NET+ Areas of Interest

[Nick Lewis <>]

Hi everyone,

I hope everyone's semester is winding down and you're getting ready for a 
good holidays! We're ready to start working on next steps in the NET+ program 
to coordinate the community on this. Feel free to forward this onto anyone on 
your campus or the community you think might be interested.  

We plan to convene a working group a few times before the end of the year 
starting on November 27 at 2 p.m. ET/11 a.m. PT for you to share how you are 
currently managing vendors or third parties, develop common use cases, and 
identify community requirements for a RFI/P for third-party risk management 
service. I know this is a bad time of year to start something new, but 
hopefully this time will work for many of you to give direction on where we 
should go with this.

More details can be found at a blog we just posted:

If you're interested in being involved in this, register for the call in Zoom 
to get the call-in details and invite:

I've also setup an email list to use for discussion after the kickoff call:

If the time doesn't work for you, please reach out to me directly so we can 
setup a call to get your input.

If you're looking for an overview of some of the tools in this space, 
EDUCAUSE just held a Demo Day on Vendor Risk Management Tools that a couple 
vendors gave an overview of some tools that might be helpful to stimulating 
discussion:

Please let me know if you have any questions or feedback.

Thanks,

Nick
