CENTRIC DIPLOMACY
1. (U) Summary: There has been intense interest
recently from the interagency community in ways that the
Department can facilitate access to public affairs
reporting on the classified networks. A simple method
of sharing these cable-based reports with the classified
networks is through the use of the SIPDIS caption, which
automatically publishes them to the Department's Net-
Centric Diplomacy (NCD) system
( http://ncd.state.sgov.gov/ ). In order to facilitate
the sharing of this information with the broader
interagency community, we request that all posts begin
adding the SIPDIS caption to their media reaction
reporting and all other public affairs cables that would
be appropriate for sharing with the interagency
community.
--------------
Background
--------------
2. (U) Net-Centric Diplomacy and the SIPDIS (for SIPRNet
Distribution) caption were created in 2005 as a tool to
streamline the publishing of diplomatic reporting to the
interagency community on the Secret and Top Secret
networks. Since 2005, more than 175,000 cables have
been web published to these networks by posts and
offices who have applied the SIPDIS caption to their
outgoing messages. Most posts have been doing an
excellent job of sharing their political and economic
reporting via this method, but some posts have expressed
confusion as to how the SIPDIS caption applies to
unclassified reporting, including media reporting
prepared by public affairs sections and submitted by
cable.
3. (U) The SIPDIS caption may be applied to any cable
appropriate for interagency sharing up to the
Secret//NOFORN level, including unclassified messages.
Your public diplomacy reporting, especially press
reporting, is an invaluable resource to analysts and
policymakers in the interagency community, many of whom
work solely on the classified networks. Although these
messages are routinely routed to other agencies via the
traditional messaging systems, many department and
interagency officers have expressed frustration in
accessing and finding reporting through these channels.
NCD provides a common, searchable, web-based, platform
for the entire USG community to locate your valuable
reporting.
--------------
Action Request
--------------
4. (U) The Department requests that all posts begin
adding the SIPDIS caption to all appropriate public
diplomacy-related reporting sent in by cable, including
all media reports and press summaries. We greatly
appreciate your cooperation.

Diplomacy program can be found on ClassNet at
