Ciske van Oosten has agreed to take over the Policies and Standards project at the ISM Community. Ciske runs a great blog focused on policies and standards at http://infosec-risk.blogspot.com/.
The idea behind the Policies and Standards project is to build and maintain a comprehensive and well written free set of policies and standards. These things are rarely competitive advantages to any company and so collaboration can benefit everyone. There are some documents now floating around as donations from various companies which is also great.
Ciske has written a great guide to policies and standards and has some great ideas and passion to make this project happen.
The discussion forum is here http://www.ism-community.org/forums/68.aspx and I am sure Ciske will be sending some updates and have a project plan via the ISM blog for the project here http://www.ism-community.org/focusareas/21/PoliciesAndStandardsBlog/focusarea.aspx
If you have any policies and standards you would donated as baseline documents please contact Ciske via the forums.
Cheers,
Mark
