Subject: GNSO and Constituency Input on HSTLD and ZFA Advisory Group Materials

Dear GNSO Councilors and Constituency Members,

The HSTLD (High Security TLD) and ZFA (Zone File Access) Advisory Groups seek 
your input by 8 April on their respective papers that were posted for public 
comment on 22 February. The papers and comment forum information are available 
at http://www.icann.org/en/announcements/announcement-22feb10-en.htm. Further, 
ICANN staff supporting these groups are available upon request to provide you 
with a brief presentation about the work. Please feel free to contact Craig 
Schwartz at craig.schwartz@xxxxxxxxx<mailto:craig.schwartz@xxxxxxxxx> to 
schedule a ZFA presentation or Andy Welch at 
andy.welch@xxxxxxxxx<mailto:andy.welch@xxxxxxxxx> for a HSTLD presentation.

The work of these temporary, expert Advisory Groups is being done to develop 
solution(s) to the new gTLD program’s overarching issue of mitigating malicious 
conduct. These groups were formed following the 3 December 2009 announcement 
(see, http://www.icann.org/en/announcements/announcement-03dec09-en.htm) 
soliciting participants.

Additional information on HSTLD may be found at 
http://www.icann.org/en/topics/new-gtlds/hstld-program-en.htm and ZFA at

Thank you,

Craig Schwartz
