My apologies. After checking with affected people, I'm told that the current method for REN-ISAC membership is substantially different than the previous method under which folks I knew were refused. I should probably have mentioned before that I've been a member for close to a year, and I've found the REN-ISAC data to be substantially different from the EDUCAUSE data. I think the limitation on sharing the data encourages different kinds of submissions.
Most definitely. You will see stuff discussed on RI lists that no sane security professional would post to an open list either because: a/ The information could be potentially damaging to the institution (we got done an this is what happened...) or b/ The information would be useful to the black hats ( we have this neat means of tracking ... please help us and run a sensor...) or c/ The information is speculative and we definitely don't want news media getting hold of this... d/ ..... use your imagination. Trust is a wonderful commodity and RI has managed to set up a highly trusted group of professions where people do feel safe sharing information that they otherwise would not. Russell.
