This is an interactive listening session. The idea here is that each person that would like to provide CONSTRUCTIVE feedback both positive and negative about DHS’ Role in Vulnerability Disclosure can step up to the mic and have 45secs‚Ķ. Like speed dating but with your thoughts. There will be a loud outlandish buzzer to count the time. The DHS lead for Vuln Management will listen to the feedback provided and will not respond. The DHS Lead will only be allowed to respond “Thank you for your feedback.” This is a listening session. The DHS Lead will make the public commitment to each participant that if they provide their contact information the DHS Lead will personally contact each participant for a follow up conversation.
