        Responses to National Security (ouncil Questions

                                December I 201C






 The National Infrastructure Advisory Council (NIAC) issued its report and recommendations on
Executive Collaboration for the Nation's Strategic Infrastructure (the Report) in April 2015.

The Report and its recommendations responded to a tasking by the White House in April 2014,
asking the NIAC to study Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and other equivalent decision-maker
engagement. The NIAC was to provide its perspective on a CEO's decision-making role,
contribution to a public-private partnership, benefits and challenges of such engagement, and
criteria for effective sustainability when required. The tasking also asked the NIAC to
recommend a model for CEO-level communication. The NIAC members were given the
following framing questions to develop its recommendations:

     1. What is the role and obligations of the CEO to their institutions and under what
        circumstances would these obligations motivate them to engage actively with the
        shared Critical Infrastructure Security and Resilience (CISR) mission?
     2. What is the framework for mutually productive engagement for the government
        and senior executive decision-makers, such as CEOs, to engage to support the
        shared mission?
     3. What might be effective and persuasive ways to communicate the objectives of the
        National Infrastructure Protection Plan (NIPP) to Senior Executive Decision-Makers,
        such as CEOs, that would motivate them to actively participate in accomplishing the
        NIPP objectives?

To address this task, the NIAC established the CEO Engagement Working Group to collect
perspectives and data, develop findings, and make recommendations to the full NIAC for
consideration. The Working Group took an approach of developing six case studies. CEO
was used as a short-hand for senior executive decision-makers recognizing that the CEO may not
always be the appropriate executive decision-maker for an issue depending on the size and scope
