Re: what text is being sent to researchers re: OSS assignments?

["Landfield, Kent B" <kent.b.landfield@intel.com>]

Can we please post this to the appropriate place? If you have an issue 
with this decision that the Board actively discussed, please as the 
question there.  There is no reason to cross-post every message to both 
lists.  This was a swim lane issue discussed by the Board and also 
discussed at the face-to-face meeting we had in Rockville, MD in 
November.

        I submitted my CVE request through Mitre who notified me that 
open
        source software CVE requests are now processed via the 
Distributed
        Weakness Filing before being sent to Mitre for inclusion in 
their
        database.
    
    This creates an obvious disconnect and potentially duplicate 
assignments 
    and confusion, if researchers are being told to go to DWF for *all* 
OSS 
    assignments. For example, Apache is a CNA and has many OSS 
projects, but 
    vulnerabilities in their software should go to them, not DWF. Could 
MITRE 
    share the text that is being sent out currently?
