The Policy SIG formulates and promotes FIRST's position on policy and governance matters in an international context. It advocates the values of FIRST and supports policymakers with factual information, enabling them to understand the needs of incident responders and the importance of global cooperation in securing cyberspace. The SIG promotes FIRST initiatives, but does not lobby. SIG members can, with the approval of the board, represent FIRST in relevant meetings to promote FIRST's position and values. The SIG formulates and documents FIRST's policy position and maintains the FIRST policymaker training.
