Biannual Meeting: Spring 2008

The Westin Tysons Corner

7801 Leesburg Pike

Falls Church, Virginia ♦ (703) 893-1340

**April 10, 2008**

**Summary**

Operating under the guidance and support of the Bureau of Justice
Assistance (BJA), Office of Justice Programs (OJP),[^1] U.S. Department
of Justice (DOJ or "Department"), the Global Justice Information Sharing
Initiative[^2] (Global or "Initiative") Advisory Committee (GAC or
"Committee") held its spring 2008 meeting on\
April 10. The GAC is a Federal Advisory Committee to the highest-ranking
justice officer in the nation---the U.S. Attorney General (AG)---on
justice-related information sharing issues.

The event took place at the Westin Tysons Corner Hotel in Falls Church,
Virginia. The meeting was called to order at 8:30 a.m. by GAC Chairman\
Robert Boehmer, Global member representing the National Criminal Justice
Association (NCJA). Mr. Carl Wicklund, GAC member representing the
American Probation and Parole Association (APPA), presided as the newly
elected Committee Vice Chair.

The GAC meets twice a year, in the spring and fall, in the Washington,
DC, area. These events are open to the public and announced in the
*Federal Register*.[^3]

The day's program[^4] contained the following items, recommendations,
and action items. In the interest of document structure and report
comprehensibility, the order of events described herein does not
necessarily mirror the agenda. However, the ***content*** is reflective
of meeting activities and resolutions.

**[[Opening remarks and Federal Officials'
addresses]{.underline}]{.mark}** were delivered as follows:

In his opening address, **Chairman Boehmer** recapped results from the
first-ever GAC Meeting survey conducted during the fall 2007 convening.
These findings not only affected the way the April 10 event was
structured but have broader implications for Global outreach and
communication efforts. Responses of note included:

-   ***Biannual Global events are important***---GAC meetings were cited
    as the primary method by which those "very familiar" with the Global
    Initiative stay updated on Committee activities. Respondents
    indicated that the "Global Web site" is the second most popular
    method of staying current on Global efforts. "Staff contact" was
    rated third.

-   ***GAC meeting observers are important and can play an even bigger
    role in Global activities.*** In addition to encouraging comments,
    questions, and participation at this meeting, Chairman Boehmer noted
    that the Global Outreach Working Group is planning observer-targeted
    activities for the fall 2008 convening, including networking
    opportunities and a survey to discover how to better engage non-GAC
    member colleagues.

-   ***When people hear "Global," they think of*** (in descending order
    of citation)***:***

    -   Justice-related standards.

    -   The philosophical and organizational tenets of the GAC---i.e., a
        committee of diverse members volunteering time to represent the
        interests of the entire justice landscape.

    -   Intelligence activities.

-   ***When it comes to Global deliverables, respondents are most
    familiar with*** (in descending order of citation)***:***

    -   The National Information Exchange Model (NIEM)

    -   The Global Federated Identity and Privilege Management (GFIPM)
        Project

    -   *Fusion Center Guidelines*

```{=html}
<!-- -->
```
-   ***The following were identified as areas for improvement*:**

    -   More membership interaction

        -   Committee leaders responded by allotting additional time at
            this meeting for the GAC representatives' roundtable and
            moving the agenda item to immediately after the lunch break.

    -   Enhanced meeting takeaways

        -   Outreach Working Group members responded by creating Working
            Group Briefing Sheets for the GAC meeting. These one-page,
            easy-to-read flyers serve two purposes:

            1.  Preparing GAC members for the biannual meetings by
                highlighting, per Working Group, what will be addressed;
                prerequisite reading; and anticipated action items or
                recommendations for formal vote.

            2.  Takeaways for use in promoting the Initiative. In
                addition to meeting-specific content, the inclusion of
                Working Group overviews, contact listings, and other
                summary information makes these excellent outreach
                deliverables with expanded shelf lives.

**Vice Chairman Wicklund** was introduced for his first address to the
Committee since assuming his leadership role. (The process was conducted
electronically, between biennial Global election cycles, because of the
retirement of the former GAC Vice Chair.) Vice Chairman Wicklund has
served on the GAC since Global's inception, and he praised the
Committee's ability to deliver a varied and extensive suite of
justice-related information sharing resources and recommendations to the
field. He highlighted both the *volunteer* and *inclusive* nature of the
group (to embrace communities such as juvenile justice) and stressed the
importance of clear communication during the meeting proceedings, free
from undefined acronym use.

