The council is a public body for purposes of section 121.22
of the Revised Code. In addition to the exceptions specified in
division (G) of section 121.22 of the Revised Code, and in
accordance with the procedures specified in that division, the

operations with existing resources and through partnerships
between government, business, and institutions of higher
education;
(2) Specific actions that would accelerate growth of the
cybersecurity industry in the state.
(H) No later than December 31, 2012, the council shall submit
a report of the council's findings to the governor, lieutenant
