What is the first step for joining the CDES?
New customers interested in joining the CDES must first contact their service/agency Cross-Domain Service Organization. Normally a completed and signed Cross Domain Verification and Request (CDVAR) memo and a Phase 1 Cross Domain Appendix (CDA) must be staffed within the requesting organization’s Cross-Domain Service Organization. The Cross Domain Service Organization will then provide guidance on how to submit both documents to the Community Jury to begin the Cross-Domain Process. If you have questions regarding the contents of a CDVAR or CDA, contact IA32 directly and a CDA subject matter expert will gladly provide you with a template of both documents.
