SECIR: summary conference call #9
by Gabriella Schittek Jan. 9, 2015

Jan. 9, 2015

Dear all, Following summary is forwarded on behalf of the SECIR Chair Cristian Hesselman > > Summary SECIR Conference Call #9 > The ccNSO working group ³Secure Email Communication for cccTLD Incident > Response² (SECIR) held its ninth conference call on Thu Jan 8. We discussed > the update of the SECIR subscription procedure, which consists of a few simple > steps to authenticate security and stability contacts of ccTLDs and subscribe > them to the TLD-OPS mailing list. TLD-OPS is an existing but dormant mailing > list at DNS-OARC that we previously decided to use to implement version 1 of > the SECIR Contact Repository. The underlying rationale is that this approach > enables us to quickly set up a running system at zero costs, thus allowing the > community to experience its added value. We agreed on the updated subscription > procedure, which we included in the draft of the WG¹s report. The second topic > we discussed was the focus of the WG. We decided to concentrate on delivering > the TLD-OPS-based version of the SECIR Contact Repository (i.e., version 1) > and for now put an OPS-Trust-based Contact Repository (version 2) on the SECIR > roadmap. Our third and final topic was the WG planning until the Singapore > meeting. We decided to invite a few ccTLDs to join the TLD-OPS list in the > weeks ahead (one ccTLD per region) and evaluate and fine-tune the subscription > procedure with them. We also asked the ccNSO Secretariat for a time slot at > the ccNSO Members Day in Singapore to update the community on our progress. > Our next call will take place in the last week of January to prepare for the > Singapore meeting. > > SECIR charter: http://ccnso.icann.org/workinggroups/secir.htm > > Members: Erwin Lansing (.dk), Jacques Latour (.ca), Frederico Neves (.br), > Abibu Ntahigiye (.tz), Geng-Da Tsai (.tw), and Cristian Hesselman (.nl, chair) > >

Call for volunteers ccNSO Guideline Review Committee
by Gabriella Schittek Jan. 7, 2015

Jan. 7, 2015

Dear all, The ccNSO Council has decided to set up a ccNSO Guideline Review Committee (³GRC²), which will be tasked to review the current set of ccNSO rules and guidelines, which were adopted around 2008. Since then, the scale of the ccNSO has changed (increased membership, different topics) and the working methods have evolved. This review is independent of the review of the ccNSO itself (anticipated to start in February - March 2016). We are now looking for volunteers to this Committee. The committee¹s task will be to look into all current ccNSO rules and guidelines, to establish whether they reflect current practices and working methods that the ccNSO is using and whether there are any gaps that need to be filled. The GRC is also expected to propose changes to the current rules and guidelines to the Council. The Committee will NOT look into the guidelines for voluntary contributions of ccTLDs to ICANN, nor the Accountability Framework Guidelines. For more detailed information, see the GRC Charter at http://ccnso.icann.org/workinggroups/draft-charter-grc-11dec14-en.pdf Should you be interested in joining this committee, please, let me know by Friday, 16 January. Kind regards, Gabi
