Really fun panel on cislunar security here at #OS25- it's long bugged me that there aren't fora for multilateral lunar security issues so I hope that we can do this again. Thanks to Antonino Salmeri, Zhao Yun, Martina Elia Vitoloni, and Louisa Handel-Mazzetti for a great discussion

Presumably TraCSSwill take on this role but a) TraCSS got zeroed out in the most recent budget request - not sure about its future; b) this transition is not complete; seems like a bad idea to have the single biggest op'r not included in the official US cat
