https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Board/Meetings/2009-04-22

== Roll Call ==

* Attendees: Jesse Keating, Bill Nottingham, Harald Hoyer, Paul Frields, 
Tom "Spot" Callaway, Dimitris Glezos, Mike McGrath, Matt Domsch, Seth Vidal
Regrets: Chris Aillon, Chris Tyler
* Secretary: John Poelstra

== Future Security Response Plans ==
* Dimitris requested that the board discuss plans for future handling
** follow-up to: 
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Board/Meetings/2009-03-24#Involvement_of_the_Board_in_Future_Security_Incidents
** How can the board be kept updated and notified?
* Paul noted that there may be no way to avoid inherent conflict when a 
matter arises that affects both Red Hat and Fedora
* Mike would like to create policy, but it is difficult to write because:
** Incident response will vary depending on the incident in question
** Knowledge dissemination will happen as discovery happens
** Would like to have a contact list and policy so that if Red hat asks 
who knows we can reference the policy
* Spot suggests there are two scenarios to consider when laying out a 
policy:
*# Red Hat related
*# Fedora issue only
** Seth asked, 'what is a Fedora issue only'?
** Dimitris noted the community need to have these answered very clearly
* First possible contacts could/should (?) be:
** Spot as manager of Fedora Infrastructure
** Paul as Fedora Project Leader
* One potential way to expose board members to more information would be 
a signed non-disclosure agreeement (NDA)
** Seth opposed to NDAs
** Dimitris opposed too, but would consider if it's the only way the 
Board would be kept in the loop
* Board supports Mike writing a policy that he believes is the right way 
to to do this
** individual people will be brought into the loop "as needed"; no 
blanket groups automatically granted
** Will need to run past Red Hat Security and potentially Red Hat Legal
* '''NEXT ACTIONS''':
** Mike to draft a document and send to fedora-infrastructure by 2009-05-27
