ISC2 By-Laws Proposal #8

Note: it was pointed out on 12/27/2022 that the Original text below was in error as there are only 10 sections, not 11. That is updated below. For the proposed, it will either be renumbered to be point 11 or point 11 will need to be noted as “omitted”. Either way this does not change the actual proposal text. The Original below is for convenience only. There is a link to the current by-laws on the ISC2.org website in case of any confusion or error.

 

Original

IX. Miscellaneous Provisions

   Sections 1 through 11 10 remain as is.

Proposed

IX. Miscellaneous Provisions

 

New Section 12.

      12. Policies, Procedures, and Meeting Minutes. Formal Policies and Procedures of the Organization as well as Minutes of all Board and Committee meetings, shall be published in a manner accessible by Members.

Rationale

Currently, many policies are kept secret. When I have asked to see certain policies, I have been told it is the policy of the organization not to release the contents of policies to the members. In the interest of transparency, all of these should be posted. Personnel sensitive, or other personal information should be considered in Executive Session and not documented in the minutes, or redacted from them. Similarly, if there is discussion that might give a competitor organization an advantage, that information should be redacted as well.
