Action Item 5: Establish a system of on-going technical assistance and information exchange for CSIRTs. Some countries will need capacity-building assistance or technical assistance to create an information protection coordination capacity or to improve existing capacities in order to meet the required standards. Financing will need to be secured. Upon completion of Action Item 1, hold an Inter-American meeting of existing CSIRT representatives to move forward on the action items and on issues of information- sharing, identification of gaps in coverage and technical assistance, interoperability, and intercommunication. Representatives of the OAS Cyber-security Working Group would attend to provide policy input where necessary, and ensure that the issues outlined in this paper are addressed. Such a meeting would also be an important step in tackling the trust issue, and, as it would be at the technical level, would not be contingent upon GA action.
