All,

  Seems to me that this is an area that ICANN could if it has
the horses, to throw it's hat into the ring and compete.  But
possibly such would be more than it's questionably vaunted
SSAC can bite off and chew.  After all ICANN has continually
demonstrated that it has significant trouble keeping it's own
DN properly configured not to mention keeping it's own
web pages up to date.  I suppose that official bloviating creating
megalithic beauracracies and meeting/travel junkets are more along
ICANN's areas of expertise...

The US National Coordination Office for Networking Information
Technology Research and Development has published a notice in the
Federal Register seeking industry submissions of research concepts that
will be "game-changing" in the efforts to protect government systems
from cyber attacks.  Submissions will be accepted through April 15,
2009.  The request is part of the National Cyber Leap Year phase of the
Comprehensive National Cybersecurity Initiative.
