The one question I have and it is raised by the use of the word “Observatory/Observatorio”. This word suggests to me that the SIG will be monitoring and not an action group. We have more than enough institutions and organizations monitoring cybersecurity issues, what a SIG from the Internet Society needs to be doing is organizing actions, not just providing information.<div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">John More</div><div class=""><br class=""><div class="">

This is a very good initiative, and should be supported.<br class="">
<br class="">
I have an issue wit the English word "<span class="" style="color:rgb(68,68,68); font-family:Hind,sans-serif;
font-size:16px; orphans:2; widows:2;
background-color:rgb(255,255,255)">Observatory" which has been
translated from "Observatorio". In English, it has the connotation
of observing but not changing. I believe the aim of this group is
not only to observe, but to take action.<br class="">
<br class="">
Therefore, I suggest name such as Cybersecurity SIG.<br class="">
<br class="">
Also, what would be the working language of the group?<br class="">
