Jericho Forum

Jericho Forum

The Jericho Forum is a group of organizations working together to define and promote the solutions surrounding the issue of De-perimeterisation. It was officially founded at the offices of the Open Group in Reading, UK, on Friday 16th January 2004. It had existed as a loose affiliation of interested corporate CISOs discussing the topic since the summer of 2003.

It was created because the founding members claimed that no one else was appropriately discussing the problems surrounding de-perimeterisation. They felt the need to create a forum to define and solve consistently such issues.

The Jericho Forum consists of "user members" and "vendor members", however only user members are allowed to stand for election. The current board (March 2008) is (in alphabetical order); Nick Bleech (Rolls Royce), David McCaskill (Procter & Gamble), John Meakin (Standard Chartered Bank), Adrian Seccombe (Eli Lilly), Paul Simmonds (ICI), Shane Tully (Co-opted), Steve Whitlock (Boeing), Andrew Yeomans (Dresdner Kleinwort). There is no "chair" or president: the board votes by majority, and the day-to-day management is provided by the Open Group.

While the Jericho Forum had its foundations in the UK, nearly all the initial members worked for corporates and had global responsibilities. Today there is user organisation involvement from the Europe, North America and Asia Pacific. There is vendor involvement from the Europe & North America and academic involvement from the Europe & Asia Pacific.

Vendors have shown an increasing willingness to listen to the user community, but in the absence of a coherent voice from the end-users themselves, may have been uncertain about to whom they should be listening. As long as Jericho [Forum] can continue to build upon its foundations and successfully integrate vendor input into its ongoing strategies, then we see no reason why this community should not become a strong and valuable voice in the years ahead.”

Jericho’s approach touches on domains like digital rights management, network quality of service, and business partner risk management.”
