We've begun to have some success in Austin, Texas getting the local fusion center to open up. The Austin Regional Intelligence Center was chartered with an oversight body responsible for monitoring and suggesting changes to the center's privacy policy which, to some degree, governs the information-generation and -sharing hub's operations. The meeting minutes are Texas Open Records, so they're available for the asking. The advisory committee suggested ARIC save time, money, and gain a transparency win by voluntarily posting the minutes on their website: https://arictexas.org/default.aspx?menuitemid=662&menugroup=ARIC+Home I've re-posted the minutes to SoundCloud where they can be downloaded.

There's a state-level working group looking at that possibility for Texas fusion centers. http://www.weblaws.org/texas/laws/tex._gov't_code_section_421.083_texas_fusion_center_policy_council gf - -- Gregory Foster || [email protected] @gregoryfoster <> http://entersection.com/ -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG/MacGPG2 v2.0.19 (Darwin) Comment: GPGTools - http://gpgtools.org iQIcBAEBCgAGBQJTEEJ6AAoJEMaAACmjGtgjYrcP/0uVYy4fX82otT+vN/ebjHJF 4tbWGikAZO61nj6ekbcsqIhoO4hvAy1AjbB/mDZYWT7pt/3bWlNYbcAgY7JktTIf G0Fz1NV5bapZ1lnqCxvqPWTVP9qmWozks3VLdQw8Yy2xSGvjR0ywd7Od+8Eee8T0 1IY6HhvgFwJYr1T+DHXfuVru3B1juw0Kye1jFkyL7WwU6QPospZvZ1dcf3pddxul sonVtUj033JVC+dgX6ZUTya6lC3SynQZNzvoCbWdwUx9ktZ43FNZMNjk1d1N5PNf Fu6grZRFU0rTRweajJFYWwIzskswEf0VoBhOi7bJJTgbPoAVfLSzjk3f+R94KYQy R9jT9+o+E34sQ8AK+yPBlnk9CBv2ZJA1G36GfLpraoqMaS05HChX+TNuhzJ9iiqB lq4zJ+rsNNB2G8v+BZ894KthxlmJay8xEObvyESpBjx9c/xpfw25VENSpgXdVjtq Xcx02tgaw3DkT84msJKa4Qa9yUpJ8C8QM/THHgA9moqW+Vwpq+60u1smlXU/ERWN Sfv4aYcw9S5DMFKde3B84fNyY0gCqtyukQKK2a6VhQJC4wRZsY9ng8q43zvnjd3E OP6VBLQZJmx6pBEWcXKotOYLBVXBIz1RFggCHBVhoAykS6Efe2hj7vXHhs3xsBIT ruxc4boDRNNaShiAowTx =dvgG -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- Liberationtech is public & archives are searchable on Google.
