Subject: [SECURITY] survey re interest for SAN NetWars Tournament at SPC (short deadline to answer)

SANS, EDUCAUSE and REN-ISAC are considering offering a 6 hour SANS NetWars Tournament as a preconference seminar at the 
EDUCAUSE Security Professionals Conference on May 15 in Indianapolis. A nominal fee of
$175 will be charged to recover facility costs for food and audio-visual.

We need to gauge the number of likely participants in order to decide whether to hold the Tournament. If you think 
you'll participate, please complete this survey before close of business on February 7.

Participants bring their own laptop to play. Your response is not binding. Contact information will not be used for any 
purpose other than judging whether to host the Tournament. Your response will be shared with SANS, REN-ISAC and 
EDUCAUSE.

Please answer the survey for yourself only, not for your team or campus.
Feel free to forward to anyone at your organization that might be interested.

NetWars Tournament is a collection of live, hands-on computer and network security challenges designed to represent 
real-world security issues, their flaws and their resolutions. NetWars is meant to challenge network and security staff 
and build the player's skills throughout the challenges. Each player will receive feedback on the tasks, giving them 
valuable information so they can improve their skills. To read about NetWars, visit (http://www.sans.org/netwars/).
