Cybersecurity Commission Seen Moving to New Phase
Panel Members Feel Their Job Isn't Done The commission that produced the report Cybersecurity for the 44th Presidency may not disband, but instead continue to provide advice to the Obama administration and others willing to listen.Citing the popular response the 96-page report has received since its release in December, commission co-chairman Harry Raduege said panel members feel they can help the federal government institute many of its recommendations.
