Committee Charter

Committee Members

  • Chair: Shannon Brewster, CISSP

The Bylaws Committee was established by the Board of Directors to:

  1. Review the bylaws, including proposals received from the CEO, board, committees or other stakeholders, and make appropriate recommendations to the board and membership, as necessary.
  2. Draft the language of proposed bylaw revisions for consideration by the board and, ultimately, the membership.
  3. Assist in the interpretation of the bylaws as needed.

We Heard You. Thank You. 

After hearing from Members, we have closed the current survey to make it better. It became clear that more context and background information is needed before we ask you to weigh in on these important questions.

To be clear: the Bylaws Committee has not reached predetermined conclusions. Our intent is to gather Member feedback to help determine what amendments, if any, should be recommended to the Board. Your input matters, and we want to make sure the next survey reflects that.

To those who participated, thank you. Your feedback is being carefully reviewed, and the results will be shared with the membership. Your responses will continue to inform and guide this work. We appreciate the feedback from Members, volunteers, and past Directors to better inform this process.

We are partnering with additional Members to develop foundational material including FAQs and supporting articles so that the information we’re providing you is clear. The survey itself will also be redesigned as part of this process.

We are committed to a thoughtful and transparent process and appreciate your patience. A new survey will be launched once this work is complete.

Further updates will be shared on the Bylaws Committee Page as this work progresses. 

Thank you for being part of this process.

Shannon Brewster,
Bylaws Committee Chair, ISC2 Board of Directors