**The Honorable Domingo S. Herraiz, Director, BJA,** welcomed attendees.
He praised the Committee as an exemplar of collaboration. In particular,
Director Herraiz highlighted partnerships at the federal level (for
example, between DOJ, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security \[DHS\],
and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence \[ODNI\]),
evidenced in activities such as NIEM and fusion center efforts,
including associated DOJ/DHS training and technical assistance. He
previewed the address by the Honorable Kevin O'Connor, U.S. Associate
Attorney General (AAG), scheduled for later in the day. This was AAG
O'Connor's first official engagement since being confirmed to his new
position by the President of the United States the week before. Director
Herraiz concluded by underscoring the importance of educating Congress
on the importance of justice-related information sharing and the
critical work Global contributes to this field.

**Mr. William Ford, Program Manager, National Institute of Justice
(NIJ)**, enthusiastically relayed the confirmation of the Honorable
David Hagy, Ph.D., to Director of NIJ. Mr. Ford stated that the Global
Initiative will benefit from the collaborative relationship between BJA
Director Herraiz and NIJ Director Hagy. He stressed his policy of
referring NIJ grantees to Global recommendations and deliverables,
citing them as "successful" products, and underscored the contributions
that "grassroots" organizations (i.e., local, state, and tribal
entities) make to NIJ by remaining "innovative and able to think outside
the box."

**Mr. Vance Hitch, Chief Information Officer (CIO), DOJ,** provided an
update on OneDOJ, which operates with two primary objectives: 1) to
serve as DOJ's system to share criminal law enforcement information
internally across investigative components, and 2) to provide regional
criminal law enforcement connectivity for authorized users to conduct
federated searches of OneDOJ information as governed by the respective
Memorandum of Understanding (MOU). The OneDOJ System is hosted at the
Federal Bureau of Investigation's (FBI) Criminal Justice Information
Services (CJIS) data center and is used to achieve the goals of OneDOJ.
Regarding the relationship between OneDOJ and the FBI Law Enforcement
National Data Exchange Initiative (N-DEx), OneDOJ will be the anchor
point for federated sharing designed for DOJ users. As envisioned, when
N-DEx is fully developed, OneDOJ regional connections will be
transitioned to N-DEx, enabling regional system users to query OneDOJ
data via\
N-DEx. Significant progress toward OneDOJ goals has occurred over the
past six months---highlights are included in CIO Hitch's slide deck.[^5]

Before moving on to Global business matters, Chairman Boehmer invited
GAC representatives and proxies to introduce themselves, extending a
particular welcome to new members and proxies.[^6]

**[[Global Business]{.underline}]{.mark}** included the following:

§

Chairman Boehmer presented the fall 2007 GAC meeting minutes
(summarizing the October 31 event) for Committee approval. The document
was distributed in advance for members' review and comment; this GAC
meeting summary review-and-approval process is a standing procedure.

As the Global Initiative grows and evolves, its governing rules
periodically encounter new challenges requiring GAC members' guidance
and institutionalized resolution. Responsively, Chairman Boehmer
presented the revised *Global Justice Information Sharing Initiative
Advisory Committee Bylaws* for discussion and formal adoption. The
proposed changes were distributed electronically in accordance with the
timeline mandated by the current *Bylaws,* Section 7.1 Amendments (i.e.,
21 days prior to voting)*.* In summary, the changes finesse language to
provide for a stronger, more responsive Global governance process and
underscore crucial elements of the GAC structure (e.g., the need for
standing proxies), as well as the following three key areas:

-   Institutionalizing the current practice of extending the GAC Chair's
    member agency a "voice" vis-à-vis inviting an additional agency
    representative to the Global table (at no additional cost to the
    Committee and with no authority to vote).

```{=html}
<!-- -->
```
-   Leadership of Global Working Groups---modifying the prerequisite of
    GAC membership in response to the increasingly technological and
    specialized environment Global members must navigate.

-   Processes for filling leadership vacancies outside the biennial
    election cycle.

