Dear Eberhard, Thank you. The call for volunteers refers to what is included in the Terms of Reference as adopted by Council in June. That being said, I am confident the Tech WG leadership is welcome to help advance the work by the Study Group.

by Claudia Ruiz Sept. 1, 2025

Sept. 1, 2025

Sent on behalf of the TLD-OPs Standing Committee. Dear all, We propose launching a short survey this summer to better understand the interest of the community in participating in our upcoming workshop. The goal is to gather insights on the current cybersecurity practices and tools used within ccTLDs, and to identify opportunities for collaboration and knowledge sharing. This initiative is not only intended to collect information, but also to serve as a resource for other ccTLDs by highlighting effective practices, commonly used OSS tools, and opportunities for peer support within the community. Survey: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/Q5XPXRD Please provide us with your answers by September 15 at the latest. See you soon in Dubin! Thank you!
