• Chris Ferris to drive forward CII Security Badge discussion

•  

  • Need a formal process (response and escalation for remediating vulnerabilities) once Security Maven is hired.

  • Also look at security scans, both from code and penetration, as well as other aspects.

  • Some discussion about incorporating code scanning into CI.  But, would need tools available for this (Hyperledger may need to purchase).

  • Discussion ensued regarding independent peer review of projects (advisory role, not a gating mechanism).

  •  

    • Formalizing a function that WGs can provide peer review -- deferring to WG Charter discussions next week.

• Hackfests

•

  • Each project to send a monthly update for the 3rd TSC meeting of the month (Todd to send a reminder).  Paragraph or bullet points are both acceptable.

• Comms tools

•  

  • Talked last year about various alternatives to Slack -- but, didn’t pan out effectively.  Cannot afford enterprise version of Slack.