**[[Guest Presenters and Special Topics]{.underline}]{.mark}** were as
follows:

**Mr. Paul Wormeli, Executive Director, the IJIS Institute**,[^7]
provided an update[^8] on his organization's recent activities. National
IJIS Institute projects include the Statewide Victim Notification
Systems; prescription drug monitoring; Information Exchange Package
Documentations (IEPDs) for transportation and public safety;
communications center data interoperability standards (with the
Association of Public-Safety Communications Officials); forensic
information exchanges and data modeling; creation of Web services for
implementing the Global Justice Reference Architecture (JRA); and
functional specifications for law enforcement automated systems. Other
key IJIS Institute activities center on supporting fusion centers
(including drafting a business architecture and support for Suspicious
Activity Reporting \[SAR\] IEPDs); FBI N-DEx; and NIEM. The IJIS
Institute's industry representation supports eight Global committees and
Working Groups and three NIEM operational committees, volunteering
millions of dollars′ worth of time and expertise. GAC members applauded
this trusted, longstanding, and invaluable partnership.

**Ms. Maria Cardiellos, Deputy Executive Director, NIEM Program
Management**

**Office (PMO)**, provided attendees with a NIEM organizational update,
highlighting new staff positions and Committee Support Manager (i.e.,
"Fellows") awards, including:

-   Ms. Maria Cardiellos, from the state of New Jersey, named PMO Deputy
    Executive Director

-   Mr. Jim Pingel, from the state of Wisconsin, named NIEM Business
    Architecture Committee (NBAC) Fellow

-   Ms. Pisey Frederick, from industry, named NIEM Technical
    Architecture Committee (NTAC) Fellow

-   Mr. Russell Moody, from industry, named NIEM Communications and
    Outreach Committee (NC&OC) Fellow

She also provided an update on the adoption and use of NIEM and answered
some of the NIEM "frequently asked questions" (FAQs).

**Ms. Pisey Frederick, NTAC Fellow**, delved more deeply into her
committee's activities,[^9] including topics and processes for white
paper development; NTAC operational documents; NBAC participation in
NTAC activities; and future NTAC initiatives.

**Mr. Steven Jennings, CIO, Harris County, Texas,** and board member of
the **National Association of Counties (NACo)**, highlighted the value
of information sharing (and, by extension, the work of the Global
Initiative), to local government executives. He noted that information
sharing adds value to local governments by:

-   Creating a consistent, integrated, and standard platform on which to
    build information sharing initiatives

```{=html}
<!-- -->
```
-   Providing a framework to share information through

    -   Cost reductions

    -   Efficiencies

    -   Standard methodologies

    -   Open architectures

-   Enabling successful enactment of national plans

CIO Jennings stated that data sharing is important because:

-   Complete enterprisewide information sharing is *not* universally
    possible.

-   A national mechanism to identify and facilitate broad information
    exchange with other agencies and jurisdictions needs to be adopted.

-   Agencies are often unable to effectively share information in a
    timely, secure manner, and too often there are fundamental
    differences in the nature and understanding of information between
    agencies.

In addition to the specific information sharing activities underway in
Harris County and the state of Texas,[^10] CIO Jennings discussed the
state's path to NIEM. He underscored the following points as reasons for
pursuit of the model:

-   To coordinate the development and operation of justice systems, so
    that those systems are able to share information consistently and
    accurately in a manner that maximizes the services provided to Texas
    justice information users.

-   To create a consolidated justice data model for the state of Texas,
    providing for sharing of information among disparate systems.

-   To establish the final governance model.

-   To comply with the national NIEM Model.

The Texas Justice Information Exchange Model supports collaborative
interagency information sharing statewide by fully conforming to NIEM
and serves as the foundation for use by all levels of government.

**Mr. Robert Woolley, Chief Technologist and Strategic Planner, State of
Utah,** briefed attendees on his state's implementation of
Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA). He provided a real-world example of
the architectural concept that GAC members formally supported in fall
2004, based on the understanding that SOA is an approach most likely to
result in an infrastructure supporting Global\'s vision of how
information should be shared among the justice community (see *A
Framework for Justice\
Information* *Sharing: Service Oriented Architecture \[SOA\]).*[^11] SOA
underpins the Global Infrastructure/Standard Working Group's (GISWG)
evolving JRA. (Mr. Woolley is also a member of GISWG.) In his
presentation,[^12] Mr. Woolley explored why an SOA reference
architecture (RA) was created for Utah; the business, financial, and
technological matters addressed by an SOA RA; SOA RA lessons learned
from the Utah experience; related pilot projects; and issues related to
implementation and use of SOA and the Enterprise Service Bus (ESB)
construct, including lessons learned and replicable project practices
and work products.

