> : discussion about how to better define expectations on the government side
> : and to institutionalize what type of incidents will be automatically
> : reported to the government, Schmidt said."
> 
> What kind of  incidents should be reported to gov? DDoS done by script
> kiddies don't live in the USA for example?
> 
> Webhosting folks should report the script kiddies using free homepages to
> host trojans?
