles of national CSIRT differ based on where they are built?
    E.g. is a regulator-hosted CSIRT different than one developed within
    the military, the private sector or academia?

  *

    What CSIRT implementations are successful today?

  *

    Is there value in having a "neutral" national CSIRT which is
    independent from all other organizations and run independently?

  *

    What is the role of a CSIRT in a conflict?

*3. How do differences between countries affect misconceptions around CSIRT?*

  *

    Does the type of government affect the type of roles allocated to CSIRT?

  *

    Do CSIRT in the developing world focus on different services than
    the developed world?

  *

    How does funding affect the effectiveness of a CSIRT?

  *

    What are creative solutions for a lack of funding to operate a CSIRT
    function?

*4. How do CSIRT interact with policy makers?*

  *

    Do CSIRT typically have a dedicated liaison with the policy community?

  *

    Where do CSIRT help influence policy, for instance by spreading
    awareness? Are there areas where they should not?

  *

    How have policies internationally acknowledged CSIRTs? Do they focus
    on particular roles of the CSIRT?

  *

    What policy communities are most related to the CSIRT role?
    Technology, economy? How can we reach them more effectively?

*5. Training*

  * Is training available in your country for CSIRT employees

Thank you.
