Some of the topics of discussion included:

--How do the events of the last week (Google/China, Sec. Clinton's speech) change priorities for cybersecurity?
--What's Congress's role in cybersecurity oversight, and how could it change to improve security?
--Does the cybersecurity workforce exist that's required to execute the government's need?
--How does government need to work with the private sector and academia in this area?
--How should the administration balance cybersecurity and privacy with its goals for openness and transparency?
