by Chris Disspain Jan. 12, 2011

Jan. 12, 2011

All, See the below email from Janis Karklins. This looks like the sort of thing we could assist with. Let's discuss at our Council meeting on 25 January. Cheers, 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.

From: Karklins, Janis [mailto:j.karklins@unesco.org] Sent: Monday, 10 January 2011 17:10 To: ceo(a)auda.org.au Subject: Call for help Hi Chris, First of all - Happy and prosperous New Year to you and Jill. Lot of health, other things money buy. As you probably have heard UNESCO, ISOC and OECD is doing joint study on the economic aspects of local content creation and local Internet infrastructure to analyse whether the encouragement of local content creation and development of local Internet infrastructure have impact on the price of access to Internet by local users. For this exercise we need some data which could be provided by ccTLD registries. Type of date for the period of past 10 years we are looking at is: . Number of registered domain names at the end of the year . Price of registration of domain name . Price of local traffic . Price of local hosting . Number of ISPs in the country I think that these questions could be asked by using a small questionnaire which could be send out with your encouragement. The results of the study we are planning to present during the next IGF. Do you think that ccNSO could help me out? Thank you for considering JK __________ Information from ESET Smart Security, version of virus signature database 5776 (20110110) __________ The message was checked by ESET Smart Security. http://www.eset.com __________ Information from ESET Smart Security, version of virus signature database 5782 (20110112) __________ The message was checked by ESET Smart Security. http://www.eset.com

The objective of this working group is to: - examine the level, frequency and severity of threats to the DNS; - the current efforts and activities to mitigate these threats; and - identify possible gaps in the current security response to DNS issues. The Charter is available at http://www.ccnso.icann.org/announcements/announcement-15nov10-en.htm As this charter was also adopted by the ALAC and GNSO and is in the process of being adopted by the NRO, we are now calling for volunteers from the ccTLD community to join the DSSA Working Group. If you would like to become a member of the DSSA WG, please note that following membership criteria apply: 1) You should have knowledge or expertise of the objectives of the DSSA Working Group 2) You should be prepared to actively participate in the activities of the working group on an ongoing and long-term basis. 3) You should be prepared, if required, to sign a a Formal Affirmation of Confidentiality and Non-Disclosure paper (see Annex B of Charter) and/or a Non-Disclosure Agreement. The WG might want to set up a sub-working group to access confidential or proprietary information. If you want to participate in such a sub-working group you will most likely be be required to sign one or both of the aforementioned agreements in order to ensure access to and protection of confidential information. If you are interested in joining this Working Group, we also need a Statement of Interest, containing following information: - Current vocation, employer and position - Type of work performed - Identify any financial ownership or senior management/leadership interest in that are interested parties in DSSA related topics. - Identify any type of commercial or non-commercial interest in DSSA related topics.

Please, identify any knowledge, expertise or experience you have that would be relevant to the work of the DSSA Working Group. - Describe any tangible or intangible benefit that you receive from participation in such processes, for example, if you are an academic or NGO and use your position to advance your ability to participate, this should be a part of the statement of interest, just as should employment by an organisation that has an interest in DNSSA Working Group outcomes. The Statement of Interest will be posted on the DSSA Working Group website. You do not need to be a ccNSO member to join the group! If you are interested in joining the DSSA Working Group, please let me have your statement by the 17 January 2011, at the latest.
