B. Rules on information-sharing Establish rules on information-sharing among CSIRTs, including how shared information should be protected and disseminated. C. Establishment of national CSIRTs Each member state will establish or designate national CSIRTs. Among their responsibilities will be the implementation of the pertinent proposals contained in the document “Recommendations of the CICTE Cybersecurity Practitioners’ Workshop on the OAS Integral Cybersecurity Strategy: Framework for Establishing the Inter-American CSIRT Watch and Warning Network” (CICTE/REGVAC/doc.2/04). D. National point of contact Designate a national point of contact with the capacity to exchange information on threats, weaknesses and incidents, report on the cybersecurity status in their jurisdiction, and provide timely information to authorities within their jurisdiction. E. Best practices compendium Produce a Best Practices compendium based on international CSIRT norms and practices. These could include standards and protocols to undertake real-time monitoring and subsequent exchange of information throughout the network, and could become the basis of subsequent technical assistance and testing protocols. F. Assistance for building and maintaining CSIRTs in Member States Identify resources and capabilities that can be used to help member states build and maintain CSIRT capacity or improve existing CSIRT infrastructures in order to effectively participate in the hemispheric network and meet information-sharing rules. Necessary technical assistance and staff training will be included. G. Public awareness CICTE, CITEL, and the REMJA Working Group of Government Experts in Cybercrime will work together to develop an awareness campaign to alert the public in member states to cybersecurity issues and the need to protect their cyber-networks. H. Follow-up It is recommended that CICTE reconvene the Meeting of Government Experts on Cybersecurity (Cybersecurity Practitioner’s Workshop) to develop and implement the recommendations formulated in the document “Recommendations of the CICTE Cybersecurity Practitioners’ Workshop on the OAS Integral Cybersecurity Strategy: Framework for Establishing the Inter-American CSIRT Watch and Warning Network” (CICTE/REGVAC/doc.2/04).
