== Discussions, Actions and Results ==

=== Committee Plan ===

The Industry Committee wants to establish contacts with proper people in right places.  These may be in industry, government, academia and regulatory organisations - we will need to liaise with the other committees, for example on the [[Global Education Committee]]'s work with universities.  We need to identify areas where we can make a difference.  Once we have identified potential organisations/contacts, we need to rank these by potential to prioritize and then get other people to help us.  Our plan needs to include pro-active work as well as be able to respond reactively to situations as they develop.

The draft plan was created on the [[Global Industry Committee]] page during the meeting.

Actions and results:
* Create draft plan (DC) ''Completed during meeting''
* Add deadlines and finalise committee plan (DC)


=== Outreach ===

Work in progress and completed items have been added to the [[Global Industry Committee]].

Anything that is to be submitted as an official OWASP response/comment should be reviewed and approved by a majority of the Industry Committee.  More sensitive issues may need approval by the OWASP Board. 

Actions and results:
* Add infragard presentation to 'completed items' (DC) ''Completed during meeting''
