What discussions do you vaguely speak of? nsp-sec? nsp-sec BoF
@ NANOG? FIRST? it-scc.org? commscc.org? IT-ISAC? NCS? the ITU-D
Cybersecurity stuff? NSTAC? There's all sorts of forums that relate
to security that are defined by different criteria or self-selecting.

I think it'd discussed at NANOG and even has it's own BoF. Without
you providing more context of what you mean, it's hard to say.
