What content can be marked as public?
The GlobalNET Platform has been created and operated by DSCA under the auspices of the Department of Defense, a branch of the U.S. Government. As such, GlobalNET must adhere to the information disclosure practices as defined by Executive Order (EO)13526 "Classified National Security Information, EO 13800 "Strengthening the Cybersecurity of Federal Networks and Critical Infrastructure" and the Freedom of Information Act.
GlobalNET has designated Organization Managers to control the process of posting publicly accessible information. Organization Managers are trained annually to be aware of what may be considered non-public information, and must carefully review content before making it publicly available.
Specific items that should not be marked "public:"
Information that has been classified in the interest of national security or records properly marked as "For Official Use Only" and protected by FOIA Exemptions 2 through 9 are non-public and prohibited from publicly accessible information systems.
Further, Personally Identifiable Information (PII) must not appear in public documents, with specific exceptions for approved public-facing contacts to be contacted e.g. for more information regarding an event.
Thank you for helping to maintain GlobalNET as a safe place for our members.
