Subject: Organization for Internet Safety (OIS) formally announced

For those of you who care about vulnerability disclosure issues, the
"Organization for Internet Safety" (OIS) formally announced its
existence.  This is the same group of security and software companies
that has been discussed in past months.

The founding members are: @stake, BindView, Caldera International (The
SCO Group), Foundstone, Guardent, ISS, Microsoft, NAI, Oracle, SGI,
and Symantec.

Note that my employer, MITRE, is not a member of OIS.  This often
causes confusion because I have been involved in writing documents
that OIS may use as part of their own policies.

The OIS home page is at:

A FAQ is at:

  http://www.oisafety.org/about.html

The FAQ should be of high interest to anybody who does vulnerability
research.
