Dear Martin and Jordi

As you know I am putting together a draft BC comment on the ICANN 2012-2015 strategic plan

http://www.icann.org/en/strategic-plan/draft-strategic-plan-2012-2015-redline-03oct11-en.pdf

I was wondering if you had any comments or thoughts on these two  para on page 7

Coordinate DNS globalEnhance risk management and resiliency of the three unique identifiers. This is an area where ICANN’s efforts will directly influence the improvement of the overall DNS and other unique identifiers (IP, AS numbers, ports & parameters) security and stability through international participation in continuity exercises, training and emergency simulations. ICANN will coordinate improved global DNS risk management through registry and registrar continuity planning and performance of business interruption simulation exercises. ICANN will work with others to protect the integrity of the global DNS through initiatives such as training for TLD operators. ICANN will also encourage collaboration with the global computer security and incident response community to improve and seek to promote work in the community to develop BCP and testing to address risks and threats. ICANN will seek to work with others to develop objective risk management models.

Improve responses to DNS security incidents. Security threats to the Internet continue to increase and with this increase comes the need for improvements in the processes and systems organizations use to respond to security incidents. ICANN will continue the program for annual DNS risk assessment and systemic contingency planning and work with the community to develop effective and efficient methods of response to DNS security incidents. ICANN will support the formation and planning efforts of a new working group on DNS risk management. ICANN will also help initiate a DNS risk management study with community and outside experts.
