Eireann,

I don't think the size of the country matters much. 

Australia is nearly as big as the USA and we have a very similar system here  to CPNI (TISN). You do have a lot more people so the scale of the task of communicating effectively in the community is more the question and seems to be one issue at hand whenever I talk with people in the USA . 

With standards, there are already a number in either IEC / ISO (27000 or 17799) that are good approaches. Germany has their own set of standards as well if you are looking for more of an EU flavour. 

We don't hear too much from either the UK or European Union Nations as to what they are doing in public forums which is a shame. I am certain that there are a lot of good things happening?

If you have any influence in government policy circles, look at their model, I think it is working very well. Their information sharing networks have produced a lot of inter-business trust on best practices (despite being competitors). This has a better influence on security culture and changing vendors than I think CIP will. Don't get me wrong, CIP is a good standard to hang the culture of off, but I think CPNI's networks are promoting a longer lasting culture. Of course that's only possible because we're a smaller country...

I know there are more non-American readers out there, and I hope there will be a little less lurking by us in the future. Not that we're not interested in the American perspective, and all the good work being done by the INL, Sandia, and others. Just that we need a little 'airtime' of our own on this side of the Atlantic.
