by Gabriella Schittek April 13, 2011

April 13, 2011

Dear all, Forwarded on behalf of SSAC. Gabi ==== Subject: Call for Participation -- ICANN DNSSEC Workshop 22 June 2011 Reply to: dnssec-singapore(a)shinkuro.com The DNSSEC Deployment Initiative, in cooperation with the ICANN Security and Stability Advisory Committee (SSAC), is planning a DNSSEC Workshop at the ICANN meeting in Singapore on 22 June 2011. The DNSSEC Workshop has been a part of ICANN meetings for several years and has provided a forum for both experienced and new people to meet, present and discuss current and future DNSSEC deployments. For reference, the most recent session was held at the ICANN Silicon Valley meeting in San Francisco on 16 March 2011. The presentations and transcripts of the presentations are available at http://svsf40.icann.org/node/22163. We are seeking presentations on the following topics: * Early experience on the validation side * Experience and plans from around the region * Emergence of applications on top of DNSSEC Also, we ask participants to consider addressing the following questions as they may apply to the topics: * How widely deployed is DNSSEC? * How is the global nameserver chain responding to DNSSEC queries? * What are the major problems we've seen so far in the wild? * What unexpected effects are we seeing? * Are we seeing unusual workarounds or configurations as a result of DNSSEC traffic? * Knowing what we now know, would we change anything? * DNSSEC related outages – what have we learned (Sweden, UK, France…) and how did CERT/responder-community handle recovery? In addition, we welcome suggestions for additional topics. If you are interested in participating, please send a brief (1-2 sentence) description of your proposed presentation. Here are the relevant deadlines: 22 April — Deadline to submit brief description of presentation from interested participants 6 May — Deadline to submit presentation slides 9 May — Program posted on ICANN meeting website Please respond no later than 22 April as indicated above. We hope that you can join us. Please send your reply to: dnssec-singapore(a)shinkuro.com. Thank you, Program Committee for the DNSSEC Workshop: Steve Crocker and Russ Mundy, Co-Chairs, DNSSEC Deployment Initiative Simon McCalla, Director of IT, Nominet UK Julie Hedlund, ICANN

by Gabriella Schittek April 11, 2011

April 11, 2011

Dear all, The ccNSO is now looking for volunteers for a new Framework of Interpretation Working Group (FoI WG). At its meeting on 16 March 2011, the ccNSO Council adopted the charter of the Framework of Interpretation Working Group. The FoI WG will follow-up on the work of the Delegation, Re-delegation and Retirement Working Group, which in its final report (http://ccnso.icann.org/workinggroups/final-report-drd-wg-17feb11-en.pdf) recommends that a "Framework of Interpretation" should be developed for the delegation and re-delegation of ccTLDs to provide the ICANN Board and IANA with guidance on these matters. For more information on the task and the scope of the Working Group, see http://www.ccnso.icann.org/workinggroups/charter-foiwg-16mar11-en.pdf Membership of the Working Group is open to all representatives of ccTLD managers (members and non-members of the ccNSO) who meet the following criteria: · An ongoing long-term commitment to actively participate in the activities of the Working Group; · An ability and willingness to attend face- to-face meetings and the regular teleconferences. · Commitment to read the background material (full reports) before the activities of the Working Group start. The full reports and other background material can be found at: http://ccnso.icann.org/workinggroups/drdwg.htm. The ccNSO members of the Working Group will be appointed by the ccNSO Council taking into account the background of the applicants to reflect the diversity of the ccTLD community. The working group will also include participants from the GAC, Regional Organisation representatives, external experts and liaisons from the GNSO, At-Large and the ICANN Board. If you are interested in joining this group, please reply to this email by Friday, 15 April, at the latest. Kind regards, Gabi

Single Character IDN TLDs; 2. IDN Variant TLDs; and, 3. Universal Acceptance of IDN TLDs; The JIG has issued an Initial Report (http://ccnso.icann.org/workinggroups/jig-initial-report-26jul10-en.pdf) for public comments (http://www.icann.org/en/announcements/announcement-2-27jul10-en.htm) and thereupon a Draft Final Report (http://ccnso.icann.org/workinggroups/jig-draft-final-report-04dec10-en.pdf) for public comments (http://www.icann.org/en/announcements/announcement-04dec10-en.htm) and have incorporated the comments into, and has reached consensus on the Final Report on Single Character IDN TLDs; The JIG recommendations are consistent with the GNSO Final Report on the Introduction of New Top-Level Domains (http://gnso.icann.org/issues/new-gtlds/pdp-dec05-fr-parta-08aug07.htm) including the GNSO IDN WG Final Outcomes Report (http://gnso.icann.org/drafts/idn-wg-fr-22mar07.htm) and the GNSO Reserved Names WG (http://gnso.icann.org/issues/new-gtlds/final-report-rn-wg-23may07.htm) on the issue of Single Character IDN gTLDs; and, The JIG recommendations suggested implementable measures for the acceptance of Single Character IDN gTLDs.

To follow up on this, a small survey was conducted before the Cartagena meeting. Only 7 replies were received, however, 6 of the respondents indicated that they would wish to see some kind of closed section on the website. * Most frequently mentioned was the wish to be able to discuss Working Group issues on the closed website. However, it was also mentioned that a closed section would be useful for voting or for sharing sensitive data, such as statistics, financial reports or for setting up an “Address book” (where contact details of community members, presenters etc. could be listed). So, the Council needs to decide: 1. Should there be closed sections at all 2. If so: What sections should be closed (only Working Group sections, or also more general sections, containing information such as an Address Book, statistics etc.) 3. Who should have access To point 3: In case the Council decides to close some of the page with general information, the definition, which currently is used by the ccTLD community email list for granting email list access, could be used - namely: “ccTLD Managers, administrative contacts and technical contacts of ccTLDs; Staff and board members of ccTLD registries, as approved by the ccTLD Manager or administrative contact; Observers from Regional ccTLD registry organisations, identified by their manager or board; The ccNSO secretariat, the ICANN ccNSO Policy Support Officer and the IANA ccTLD Liaison Officer.” (see Community email list charter: http://www.ccnso.icann.org/about/charter-cctld-community-list.pdf <http://www.ccnso.icann.org/about/charter-cctld-community-list.pdf> ) - other solutions are of course also possible. Regarding implementing a closed section: ICANN has introduced a new tool called Confluence, which is a type of Wiki (a website that allows the creation and editing of pages by those invited to the space). It seems that this tool could support most of the wishes which we received for a closed website. Confluence pages can either be open for everyone, or closed to certain groups. This means that, for instance, working group members could receive passwords for “their” working group and only they can access that space (we have, in fact, already been trying to use this for some working groups with another wiki called Socialtext - but it was not very popular – perhaps due the fact that it wasn’t very user friendly). Confluence also allows for “message board” functions (where participants can leave short comments on topics/documents discussed) and it can be set up so that those who wish receive email alerts of the activities. Once a Working Group is closed, its Wiki space can be archived, if wished for. Furthermore, Confluence can also support some voting functions (keeping the voter anonymous to the community, but open to the manager of the space). So it doesn’t seem that there will be much extra work needed to create closed sections, in case you think this is the way to go. Kind regards, Gabi
