Hi Josh, How are you? I'm reaching out with respect to last week's letter sent out by the Presidential Advisory Commission on Election Integrity. In that letter, the Commission asks how it can "support state and local election administrators with regard to information technology security and vulnerabilities ." We want to be sure that we understand the request and coordinate so that the Commission's efforts touching on cybersecurity don't create any confusion or inadvertently disrupt critical efforts DHS is leading to work with state and local officials (including State Secretaries).

To help clarify roles, would it be possible to share a charter or scope of the Commission so we can help de-conflict where the Commission is going and ongoing DHS efforts? Meanwhile, we would be happy to update the Commission on the Department's election systems infrastructure protection initiatives and programs if helpful to ensure that we're successful in our respective missions while not overtaxing or confusing our stakeholders.

Thanks in advance - the Department is standing by to help the Vice President in his efforts!

Hope you have a fabulous 4th of July!

Hi Josh, How are you? I'm reaching out with respect to last week's letter sent out by the Presidential Advisory Commission on Election Integrity . In that letter, the Commission asks how it can "support state and local election administrators with regard to information technology security and vulnerabilities." We want to be sure that we understand the request and coordinate so that the Commission's efforts touching on cybersecurity don't create any confusion or inadvertently disrupt critical efforts DHS is leading to work with state and local officials (including State Secretaries).

Recipient:

Hi Josh, How are you? I'm reaching out with respect to last week's letter sent out by the Presidential Advisory Commission on Election Integrity. In that letter, the Commission asks how it can "support state and local election administrators with regard to information technology security and vulnerabilities." We want to be sure that we understand the request and coordinate so that the Commission's efforts touching on cybersecurity don't create any confusion or inadvertently disrupt critical efforts DH5 is leading to work with state and local officials (including State Secretaries).

To help clarify ro les, would it be possible to share a charter or scope of the Commission so we can help de-conflict where the Commission is going and ongoing DHS efforts? Meanwhile, we would be happy to update the Commission on the Department's election systems infrastructure protection initiatives and programs if helpful to ensure that we're successfu l in our respective missions while not overtaxing or confusing our stakeholders.


Hope you have a fabulous 4th of Ju ly!

Kirstjen,

Andrew Kossack will send you the materials. He is staffing the commission. Can we have a conference call today with our team and you and/or Chris? We spoke with Chris a couple of weeks ago and wanted to follow up on our discussion. Thanks.

Commission's efforts touching on cybersecurity don't create any confusion or inadvertently disrupt critical efforts DHS is leading to work with state and local officials (including State Secretaries).

To help clarify roles, would it be possible to share a charter or scope of the Commission so we can help de-conflict where the Commission is going and ongoing DHS efforts? Meanwhile, we would be happy to update the Commission on the Department's election systems infrastructure protection initiatives and programs if helpful to ensure that we're successful in our respective missions while not overtaxing or confuSing our stakeholders.


Hope you have a fabu lous 4th of July!
