| 1:15pm - 4:00pm | Industry Perspective Working Groups | ||||||||||||||
| The working groups are an opportunity for industry and government to partner on global issues, congressional mandates, and executive decisions that upset the equilibrium between safety, security, commerce and the environment. As an example: Does 100% cargo screening as mandated by the Safe Port Act of 2006 create an unachievable goal and provides very little value to security but heavily impacts commerce? What is the right balance? What is the right risk? Does an amendment to the Safe Port Act need to be initiated? This is just one example and a question bank of fifteen to twenty questions has been provided by maritime stakeholders that will help "chart the course" for the right balance. (Please see attached questions and working group room location). | |||||||||||||||

| The Global Maritime Information Sharing Symposium (GMISS) is an opportunity for open and frank discourse between government and industry. It facilitates a venue for the global maritime community of interest to come together for the free exchange of ideas. This session will include five flag-level US government officials who will participate in an unrehearsed discussion on MDA. The two hour session will consist of five minute opening statements from each participant, followed by a questions and answers time with GMISS attendees. The flag panel will offer GMISS attendees the opportunity to converse with senior US government officials, examine the previous two days' finding, and express viewpoints to the panel. Rather than through filtered and watered down channels, senior USG leadership will hear directly the problems that the maritime industry is confronted with as the USG continuously strives for the right balance between safety, security, commerce, and environment. | |||||||||||||||
