Dear Colleagues, please find below my report. I apologize for not being able to attend today's ALAC Monthly meeting. Have a nice day! Best, Matthias General: Planning for ICANN 85 has begun, and the SSAC is in the process of reaching out to various community groups to explore participation in a cross-community plenary session (ICANN 85: Plenary on Internet Resilience to Survivability). The support and perspectives of ALALC would be greatly appreciated. The proposal is as follows: _Title: From Stability to Survivability: ICANN's Role in the Future of Internet Resilience_ _Goal: Shift the community mindset from technical stability--keeping the DNS running--to strategic resilience--ensuring the Internet ecosystem survives inevitable shocks across power, regulation, software supply chains, and third-party dependencies._ _Drawing on our SAC132 work, the session will highlight four systemic resilience challenges that no single part of the community fully controls:_ * _Increasing system complexity_ * _Underinvestment in preventive measures_ * _Intensifying regulatory pressures_ * _Software supply-chain vulnerabilities_ _The focus is not on explaining how the Internet works, but on exploring what happens when external systems fail--and what role ICANN and its community should play._ Publications: There are presently no new publications available. Ongoing work parties: * DNSSEC Operational Considerations Work Party * Responsible Integration of External Technologies into the DNS * DNS Abuse and Artificial Intelligence Upcoming Work Parties: * DNS Transparency SSAC Membership Applications: The Membership Selection Committee has completed its selection. The selected members have been accepted by the SSAC members and will now be forwarded to the Board for final approval.
