Importance: High

 

I forwarded the following message to the Council the yesterday and added the
topic to our agenda for our meeting under Other Business.  Unfortunately, as
we ran out of time, I failed to cover it.  My intent was to simply ask if
anyone objected to considering the formation of a WG as described by Chris
and if not, to request volunteers to start working on a possible charter
with volunteers from the ccNSO.  So I will ask those questions now:

 

1.       Does anyone object to considering the formation of such a WG?  Note
that we would not make an official decision to support such a WG until after
we see a draft charter.  If anyone objects, please communicate your
objection not later than next Wednesday, 16 June.

2.       Assuming there is no opposition, who would like to volunteer for
the charter drafting team?  Note that this is not a request for volunteers
for what might eventually be a WG, but only for a charter DT.

Regarding question 2, there have already been some volunteers in response to
my message yesterday:

 

.         Terry Davis (NCA)

.         Rafik Damik (NCSG)

.         Greg Aaron (RySG, Afilias)

.         Kathy Kleiman (RySG, PIR)

.         Keith Drazek (RySG, VeriSign).

If anyone else wants to volunteer, please communicate your interest on this
list not later than next Wednesday, 16 June.  We will then communicate the
names and contact information to the ccNSO.

 

Thanks, Chuck

Chuck,

 

In our conversation last week we discussed the possibility of the gNSO and
ccNSO (along with other relevant ACs and independent experts) setting up the
working group contemplated in the joint Chair's letter to ICANN of 25 March
2010 as soon as possible. 

 

I put this proposal to the ccNSO council on our call of 8 June and confirm
that the council has agreed that in the event of the proposal also being
agreed by the gNSO council, a small joint drafting team should work before
Brussels to draft the charter for the establishment of a Working Group
comprising representatives of ICANN's Security and Stability Advisory
Committee, Root Server System Advisory Committee, GAC, ALAC, CERT operators
and ccTLD and gTLD managers to draw upon their collective expertise and to
solicit their input on:

.         the broad concept of a DNS-CERT;

.         the current work being undertaken to mitigate DNS-related threats;

.         the actual level, frequency and severity of these threats;

.         the gaps (if any) in the current security response to DNS issues;

.         whether or not a DNS-CERT is a proposal they support; and

.         if so, the logistics of the proposal.

The goal would be to have the charter approved by the ccNSO and gNSO in
Brussels if possible so that we can announce the formation of the working
group. I'm guessing that formally the working group will need to be a joint
gNSO ccNSO group (as the 2 relevant supporting organisations that can
actually make policy) with the charter mandating the involvement of the
relevant ACs and outside experts. 

 

In the event that the gNSO council does approve the proposal then the action
items will be a) to call for some volunteers to do the drafting along with
Bart Boswinkel as ccNSO staff and an equivalent gNSO person and b) to
approach the other ACs to inform them that this is occurring.

 

I understand your council meets on 10 June 2010 and look forward to hearing
from you regarding your discussions.

 

Cheers,