As previewed by BJA Director Herraiz, **[[the Keynote
Address]{.underline}]{.mark}** was delivered by **The Honorable Kevin
O'Connor, U.S. Associate Attorney General** **(AAG), DOJ.** AAG O'Connor
commended Global members for their volunteerism to the Initiative as
well as recognizing the members' agencies for allowing them to
contribute time and expertise to this collaborative effort. He noted
that in previewing the GAC meeting and reviewing the advance materials,
he was "amazed at the scope of your accomplishments...I would be
hard-pressed, in my experience, to point to a group that has generated
as much work product in such a short amount of time." AAG O'Connor
highlighted several Global efforts that he found particularly useful in
his previous position as U.S. Attorney for the District of Connecticut,
including fusion center activities and the *Fusion Center
Guidelines*;[^13] SARS reporting efforts, particularly because of the
invaluable leads financial information can provide justice agencies
toward the development of "larger, broader" cases; and the Dru Sjodin
National Sex Offender Public Registry[^14] and Amber Alert,[^15] both of
which use the Global Justice XML Data Model (GJXDM)-based information
sharing standards. AAG O'Connor concluded by stating that "Global has
more than fulfilled its mission," exceeding expectations by anyone's
standards, including the U.S. Attorney General's. Still, there is much
work remaining in the justice information sharing field, and he implored
members "not \[to\] rest on your laurels" but to continue "doing the
great work you are doing." He pledged DOJ's continuing support for the
Global Initiative.

GAC members expressed appreciation for the AAG's time and insights,
particularly for his articulated support for the Global Initiative. To
underscore the importance of that pledge, particularly, in light of
significant funding challenges facing a large number of federally
supported justice programs, the following **[resolution]{.mark}** was
drafted:

> **WHEREAS,** the Global Justice Information Sharing Initiative
> (Global) was created in 1998 under the Federal Advisory Committee Act
> (FACA) to serve as an Advisory Committee to the U.S. Attorney General;
>
> **WHEREAS,** Global serves as the formal vehicle for local, state, and
> tribal justice entities to provide recommendations to the U.S.
> Attorney General promoting information sharing and interoperability;
>
> **WHEREAS,** nearly 175 representatives from leading organizations
> within the justice community volunteer countless hours to the Global
> Initiative through participation on the Global Advisory Committee and
> Global's five working groups;
>
> **WHEREAS,** the time commitment and expertise provided by Global's
> local, state, tribal, and private sector volunteers are immeasurable,
> both in terms of cost savings and benefits to the justice community;
>
> **WHEREAS,** Global membership provides a ready cadre of
> subject-matter experts to support the development of tools for
> information sharing to assist the justice and homeland security
> communities;
>
> **WHEREAS,** Global assists the U.S. Department of Justice in
> achieving its information sharing mission;
>
> **WHEREAS,** Committee members report back to their respective
> organizations to ensure adoption and implementation of Global
> recommendations and information sharing solutions;
>
> **WHEREAS,** Global is leading the way in supporting the development
> of national standards promoting information sharing in the areas of
> privacy, intelligence, infrastructure, and security;
>
> **WHEREAS,** Global resources---such as the *National Criminal
> Intelligence Sharing Plan*, the *Fusion Center Guidelines*, the
> *Privacy and Civil Liberties Policy Development Guide and
> Implementation Templates*, and the National Information Exchange
> Model---are widely recognized throughout the justice and homeland
> security communities as the blueprints and leading sources of
> information in their topic areas;
>
> **WHEREAS,** Global, due to its broad local, state, and tribal
> representation, is recognized as a credible forum for justice
> solutions;
>
> **WHEREAS,** any lapse in funding for this important initiative would
> result in critical loss of momentum and continuity; delay or halt
> progress on the development of important tools and guidelines for the
> justice community; and eliminate an important vehicle for local,
> state, and tribal input regarding information sharing solutions;
>
> **THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED** and strongly recommended that the

> tribal justice communities.

