SUPPORTING STATEMENT - PART A
GlobalNET User Registration – 0704-0558
Summary of Changes from Previously Approved Collection
|
1. Need for the Information Collection
10 U.S.C. 134, Under Secretary of Defense for Policy; DoD Directive 5101.1, DoD Executive Agent, Section 5.2.7; DoD Directive 5105.65, Defense Security Cooperation Agency (DSCA), Section 5.n; DoD Directive 5132.03, DoD Policy and Responsibilities Relating to Security Cooperation; and DoD Directive 5200.41, DoD Centers for Regional Centers for Security Studies, Section 3.1.
GlobalNET collects information on students in order to allow them to share information with peers, faculty, and regional center personnel. GlobalNET is the official DSCA system for performing alumni outreach, facilitating alumnus/professor communication and peer-to-peer communications (or social networking). The system was initiated by PDB 704-004 Regional International Outreach for DSCA signed December 2, 2003:
The USD(P) requested funding to initiate a Regional International Outreach (RIO) effort at the National Defense University (NDU), in coordination with the Defense Security Cooperative Agency (DSCA), that will expand on the Partnership for Peace (PfP) Information Management System (PIMS), JFCOM’s Regional Security Cooperation Network (RSCN), and the NDU outreach programs in support of the Defense Planning Guidance related to focused security cooperation. The Alternative funds a new program with a management office and activities at NDU that, in coordination with DSCA, leverages Joint Professional Military Education and training initiatives and information technology to enhance co-development of U.S. and alliance international educational content in support of international partners, Theater Security Cooperation Programs, individual Ambassador Plans, and regional civilian-military outreach.
DSCA was given the management of the system on Aug 23, 2005 through an Information Memo I-05/010987-STRAT signed by PDUSP Ryan Henry:
DSCA will act as lead agent to ensure coordination with OUSD(P) and provide requirements and guidance for implementing the GlobalNET site. DSCA will assign a program manager for matters associated with implementation of the RIO suite. DSCA will maintain a configuration control process for the technical aspects of the RIO program.
Furthermore, DSCA was assigned as the Executive Agent for the regional centers for Security Studies through Information Memorandum 19340-05. Per responsibilities of the executive agent, DSCA shall:
“5.2.6. Obtain reports and information, consistent with DoD Directive 8910.1 (reference (f)), as necessary, to carry out assigned DoD Executive Agent responsibilities, functions, and authorities.
5.2.7. Establish, maintain, and preserve information as records, consistent with DoD Directive 5015.2.”
DSCA collects information in support of each of these directions.
2. Use of the Information
Any user and/or student requesting a GlobalNET account is required to complete an online request via the GlobalNET website. Users consist of International or DoD government/contractor personnel, students, and professors. The information collected will be used by alumni outreach personnel, alumnus, professors, and peers for outreach and collaboration and to create the account. Users can search of expertise, course information, name, or country. Mandatory information consists of given name, family name, email address and country of residence. If the information is not provided, the user will not be able to establish a GlobalNET account. Other profile information can be included consisting of but not limited to education, work history, and contact information. This information is voluntary and users have the ability to identify what information he/she wants to share.
3. Use of Information Technology
GlobalNET is a web based application and collects 100% of its information electronically. Users complete the user registration form online and no physical documents/papers are collected for use. The profile data is used in order to create a GlobalNET account. The information within the user profile is also used as part of the user profile and can be shared with other users who have a GlobalNET account. Users outside of GlobalNET do not have access to profile information for other users.
4. Non-duplication
The information obtained through this collection is unique and is not already available for use or adaptation from another cleared source.
5. Burden on Small Businesses
This information collection does not impose a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small businesses or entities.
6. Less Frequent Collection
The collection of the information is voluntary and is not collected on any specific frequency. Failure to provide minimal information for the user registration form could result in the individual not receiving a GlobalNET account.
7. Paperwork Reduction Act Guidelines
This collection of information does not require collection to be conducted in a manner inconsistent with the guidelines delineated in 5 CFR 1320.5(d)(2).

Appropriate software controls such as role based access controls (RBAC), username and password requirements commensurate with DoD policies, and physical controls to the physical servers.
