as well. Specifically, what technologies,

legal remedies, and policy frameworks,

or combinations thereof, can be used to

effectively protect the security of the

Internet, the public switched network,

and other communications systems?

A panel of witnesses drawn from the

public will be assembled to discuss the

following topics with a panel of senior

Administration officials, members of the

Security Issues forum, and members of

the U.S. Advisory Council on the NII,

and to field questions and comments

from other members of the public.

The public meeting will consist of

two panels. The first panel, entitled

‘‘Experiences and Expectations,’’

representing users of the NII, should

address questions in three principal

areas:

1. As systems evolve from a closed to

a more open status, what are your

expectations and needs regarding the

availability and reliability of services

and information on the NII? Examples of

risks include loss of proprietary or

personal information or network

disruptions or outages.

2. How does your organization plan to

ensure that information and underlying

systems are available to legitimate

users? Consider technical, managerial,

and legal strategies.

3. How should government support

the reliability and availability of the

NII? What government policies or

guidance would bolster your confidence

in the NII?

The second panel, entitled, ‘‘current

State of Affairs and Future Challenges,’’

represented industry providers of

communications services, whether

cable, wireless, satellite, Internet, or

public switched network

communications, should address

questions in three principal areas:

1. What are the security risks faced by

industry providers of communications

services today? As networks evolve from

a closed status to a more open one, how

will the interoperability of systems and

the expansion of universal access affect

availability and reliability? How do you

plan to address potential threats such as

network disruptions and outages or

degradation of service as new services

are implemented? Consider technical,

managerial, and legal strategies.

2. Do you feel that end-users are

aware of the level of availability and

reliability associated with various

components of the NII? What steps have

you taken to educate or meet the

expectations of the user in the areas of

availability and reliability of the NII,

particularly within the Internet?

3. How should government support

availability and reliability in the NII?

Some examples might include

legislation, public education, or

regulation.

Public Hearing