**[[Global Working Group reports]{.underline}]{.mark}** are standard
Committee agenda items. Chairs of these issue-focused groups update
attendees on activities since the last GAC meeting, distribute
deliverables for review and comment, and request formal recommendations
on proposals and/or materials from fellow representatives for delivery
to the U.S. AG.

**Global Infrastructure/Standards Working Group (GISWG)**---GISWG Chair
Thomas Clarke, Ph.D., and GAC member representing the National Center
for State Courts (NCSC) showcased current and future GISWG activities,
including:

-   An update on the JRA deliverables---What is still needed? What is
    missing?

-   Transitioning from the GISWG-housed Services Committee to the newly
    reconstituted Services Task Team. The Services Task Team will
    operate similarly to the XML Structure Task Team in that while these
    groups' activities have direct impact on initiative efforts, they
    are slightly "removed" from the Committee structure by being
    accountable directly to BJA (as opposed to Global entities). Mr.
    James Douglas, Justice Information Systems Specialist, SEARCH---The
    National Consortium for Justice Information and Statistics
    ("SEARCH"), will lead the Services Task Team.

-   The NIEM and SOA/State of Utah presentations (discussed earlier in
    this summary) supported Dr. Clarke's briefing.

-   No formal GISWG recommendations requiring a membership vote were
    presented at this meeting.

**Criminal Intelligence Coordinating Council (CICC)/Global Intelligence
Working Group (GIWG)**[^16]---The retirement of Colonel Bart R. Johnson
from the\
New York State Police (and his consequent departure from GAC membership)
necessitated naming a new leader for the intelligence-focused groups. At
the beginning of the year, Mr. Russell Porter, Intelligence Fusion
Center Director, Iowa Department of Public Safety, was selected to head
the CICC and GIWG. Director Porter has been a longstanding, active
champion in Global intelligence efforts, and GAC Chairman Boehmer---on
behalf of the entire Committee---expressed enthusiasm for the
appointment. Director Porter will represent the CICC on the GAC. His
April 10 briefing included the following:

-   Review of the evolving structure of Global intelligence components
    and how these groups complement each other as well as partner
    intelligence groups

-   Status reports on activities including:

    -   Vetting process for the *Baseline Capabilities of State and
        Major Urban Area Fusion Centers*

    -   Intelligence-Led Policing Guidelines development efforts

    -   Gang Intelligence Strategy Committee efforts

    -   CICC and Major Cities Chiefs Association identification of
        promising practices and development of SAR guidelines

    -   Institutionalizing the *National Criminal Intelligence Sharing
        Plan* (NCISP)[^17] through the Commission on Accreditation for
        Law Enforcement Agencies (CALEA)

    -   Ongoing support to the Interagency Threat Assessment and
        Coordination Group

    -   Vetting process for the *Defining Fusion Center Business
        Processes: A Tool for Planning*

-   The success of the 2008 National Fusion Center Conference, held on
    March 18--20, 2008, in San Francisco, California. Close to 900
    attendees (almost twice the number attending the inaugural 2007
    conference), representing all 50 states, participated in this
    second-annual event. The conference received great reviews from
    attendees and was a success story from a process-orientated
    perspective as well: the event was hosted by DOJ, in partnership
    with Global, DHS, the Office of the Program Manager---Information
    Sharing Environment, the ODNI, and the FBI---making this a great
    example of federal partnerships at work.

-   Future Global intelligence efforts include development of a white
    paper on corrections and law enforcement information sharing,
    development of model policy regarding Controlled Unclassified
    Information, and review of pending proposed revisions to 28 Code of
    Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 23.

-   No formal CICC/GIWG recommendations requiring a membership vote were
    presented at this meeting.

**Global Outreach Working Group (Outreach)---**Outreach Chair Ronald
Hawley, GAC member representing SEARCH, showcased current and future
Outreach efforts, including:

-   As previously discussed, Global Working Group briefing sheets,[^18]
    useful for both GAC meeting preparation and outreach purposes

-   The latest edition of the *Global Highlights*[^19] newsletter
    (created specifically to complement the 2008 National Fusion Center
    Conference). This quarterly newsletter is an easy-to-use tool to
    promote the initiative and help GAC members become "Global
    ambassadors"---all attendees were encouraged to distribute the
    newest edition electronically (linking to or posting on their
    agencies' Web sites) or in hard copy throughout their
    constituencies.

