Dear Associates,

I am conducting a survey to gage the interest of local Maritime
Information Technology Professionals.

As you know one of the best ways to raise awareness of Information
Security threats, risks and ways to protect ourselves including our
businesses is by building a base of professionals who can bridge the
gap between business and technology. These professionals share similar
beliefs and concerns within the local and regional business community.

In conjunction with the NRC PST*Net research seminar scheduled for the
week of October 10th - 16th 2004 we are considering the following. We
would like to host one or two boot camps for those who are interested
in earning either the designation of Certified Information Systems
Security Professional (CISSP) and/or Global Information Assurance
Certification (GIAC).

* For more information about the CISSP follow this link; https://www.isc2.org/cgi/content.cgi?category=19
* For more information about the GIAC follow this link; http://www.giac.org/

What I would like to ask of you, is to spread the word and have those
who are interested email me A.S.A.P. so that we can begin to plan for
this event. We will need to meet a minimum headcount requirement to
make this a reality. I will compile a list and provide you with a
summarized status update within two weeks time.

Thanks in advance for your time and consideration!!

Please assist,
Mark.
