FW: Agenda for Joint ccNSO/GNSO lunch meeting in Brussels
by Gabriella Schittek June 9, 2010

June 9, 2010

Dear Councillors, The topics below have been suggested by the GNSO for discussion during the joint ccNSO/GNSO Council lunch in Brussels (Monday, 21 June 12.30 - 14.00). Please, could you let me know if you are happy with them and/or whether you would like to add any. Thanks, Gabi From: Gomes, Chuck [mailto:cgomes@verisign.com] Sent: Tuesday, 8 June 2010 12:52 To: Chris Disspain Subject: Agenda for Joint ccNSO/GNSO lunch meeting in Brussels Chris, In addition to the DNS-CERT topic, one person on the Council suggested that we talk about Synchronized TLDs. Are you okay with those two discussion topics? Did you have another topic to add? In the case of Synchronized TLDs, Andrei Kolesnikov volunteered to draft a brief intro to them for those who are not familiar with them and to kick off the discussion. In the case of the DNS-CERT, I think we have enough common ground that it should be easy to get discussion going. Thoughts?

Questions & topics for board members
by Gabriella Schittek June 9, 2010

June 9, 2010

Dear all, During the ccNSO meeting in Brussels, there will be a Board Update session where Peter Dengate-Thrush, Rod Beckstrom and Mike Silber will be present (Tuesday, 22nd June 10.00 - 10.45 - see http://ccnso.icann.org/meetings/brussels/agenda.htm) In order to prepare for this session, we would like to encourage you to think of questions you would like to ask the board members or topics you would like to have included in the discussion. Please email questions and topics to me as soon as possible so we can give Peter, Rod and Mike an idea of what we want to talk about. To make the meeting more interactive it would be great if those with a question or comment would come to the microphone rather than having Chris simply read questions from a list but if you are uncomfortable doing that then let me know. Kind regards, Gabi

FW: Joint Working Group to consider concept of DNS CERT
by Chris Disspain June 9, 2010

June 9, 2010

FYI as discussed on council call. Chris Disspain | Chief Executive Officer .au Domain Administration Ltd <tel:1300%20732%20929> T: 1300 732 929 | <tel:03%208341%204112> F: 03 8341 4112 E: ceo(a)auda.org.au | W: <http://www.auda.org.au/> www.auda.org.au auDA - The Australian Domain Name Administrator Important Notice - This email may contain information which is confidential and/or subject to legal privilege, and is intended for the use of the named addressee only.

If you have received this email by mistake, please notify the sender and delete this message immediately. Please consider the environment before printing this email. From: Chris Disspain [mailto:ceo@auda.org.au] Sent: Wednesday, 9 June 2010 11:54 To: Chuck Gomes Cc: 'Cheryl Langdon-Orr' Subject: Joint Working Group to consider concept of DNS CERT Chuck, In our conversation last week we discussed the possibility of the gNSO and ccNSO (along with other relevant ACs and independent experts) setting up the working group contemplated in the joint Chair's letter to ICANN of 25 March 2010 as soon as possible. I put this proposal to the ccNSO council on our call of 8 June and confirm that the council has agreed that in the event of the proposal also being agreed by the gNSO council, a small joint drafting team should work before Brussels to draft the charter for the establishment of a Working Group comprising representatives of ICANN's Security and Stability Advisory Committee, Root Server System Advisory Committee, GAC, ALAC, CERT operators and ccTLD and gTLD managers to draw upon their collective expertise and to solicit their input on: . the broad concept of a DNS-CERT; . the current work being undertaken to mitigate DNS-related threats; . the actual level, frequency and severity of these threats; . the gaps (if any) in the current security response to DNS issues; . whether or not a DNS-CERT is a proposal they support; and . if so, the logistics of the proposal. The goal would be to have the charter approved by the ccNSO and gNSO in Brussels if possible so that we can announce the formation of the working group. I'm guessing that formally the working group will need to be a joint gNSO ccNSO group (as the 2 relevant supporting organisations that can actually make policy) with the charter mandating the involvement of the relevant ACs and outside experts. In the event that the gNSO council does approve the proposal then the action items will be a) to call for some volunteers to do the drafting along with Bart Boswinkel as ccNSO staff and an equivalent gNSO person and b) to approach the other ACs to inform them that this is occurring. I understand your council meets on 10 June 2010 and look forward to hearing from you regarding your discussions.
