Hi Gary, Kevin, The Security Discussion list is one of many EDUCAUSE Constituent and Discussion Groups. These are open, informal ³communities of practice² and the lists are typically open for anyone to subscribe. The archives are also publicly available, and so they are sometimes collected or shared on sites like seclists.org <http://seclists.org>. As noted on our website, http://www.educause.edu/discuss: "Postings to a Constituent Group listserv are indexed and archived in a publicly searchable format in keeping with the association¹s commitment to open sharing of ideas, issues, and practices involving information technology in higher education. This allows quick review of past discussions.² The suggestion to make the archives private has been raised (and considered) several times in the past by the Higher Education Information Security Council (HEISC) Leadership Team, but we have always determined that leaving the listserv open and the archives publicly accessible were in the best interest of the community. As noted below, the REN-ISAC is one option for a closed, vetted community. We would be happy start a dialog about the pros and cons to our current approach for this listserv. Please feel free to share your thoughts on this thread or contact me directly.

RI has some additional requirements that make it less accessible to many of us, particularly those more peripherally involved in IT security and at smaller institutions that can't afford or are unwilling the pay the fee. This list has value as an adjunct to RI for those who already have access and a source of information for those who don't. I have to admit my original post here I had intended to send to a state list (oops), but you can't undo e-mail and I figured it was still relevant. I do question if it is in the common interest for this list to be truly public, or at least to publicly available quite so quickly. Anyone interested in taking this issue up with the group sponsors? I'd be particularly interested in hearing the arguments in favor of list archives remaining public.

It is all publically available on Educause's website as are all educause lists. If you need a private list, look at something like REN-ISAC. http://listserv.educause.edu/cgi-bin/wa.exe?A0=SECURITY -----Original Message----- From: The EDUCAUSE Security Constituent Group Listserv [mailto:SECURITY () LISTSERV EDUCAUSE EDU] On Behalf Of Gary Warner Sent: Friday, March 27, 2015 10:35 AM To: SECURITY () LISTSERV EDUCAUSE EDU Subject: [SECURITY] Public list? Is this list INTENDED to be publicly archived and shared? As I was googling about for something that I saw posted here, I found that all of our messages are being shared on seclists.org. Example: http://seclists.org/educause/2015/q1/264 Please use caution when sharing information on-list. Be aware that what you post here is being publicly logged. If this list is NOT supposed to be publicly logged, could we review and address that, please?
