i'm hearing "DNS CERT II, the Sequel" from other quarters. i worry that this will be too theoretical to deal with anything as pressing or difficult as name-collisions. and i see no connection whatsoever with the community. mikey On Oct 17, 2013, at 10:21 AM, Tony Holmes <tonyarholmes@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Good question. > I can envisage how this will improve the ability to deal with broad cyber security threats, but like I’m unclear whether it will directly impact some of the DNS security issues that are currently dealt with closer to ICANN. > Tony > > From: owner-ispcp@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:owner-ispcp@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of WUKnoben > Sent: 17 October 2013 15:34 > To: ispcp@xxxxxxxxx > Subject: [ispcp] Fw: [Soac-infoalert] Fwd: [policy] Fwd: Indian Center for DNS SecurityAnnounced > > FYI. > > How will this get connected with the community needs, e.g. re name collisions? > > Best regards > > Wolf-Ulrich > > > From: David Olive > Sent: Thursday, October 17, 2013 8:38 AM > To: soac-infoalert@xxxxxxxxx > Subject: [Soac-infoalert] Fwd: [policy] Fwd: Indian Center for DNS SecurityAnnounced > > > > > <~WRD000.jpg> > > FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE > > 17 October 2013 > > > > Indian Center for DNS Security Announced > > ICANN and CDAC will launch research center to thwart security threats to Domain Name System > > > > New Delhi, India… ICANN today announced, in partnership with the Center for Development of Advanced Computing (CDAC), plans to coordinate on the creation of a Center of Excellence in Domain Name System Security in India. > > The Center of Excellence is anticipated to work alongside ICANN security staff to design research projects intended to solve critical Domain Name System (DNS) security issues, such as thwarting cyber attacks.

To reach another person on the Internet you have to type an address into your computer - a name or a number. That address has to be unique so computers know where to find each other. ICANN coordinates these unique identifiers across the world. Without that coordination we wouldn't have one global Internet. ICANN was formed in 1998. It is a not-for-profit public-benefit corporation with participants from all over the world dedicated to keeping the Internet secure, stable and interoperable. It promotes competition and develops policy on the Internet’s unique identifiers. ICANN doesn’t control content on the Internet. It cannot stop spam and it doesn’t deal with access to the Internet. But through its coordination role of the Internet’s naming system, it does have an important impact on the expansion and evolution of the Internet.