-   As highlighted by Chairman Boehmer during the opening address,
    results of the first-ever Global member survey, conducted at the
    fall 2007 GAC meeting, will be used to improve future Global
    meetings and outreach ventures, including greater involvement of
    observers.

-   Plans for the fall 2008 GAC events---to be held on October 22--23,
    2008---will showcase outreach and communications components, such as
    an enhanced *Global 101 Training*, launching of the new and improved
    Global Web site, and organized networking opportunities.

-   New resource under development---a Global "road map." Envisioned as
    an online model, this deliverable will graphically illustrate how
    the various Global pieces "fit"---the complementary relationships
    between Initiative deliverables and activities.

-   No formal Outreach recommendations requiring a membership vote were
    presented at this meeting.

**Global Privacy and Information Quality Working Group
(GPIQWG)---**Chair Wicklund provided the update. Current and future
GPIQWG activities include:

-   Information Quality Assessment Process Questionnaire---A list of
    questions (grouped by categories) that an agency answers to assess
    whether information quality (IQ) measures are required or have been
    implemented for each step of a particular justice event (e.g.,
    incident report). This process (or tool) is designed to be
    generalized to a variety of justice events.

-   *Information Quality Program Guidebook*---Evaluating IQ is not a
    single task but, rather, part of an ongoing program. This
    *Guidebook* will provide the foundation for establishing and
    implementing an IQ program throughout an agency and agency
    information system. The *Guidebook* (which will include the
    Information Quality Assessment Process Questionnaire) will answer or
    address:

    -   What is IQ?

    -   Why is IQ important?

    -   What are the processes for ensuring IQ, analyzing and
        establishing organization IQ standards, establishing the
        program, and evaluation?

Chairman Wicklund presented two deliverables for Global recommendation:

-   ***Global Privacy and Civil Liberties Policy Development Guide and
    Implementation Templates*:**  ***Policy Development
    Checklist***---This product is a companion piece to the GPIQWG's
    hallmark resource, the "Privacy Guide," and serves as a
    self-assessment checklist to assist privacy policy authors, project
    teams, and agency administrators in evaluating whether their draft
    policies have incorporated all of the components outlined in the
    Privacy Guide.

-   ***Ten Steps to Privacy***---This one-page executive overview
    targets high-level, managerial, and administrative functions within
    an agency to demonstrate the ten core steps an agency can follow to
    develop a privacy policy.

**Global Security Working Group (GSWG)**[^20]**---**Newly confirmed
Chair Ruegg showcased current and future GSWG efforts, including:

-   An update on the Global Federated Identity and Privilege Management
    (GFIPM) Metadata Specification, Version 1.0

-   Status report of the justice credential, GFIPM development
    activities, and new GFIPM resources in process

-   Review of current and future GFIPM projects, including:

    -   LEISP/OneDOJ federated identity pilot

    -   DHS Homeland Security Information Network (HSIN) federated
        identity pilot

    -   Los Angeles County GFIPM Pilot Initiative

    -   GFIPM partnership connecting Los Angeles County Criminal History
        Reporting Systems and San Diego County's Automated Regional
        Justice Information System

    -   Possible GFIPM projects involving the CONNECT Project and fusion
        center applications

-   No formal GSWG recommendations requiring a membership vote were
    presented at this meeting.

**[[During the expanded membership roundtable]{.underline}]{.mark}**,
GAC members were encouraged to share justice information sharing-related
activities taking place in their constituencies. Interested parties are
encouraged to listen to the audio recordings of members' exchanges
housed on the spring 2008 GAC meeting presentations sections[^21] of the
Global Web site.

**[[In conclusion]{.underline}]{.mark}**, Chairman Boehmer thanked
Committee members, program officials, presenters, and guests for their
participation and expertise. He reviewed the dates of the upcoming
Global Working Group meetings.[^22]

Representatives were reminded of the expectations associated with GAC
membership.

Having no further business and hearing no further questions,\
Chairman Boehmer adjourned the fall 2007 GAC meeting at 4:00 p.m. on
April 10, 2008.
