IHEs & NATIONAL STRATEGY: Single Point-Of-Contact

[Rodney Petersen <rpetersen () EDUCAUSE EDU>]

One of the recommendations in the "National Strategy To Secure
Cyberspace" (www.securecyberspace.gov) is that "each college and
university should consider establishing a point-of-contact, reachable at
all times, to Internet service providers (ISPs) and law enforcement
officials in the event that the school's IT systems are discovered to be
launching cyber attacks."

Is this a good idea?

How could it be implemented across higher education?

What are obstacles or challenges for moving forward with this
recommendation?

Other comments or insights?
