This is a very good initiative, and should be supported.<br class="">
<br class="">
I have an issue wit the English word "<span style="color:rgb(68,68,68);font-family:Hind,sans-serif;font-size:16px;background-color:rgb(255,255,255)" class="">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="">
