Attachment:

        The Security Lead will oversee the Assistant Security
        Leads and may delegate responsibilities and tasks as he/she
        sees fit. The Security Lead, along with the Assistants, is
        responsible for reviewing OpenAFS code and standards for
        potential and reported security vulernabilites.  The Security
        Lead will be the first point of contact for reported security
        vulnerabilities.

        In the case of a known security vulernability, the Security
        Lead may push and merge code in Gerrit without further review
        by the OpenAFS Gatekeepers and developers. The Security Lead
        will maintain an email alias and a signing key for the private
        reporting of security vulernabilities. The Security Lead will
        also maintain a queue in RT into which security issues may be
        tracked. The Assistant Security Leads shall have access to
        this security queue in RT.

        Under the direction of the Security Lead, the Assistants
        shall monitor and respond to issues in the RT queue. Again,
        under the direction of the Security Lead, the Assistants will
        triage privately reported security issues and assist with any
        code and/or protocol fixes.

	The Security Lead and assistants will be appointed by the OpenAFS
	Foundation Board per the by laws of the Foundation. The Security Lead
	may recruit additional informal volunteers for the purposes of
	assisting with OpenAFS security-related matters.
