[council] Motion to approve DSSA WG charter

["Gomes, Chuck" <cgomes@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

One of the GNSO's action items in our 8 December Council meeting is to
consider the proposed charter of a community DNS Security & Stability
Analysis WG.  In that regard I am submitting the following motion.

MOTION APPROVING THE DRAFT CHARTER OF THE JOINT DNS SECURITY AND
STABILITY ANALYSIS WORKING GROUP (DSSA-WG)

WHEREAS, at their meetings during the ICANN Brussels meeting in June
2010 the At-Large Advisory Committee (ALAC), the Country Code Names
Supporting Organization (ccNSO), the Generic Names Supporting
Organization (GNSO), the Governmental Advisory Committee (GAC), and the
Number Resource Organization (NRO) acknowledged the need for a better
understanding of the security and stability of the global domain name
system (DNS);

WHEREAS, this issue is considered to be of common interest to the
participating Supporting Organisations (SOs), Advisory Committees (ACs)
and others, and should be preferably undertaken in a collaborative
effort; 

WHEREAS, the ALAC, ccNSO, GNSO and NRO agreed to establish a Joint DNS
Security and Stability Analysis Working Group (DSSA-WG), in accordance
with each organization's own rules and procedures and invite other AC's
to liaise and engage with the DSSA-WG in a manner they consider to be
appropriate;

WHEREAS, a Drafting Team of the Chairs of the ccNSO, the ALAC, and the
GNSO, along with interested representatives from those organizations,
produced a Draft Charter and posted it for the review of the
participating SOs and ACs on 15 November 2010 at
<http://ccnso.icann.org/workinggroups/dssa-draft-charter-12nov10-en.pdf>
;

NOW THEREFORE, BE IT:

RESOLVED, that the GNSO Council approves this Draft Charter and
encourages GNSO constituencies, stakeholder groups, and other GNSO
participants to identify possible participants of the DSSA-WG with
demonstrated expertise in the objectives of the Draft Charter.
