[Olivier.Guillard@nic.fr: IANA WG conf call]
by Olivier.Guillard＠nic.fr March 4, 2009

March 4, 2009

Dear Councillor Colleagues, the IANA WG had an audio conf, with the following agenda : 1/ Mexico : 2/ Future of the IANA WG See below the report about that audio conf. I had no new input from anyone. Therefore : 1/ I now ask Gabi to withdraw the room that was reserved on monday morning, and I also cancel of course the IANA WG meeting : 2/ I will prepare one (or two) slides by monday to report about IANA WG activity since Paris meeting, and will recommend the closure of the IANA WG (unless anybody voices against, in that case please provide your arguments). Best, --- Olivier ----- Forwarded message from Olivier.Guillard(a)nic.fr ----- From: Olivier.Guillard(a)nic.fr Subject: IANA WG conf call To: ccnso-iana-wg(a)icann.org Date: Wed, 25 Feb 2009 17:12:27 +0100 Hi everyone, we just had our IANA WG call with Bart, Kim, Shinta and myself. Here is the result of our chat : 1/ Mexico : Shinta and Myself will not be in Mexico. I had no input from anyone about particular topics that one would like to see adressed by the IANA Working Group. However, there is a room reserved on Monday 2nd for the IANA WG (between 11:00 and 12:30). I will suggest to cancel this monday meeting, unless any IANA WG member ask (by tommorrow) for this room and slot to stay reserved. 2/ Future of the IANA WG I will draft one (two ?) slide about the activity in the IANA working group over the past few months. Considering precisely this activity Shinta and myself we beleive that the closure of the WG should be recommended : I will suggest that, unless anybody suggest otherwise (in that case, please provide your arguments). At the end of the day, that will be up to the ccNSO to decide about next step anyway. Additionally, note that since my term as a Councillor stops at the Mexico meeting, I will formally also resign from my position as a Chair of the IANA WG (unless a real -and unexpected- need was required temporarly to ensure a wished transition). Best, -- Olivier ----- End forwarded message ----- -- -- Olivier

IDN ccTLDs should be similarly treated as ASCII ccTLDs. . A documented relationship between ICANN and IDN ccTLD operators should be kept voluntary. .

I would support a somewhat clearer statement about complying with the technical standard. Of course, talk (with cc operators or government) is better than precipitous action. But I think it is entirely legitimate for ICANN to reserve the right to act in the event that someone's failure to comply with IDNA is creating stability or security issues that can't be resolved in a timely fashion. Seems to me that a reservation by ICANN avoids the "legal and political" issues cited by Bill Dee. ________________________________ From: owner-ccnso-council(a)icann.org To: ccNSO Council ; ccNSO Members Sent: Tue Mar 03 16:31:40 2009 Subject: [ccnso-council] agreements and money - idn cctlds All, Below are the relevant words from the GAC.

