2010 Chemical Sector Security Summit Update

DHS updated the 2010 Chemical Sector Security Summit web page yesterday afternoon. The new page notes that the registrations for the Summit are now full. They are accepting requests to be put on a standby list. This happened last year as well. This is one of the reasons that registration was limited to just three people per organization. Perhaps DHS should consider increasing the size of the Summit; though that might decrease the opportunities for personal communications. Alternatively, they could consider holding this twice a year instead of just once. As part of the Department’s Open Government policy, DHS should give serious consideration to web casting the conference, or at least the presentations made by Department personnel. Comment to the Chemical Security Community: If you have a confirmed registration that you are not going to be using for some reason, please contact Summit organizers as early as possible so that someone on the standby list can go instead.
