# Automation SIG chapter proposal
## Goals & Deliverables
Our aims therefore are to:
* Provide a forum where members active in the field of Incidence Response (IR) automation can exchange best practices.
* Compile this exchange of kowledge - in the SIG, write a common best practices document for automation in the the context of incidence response (IR)
* Compile a list of tools for automation in IR including their focus areas
* Host at least three meetings per year, one being at the FIRST annual conference and another two (usually virtual) meetings around February and September;
* Disseminate best practices in term of CSIRT organisation to support automation needs;
* Identifying ways to provide agile and effective automation;
* Cooperate with other similar regional and global initiatives/groups – e.g. IHAP group, GÉANT TF-CSIRT...
* Interact and collaborate with other FIRST SIGs in areas of common interest.