by Denise Michel March 3, 2009

March 3, 2009

Greetings. The main session of "e-Crime and Abuse of the DNS Forum: a global perspective" scheduled for Wednesday, March 4, 14:00-18:00 in Don-Alberto 2-4 (Main Room), will be scribed, and the transcript and all presentations will be publicly posted at <http://mex.icann.org/node/2653>. Included below and attached in Word is an updated agenda. I know that overlapping meetings have been scheduled and not all interested community members will be able to attend the Forum, but rest assured that all available information will be publicly posted, including the results of the break-out sessions. Regards, Denise Denise Michel ICANN Vice President Policy Development ----------------------------------- e-Crime and Abuse of the DNS Forum: a global perspective Organized by ICANN Staff in Cooperation with the At-Large Summit Wednesday, March 4 14:00-18:00 Hotel Sheraton Centro Historico Don-Alberto 2-4 Conference Room The Forum will provide participants with an opportunity to discuss numerous global activities and issues related to e-Crime and DNS abuse that involve a broad array of international stakeholders. While not all of these issues fall within ICANN's narrow mission, the Forum is intended to facilitate public dialogue and working relationships on e-Crime and DNS abuse among members of the global Internet community, as requested by the ICANN community. Welcome Alejandro Pisanty (former Director, ICANN Board; National University of Mexico) Time: 14:00 – 14:10 Alejandro Pisanty will provide an introduction to the Forum including its format, aims, and objectives. Session 1. The e-Crime Landscape (Time: 14:10 – 15:03) Moderator: Cheryl Langdon-Orr (Chair, At-Large Advisory Committee) (14:10-14:13) Panel: Beau Brendler (Consumer Reports WebWatch Project); Fred Felman (MarkMonitor); and Jeffrey Bedser (Internet Crimes Group) Introduction to E-Crime (20 minutes) (14:13 – 14:33) Beau Brendler will provide an overview of the manner in which e-Crime affects consumers as well as discuss activities that aim to educate the public regarding e-Crime risks. Fred Felman will review recent e-Crime trends, and highlight types of harms to end-users. Sizing and Scoping e-Crime (20 minutes) (14:33-14:53) Jeffrey Bedser will describe the e-Crime ecosystem and explain how organized crime uses the Internet and the DNS to facilitate criminal acts against end-users. Jeffrey will also discuss emerging legal efforts that focus on protecting end-users against Internet-based crime. Jeffrey will use the results of extensive attack traffic, DNS, and domain name data analysis to illustrate that e-Crime is able to exploit resources from virtually any user and provider in the global Internet. He will describe how criminal attack network activity is distinguished from legitimate (production) traffic. Jeffrey will also show the hotspots for bot and malware activity and where domain names are used to abet e-crime are registered. Audience Questions (10 minutes) (14:53-15:03) Session 2. Criminal Attacks and Abuse Response Today (Time: 15:03-16:11) Moderator: Greg Rattray (Chief Internet Security Advisor, ICANN) Time: 15:03 – 15:06 Panel: Rod Rasmussen (Internet Identity); Tim Ruiz (GoDaddy), Greg Aaron (Afilias), Law Enforcement (TBD); Vanda Scartezini (At-Large Advisory Committee); Jeff Neuman (NeuStar); Oscar Robles-Garay (NIC.mx) Case studies in global criminal attacks (20 minutes) (15:06-15:26) Rod Rasmussen will describe the chronology of events leading to the discoveries and cessations of two noteworthy security incidents. He will describe both the parties involved in, and the events leading up to, the disconnection of the McColo hosting provider, and the sustained disruption of Srizbi bot communications with their command and control servers by preventing the automated registrations of botnet domains. Rod will describe the events surrounding the attack against the e-billing company, CheckFree, through its domain names, the immediate effects, related phishing of registrars, and the prospects for future, similar attacks against the financial sector and end-users. Abuse Response Today – (30 minutes) (15:26-15:56) The speakers will describe their respective roles in responding to, and acting upon, criminal complaints where domain names are used to abet criminal activities, and how to protect legitimate end-users from erroneous shut-downs (false positives). A law enforcement expert will describe the role of the private sector in cooperating with law enforcement agencies, and in proactively responding to E-crime so as to protect consumers. Audience Questions (15 minutes) (15:56-16:16:11) Session 3. Role of ICANN Stakeholders and Staff in Responding to e-Crime (45 minutes) Time: 16:11-17:01 Moderator: Lyman Chapin (former Director, ICANN Board) (16:11-16:14) Panel: Jon Nevett (Network Solutions); Garth Bruen (Knujon); Steve Metalitz (Intellectual Property Constituency); David Giza (ICANN Compliance Office); Roelof Meijer (SIDN); Adam Palmer (Public Interest Registry); Rudi Vansnick (ISOC.be); Marc Ottawa (Royal Canadian Mounted Police); Andy Steingruebl (PayPal); Tony Harris (Cabase) (16:14-16:56) The speakers will describe how current ICANN gTLD and ccTLD policies and contractual obligations of registries and registrars help combat E-crime. The role of ICANN’s Compliance Office in reinforcing these efforts, such as in the areas of WHOIS accuracy, and registrar breach notices, will be explained. The speakers will also discuss the efforts among industry groups to develop voluntary guidelines and share data to enhance the private sector’s responses to e-Crime.
