I have not been much of a fan of ISC2 for a while now. While not outright vocal in my displeasure, as many others in the community have been, I’m of a mind that change needs to happen. Rather than set fire to my cert…yes, I have one…I’m going to support a change. Wim Remes is running for the board and I for one will be supporting him.
From Wim’s site:
On August 19th I received the yearly e-mail from (ISC)2 where they informed me of their
board elections that begin on November 16th. While I respect everyone currently
slated for the ballot, I always cringe a little when I look back at yet another year of
separation between the infosec community of which I am a vocal participant and the
institution (ISC)2. I could spend another year on the sideline OR I can try and BE
the change that MANY of my online and real life friends are waiting for.This is my official petition page to have my name added to the election ballot on November 16th.
It’s time for the community to stop whining about the ISC2 and do what we should have done in the first place. We need to take it over.
Impossible? No. Sign the petition.
I support Wim.
