by ICANN At-Large Staff June 5, 2014

June 5, 2014

Reminder: Monthly GNSO WG Newcomer Open House Session These ongoing monthly sessions are for new GNSO WG participants to come together and discuss any questions they may have about GNSO Working Groups, procedures and/or processes. We know there is a lot of information to digest when you join a GNSO Working Group and these monthly meetings are an opportunity for newcomers and more experienced participants to meet in an informal setting without the pressure of "real work" that needs be done. The agenda is flexible. The presenters will be ready with a standard set of materials if people would like to discuss them. Feel free to submit questions, either in advance or at the beginning of the meeting, if there is a topic that you would like to explore in more depth . Providing useful answers to a wide range of questions is part of the reason why these meetings are Thursday 8 May at 20.00 UTC Thursday 5 June at 12.00 UTC Thursday 3 July at 20.00 UTC Thursday 7 August at 12.00 UTC Thursday 4 September at 20.00 UTC Thursday 2 October at 12.00 UTC Thursday 6 November at 20.00 UTC Thursday 4 December at 12.00 UTC To convert to your local time zone, please see http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/converter.html. If you are interested to join the next meeting on 8 May or any of the future meetings, please let the GNSO Secretariat know (gnso-secs(a)icann.org<mailto:gnso-secs@icann.org>) and we will send you the call details. If there are any specific questions you already have, or any overviews or introductions you think would be helpful (e.g. GNSO Policy Development Process or GNSO Working Group guidelines), please let us know in advance and we will prepare materials accordingly. Feel free to share this invitation with others that you think may be interested. We look forward to welcoming you at the next meeting! Nathalie Peregrine GNSO Secretariat

ICANN News Alert -- ICANN Registrar Contact Information Database (RADAR) Password Reset
by ICANN At-Large Staff May 29, 2014

May 29, 2014

[http://www.icann.org/images/gradlogo_bow.jpg]<http://www.icann.org/> News Alert https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2-2014-05-28-en ________________________________ ICANN Registrar Contact Information Database (RADAR) Password Reset 28 May 2014 ICANN has taken its registrar contact information database (RADAR) offline temporarily. This action was taken as a precautionary measure after it was learned that an unauthorized party viewed data in the system. ICANN has found no evidence of any unauthorized changes to the data in the system. Although the vulnerability has been corrected, RADAR will remain offline until a thorough review of the system is completed. ICANN's logs indicate that the data that was accessed in this incident included usernames, email addresses, and hashed passwords. While no actual unencrypted passwords were taken, it is possible for a malicious person with enough computing power to reverse a hashed password, particularly a simple or common one. ICANN has uncovered no evidence that any RADAR accounts were accessed using compromised credentials. All RADAR login credentials have been reset and registrar end-users have been notified. We apologize for the inconvenience this situation may cause. ICANN is committed to ongoing improvements in security procedures and systems. Registrars requiring additional information should contact registrar(a)icann.org<mailto:registrar@icann.org>.
