Real Cases Mailing List - Charter V1.0

Objective
This charter sets out the lists operating rules for both posting
and moderating.
Information about subscribing, unsubscribing and the archives can
be found at the end of this charter.

Background

This list is moderated by Topi Ylinen (topi.ylinen () hushmail com),
who is the CISO at a European localization service. This mailing
list is intended for infosec professionals and others who need
information on and/or want to discuss real infosec incidents. The
difference to the existing Incidents mailing list (which is for
technical issues) is that the Real Cases mailing list has a wider,
more management-oriented perspective.

What is appropriate content?

The Real Cases mailing list is a forum for the discussion of
infosec violations, incidents and court cases from the infosec
management perspective. Here are some examples of what would
constitute appropriate content:

Infosec crime: News headlines on real cases. How do infosec
criminals and blackhats operate today?
Legislation and court cases: What are the applicable laws? When and
how to report an incident to the authorities? How did things turn
out in the court?
International issues: The differences in legislation and IT
cultures. What if the perpetrator is operating from a different
country?
Trends and statistics: What are the current trends in infosec
crime? What kind of incidents cause the greatest corporate losses?
When discussing a case, it is acceptable to cover the technical
aspects, but purely technical topics should be taken to other
lists, such as the Incidents mailing list.

Whitepapers that deal with the relevant content may be posted.
Papers that require a user to register before downloading or
receiving the paper must NOT be posted and will be rejected.

Guidelines for Posting

All postings should be polite, non-personal and contain no
defamatory or derogatory comments or foul language
All posting must be commercial / marketing free (discrete footnotes
and email signatures are acceptable)
All postings must be in English
Everyone has an equal voice and all posts will be approved as long
as they post within the bounds of this charter.
Only posts in text will be approved. No HTML!
Please keep in mind that the list will be universally accessible.
When discussing a real crime case, it may be wise not to divulge
any actual names, IP addresses or other uniquely identifying
information.

Guidelines for Moderating
The moderator has sole and full discretion over what is appropriate
content and what is not. We reserve the right to reject any message
however in general all posts will be approved as long as they post
within the bounds of this charter.

Conflict Resolution
> From time to time people may feel that a post was either approved
that shouldn't have been or a post was not approved that should
have been. The appropriate way to deal with all moderation and list
management issues is to:

1. Refer to this charter.
2. If you still feel a mistake has been made then you should mail
the moderator (topi.ylinen () hushmail com) offline, explain your
concerns and discuss the issue.
3. If you still feel a mistake has been made you should send the
offline email discussion thread with the moderator along with your
reasons why you feel this is not appropriate to Dave Ahmad
(da () securityfocus com) and copy the moderator.

If you are ever unsure if you should post or feel there is a
justified reason why you are posting outside of the charters scope,
you can mail the moderator for advice prior to posting.
