Attachment III At the Regional Level – Given the need for a regional approach as it relates to Cyber Security and Cybercrime, the role of CARICOM IMPACS’ Regional Intelligence Fusion Centre (RIFC) will be expanded by improving its capacity to monitor Cyber Security and Cybercrime as it increases its sphere of regional intelligence analysis. To support the RIFC, a Regional Cyber Committee (RCC) will be formed. Membership of the RCC will be National Cyber Points of Contact (NCPOC) from each participating territory. The RCC will be chaired by a representative of CARICOM IMPACS, who will therefore bring together and coordinate the NCPOCs. The responsibilities of the RCC will be to: ‐ 1. Serve as the mechanism for the sharing of information as it relates to cybercrime activities (with possibly links to other criminal activities) nationally and/or regionally; 2. Serve as a mechanism for the exchange of lessons learnt, resources and expertise as they relate to cyber security and cybercrime from a regional perspective; 3. Be an effective mechanism that will aid in the coordination of projects aimed at sustainable capacity building initiatives; 4. Disseminate information, through the NCPOCs, ensuring that each member of the Committee is responsible for the communication and coordination within the jurisdiction which they represent as it relates to the activities of the Committee. This will also entail working along with other stakeholders and other points of contact personnel within their jurisdiction (e.g. OAS/CICTE – National Points of Contact); and 5. Provide relevant reports to the various stakeholders including the Steering Committee, IMPACS Standing Committees, CONSLE, etc. At the National Level – Each member state will be required to nominate two (2) National Cyber Points of Contact (NCPOC), who will serve as members of the RCC. These individuals should be senior level officials with the authority to both represent and make decisions on behalf of their respective countries. Given the cross‐cutting nature of Cyber related issues representatives may be chosen from any area, however it is recommended that consideration be given to: ‐ i. ii. iii. iv. Law enforcement authority, intelligence agency or military unit nominated by the appropriate national security authority Ministries responsible for ICT and Telecommunications Parliamentary Sub‐Committee Judiciary These representatives will serve as the main focal points for the purposes of this action plan and their responsibility will be to represent their member state as it relates to:‐ 1.
