  Well, according to this text artefact, tihs can be many different things.

  From 
  - putting a headline to an activity which every responsible organisation
    should undertake (to have a security role and to reasonably interact
    with other instances of such roles),
  to
  - trying to do things which others are doing already.

  Questions:
  1) can we have a more elaborate description from the NCC of what
     activities are expected to be performed under this headline?

  2) is there any WG which could be polled or which has "adopted" this
     activity for definition and development (or is expected to do so)?

  Answers to these Qs would make it much easier for me to be in favor or
  against :-)
