looking for individuals to run local security groups
Hello,
My name is Brad Dinerman. I am the founder and president of the National Information Security Group (NAISG, http://www.naisg.org). We are a US chapter-based organization of security professionals. Each chapter typically holds monthly meetings, but we also provide a number of online resources and an internationally recognized TechTips email list. Membership is ALWAYS free to the general public; there are no annual dues or fees. Our membership includes top notch security professionals, but the only requirement to join is that you have an *interest* in information security. You do not need to be a CISSP, MCSE or any other acronym. As of today, we have chapters in: * Boston, MA * New York City * Seattle, WA (coming soon) * Washington, DC (coming soon) * Silicon Valley, CA (coming soon) *We are looking for individuals who would be interested to form and lead chapters in other cities, whether in the US or even other countries.* The time commitment is not tremendous, and the position is totally voluntary. You would run the chapter simply for the enjoyment of promoting security. NAISG has excellent ties with the FBI, Infragard and local law-enforcement agencies. Members include administrators, managers, executive, law enforcement, educators/students and more. Members of the local press frequently attend meetings and do write-ups in their respective publications. If this is of interest to you, please check out our Web site at http://www.naisg.org. There are details there about some of the requirements and benefits of creating a chapter. Yours, Brad Dinerman -- _______________________________________________ Bradley J. Dinerman, MVP - Enterprise Security President, National Information Security Group http://www.naisg.org |

Guess he hasn't updated his OpenDNS account so it points at his current dynamic IP address. Or maybe he needs to update his MVPS information. Hopefully he keeps mydyndns updated since he uses that DNS service for his new www.naisg.org site. It appears that security wizards don't know that you do *not* use HTML when posting to newsgroups. |

VanguardLH,
Thank you for pointing out in your very gentle and non-sarcastic way about my URL and posting. I have requested that the URL at mvps.org be updated. I did not realize that it was still listed there, so that was an oversight. And my newsreader was actually configured to send in both HTML AND plain-text format, but I will change that to accommodate your requirements.

His old www.neisug.com doesn't work because either the site no longer exists or Brad forgot to update his OpenDNS account to point at whatever IP address is for his old site. He could probably even have OpenDNS point his old IP name to the IP address of his new site in case he has the old URL published anywhere else. If you click on THIS link to his old site, you end up with an OpenDNS failure page (because the IP address recorded for that IP name is no longer valid; i.e., the host doesn't exist for that IP address). As Brad said, he needs to update the MVPS.org site regarding his information there. When someone claims to be an MVP that I don't recognize, I visit the biglist page at MVPS.org to verify that who they claim they are is actually listed as an MVP. I have seen some posters that claimed to be an MVP but were not. |

If someone puts a certificate on the wall, they had better expect that someone might actually check that the paper is valid. Odd that someone who was nominated and elected to be an MVP - and who CHOSE to be elected and nominated - decides to hide that fact. A doctor whose credentials you cannot verify should NOT be trusted. Same for MVPs. |

MVPs.org is definitely not the authoritative list of MVPs. As you had
observed, my Web site link was out of date on that list. My original site was http://www.neisug.com, but we decommissioned that quite a while ago as our group evolved into http://www.naisg.org. Personally, I visit mvps.org once per year or less, so I did not notice that the link still pointed to the old site and forgot to notify them. That's all there is to it; nothing more and nothing less. If you want an authoritative list of MVPs, then go to https://mvp.support.microsoft.com/communities/mvp.aspx. That is the ONLY list that is considered official by Microsoft. All MVPs will be listed there, though the amount of information that is available about any given MVP is at the discretion of that individual. Some MVPs list as much information as possible, others are more humble or concerned about their privacy. Also, for what it's worth, MVPs do not choose to be nominated as you indicated. Anyone can be nominated by anyone else with or without their consent. However, the MVP must decide whether to accept it if the nomination is turned into an award. _______________________________________________ Bradley J.

You don't have to accept. No one can force you to be an MVP. I got asked if I wanted to be nominated and I declined. You get to choose if you get nominated when contacted to ask if you want to be nominated. It's not like you get nominated in absentia. |

is an option. -- Tom [Pepper] Willett Microsoft MVP === : If you want an authoritative list of MVPs, then go to : https://mvp.support.microsoft.com/communities/mvp.aspx.

I have my suspicions about a Carey Frisch who posts in these Newsgroups, and
claims to be a MVP. I wish that site you gave had a search engine! Regards -- Mick Murphy - Qld - Australia "VanguardLH" wrote: "Mick Murphy" wrote in message ...

Brad, that link to MVPs you have given here is not working.
Why I am asking, is that I have my suspicions about a certain Carey Frisch who claims to be an MVP. Carey Frisch has correctly answered 186 questions in 3 and 1/2 years; not MVP qualifications. The claimed Award is for "Windows Desktop Experience"-"Windows System and Maintenance" Thank you for any help you can provide! -- Mick Murphy - Qld - Australia "Brad Dinerman [MVP - Enterprise Security" wrote: MVPs.org is definitely not the authoritative list of MVPs.
