USC CTM Response on Social Media and CR

"I don’t think you will see, nor would it be a good development, standards for structure, content of social media. However, security issues, which is the one that triggered your original question, will most definitely generate demand for standards. Whether those turn out to be industry proposed, which is what is happening in finance industry when it comes to cyber security, or government imposed, which some in Congress argue for, or imposed through third parties such as auditing community remains to be seen. CTM’s sister institute, ICIIP (Institute for Critical Information Infrastructure Protection) has developed one model for such standards, Systemic Security Management, which is being actively reviewed by one of the leading international auditing communities."

The organization you refer to is TOWN HALL LOS ANGELES, not Los Angeles' Town Hall. Thank you!

Thank you, you are correct - http://www.townhall-la.org/. However, in the context of the biography, the expression is that it's the Town Hall that belongs to Los Angeles. The exact name of the Town Hall wasn't being used.
