Motivating Synchronized Release

CVD
...
process
...
discussions
...
tend
...
to
...
focus
...
on
...
the
...
handling
...
of
...
individual
...
vulnerability
...
cases
...
rather
...
than
...
the
...
social
...
fabric
...
surrounding
...
vulnerability
...
coordination
...
we
...
construct
...
over

time.

Shifting

away
...
from
...
the
...
individual
...
units
...
of
...
work
...
to
...
the
...
social
...
structure
...
can
...
suggest
...
a
...
way
...
out
...
of
...
some
...
of
...
the
...
more
...
contentious
...
points
...
in
...
any
...
given
...
case.
...
We
...
previously
...
described
...
the
...
multiparty
...
delay

problem.
...
Game
...
theory
...
provides
...
us
...
with
...
the
...
prisoners'
...
dilemma
...
as
...
model
...
for
...
thinking
...
about
...
this
...
concern.
...
The
...
main
...
takeaway
...
from
...
research
...
into
...
the
...
prisoners'
...
dilemma
...
is
...
that
...
by
...
shifting
...
one's
...
perspective
...
to
...
considering
...
a
...
repeated
...
game,
...
it's
...
possible
...
to
...
find
...
better
...
solutions
...
than
...
would
...
be
...
possible
...
in
...
a
...
one-shot
...
game
...
with
...
no
...
history.
...
The
...
recognition
...
that
...
it's
...
a
...
repeated
...
game
...
leads
...
to
...
improved
...
cooperation
...
among
...
players
...
who
...
would
...
otherwise
...
be
...
motivated
...
to
...
act
...
solely
...
in
...
their
...
own
...
self-interest
...
in
...
each
...
round
...
[1].
...
One
...
approach
...
we've
...
found
...
to
...
work
...
is
...
to
...
remind
...
the
...
parties
...
involved
...
that
...
this
...
will
...
likely
...
not
...
be
...
the
...
last
...
multiparty
...
vulnerability
...
coordination
...
effort
...
in
...
which
...
they
...
find
...
themselves.
...
A
...
vendor
...
that
...
repeatedly
...
releases
...
early
...
will
...
likely
...
get
...
left
...
out
...
of
...
future
...
coordination
...
efforts.
...
Because
...
of
...
this,
...
the
...
quicker
...
vendors
...
might
...
be
...
motivated
...
to
...
delay
...
so
...
they
...
get
...
the
...
vulnerability
...
information
...
the
...
next
...
time.
...
Perhaps
...
most
...
important
...
for
...
those
...
wanting
...
to
...
release
...
early
...
is
...
to
...
remember
...
that
...
this
...
is
...
a
...
repeated
...
game;
...
you
...
might
...
be
...
first
...
one
...
ready
...
to
...
publish
...
this
...
time
...
but
...
that
...
may
...
not
...
always
...
be
...
the
...
case.
...
Consideration
...
for
...
the
...
other
...
parties
...
involved
...
in
...
any
...
given
...
case
...
can
...
yield
...
better
...
outcomes
...
in
...
the
...
long
...
run.
...
In
...
the
...
end,
...
everyone
...
benefits
...
from
...
vendors
...
improving
...
their
...
vulnerability
...
response
...
processes,
...
so
...
helping
...
the
...
laggards
...
become
...
more
...
efficient
...
can
...
sometimes
...
become
...
a
...
secondary
...
goal
...
of
...
the
...
coordination
...
process.
