CNMCyber standup

A CNM Cyber standup (hereinafter, the Standup) is any CNM Cyber event that is a stand-up meeting (or simply standup) of stakeholders of CNM Cyber such as members of CNM Cyber Team and Friends Of CNM in which attendees typically participate while standing. The discomfort of standing for long periods is intended to keep the Standups short.
