Dear
CTI Members,

 

OASIS
is beginning the Program Committee selection process for our 2016 Borderless
Cyber series of events. Serving on a Program Committee offers an opportunity to
play a visible role in shaping our cyber security educational outreach. We hope
you'll consider getting involved.

 

Our
plan is to host three events next year. Borderless Cyber Europe will be held in
Geneva, 10-11 March, at the ITU. Dates and locations for events in Asia and
North American will be announced as they are confirmed. 

Program
Committees for these events will be made up of representatives from OASIS and
our partner organizations including the World Bank, ITU, and the World Economic
Forum. A limited number of positions on each Program Committee will be
available for OASIS members.   

What's involved

The Program Committee will be
responsible for ensuring compelling, well-balanced, high-quality content. Members
will: 

Establish program goals

Determine key topics and session categories

Suggest potential speakers and assist with speaker outreach

Evaluate and provide feedback on suggested speaker and/or topics 

Organize and
possibly chair conference sessions

Correspond with
     speakers before the event to ensure their successful participation

And help
publicize the conference via social media and other avenues

Event logistics will be handled
by OASIS staff and the host organizations. 

The
Program Committee will conduct its work via conference calls and email. The time
commitment will average around 4-6 hours per month during production of the
program.  Participating in bi-monthly teleconference calls during this
stage is mandatory. Program Committee members are also expected to
attend the conference and help introduce and facilitate sessions onsite, as
needed.  

 

How to apply

If
you'd like to be considered for one of the Borderless Cyber Program Committees,
please send your bio and contact details to  by Monday, 2 Nov.  Please note if you have a preference or are
only available to work on the Europe, Asia, or North America event.

 

We hope you consider this opportunity to
get involved and help ensure the Borderless Cyber series continues to be a
success.  Looking forward to
hearing from you.

 

Regards, 

Jane
