Our intent to conduct such a survey has been consistently mentioned in our communications related to the way forward the DNS-CERT, beginning with our public response to comments in April. And has been part of all the stakeholders discussions on this topic including at the Brussels meeting. Answer to those specific questions below; 1, What is purpose of survey? - See above. 2. How does this survey relate to the survey Rod announced in his letter to the ccNSO in response of DNS-CERT discussion in Nairobi. - Rod's april memo on DNS-CERT to ccNSO and others mentions no survey. Our May summary of analysis on comments states that survey will be conducted in the way forward section. It is clearly addressed in Rod's 11th August memo to the ccNSO, gNSO and ALAC chairs to include the participation of ENISA. 3. What will be role of ENISA role? ICANN role? - ENISA is coordinating the survey within its region as we prepared the survey. ENISA volunteered to do that along with other regional CSIRT organization. 4. Has the initiative on this survey been communicated/announced to ccTLD community? If not, will it be? CAN they influence the process? - Through the processes described above, as well as in the public forum of DNS-CERT at the Brussels meeting. We willing to work with anybody going forward. We will work with them the interpreting the analysis of survey. CENTR is free to work with ENISA as they desire. 5. What is current status? Has the survey been conducted? If not, when - CERT/CC sent out the survey and messages to all the National CSIRTs last week. 6 Where ccTLD community members involved in drafting - We are not sure why this is concerned here. Staff was acting to answer the specific questions raised by the community, and had announced publicly the intend to conduct such survey back to May. 7. How does this relate to the activities of the ccNSO Incident Response WG? Have they been informed/involved? - It does not relate to WG's discussion directly, they have been informed through the process described above. Thanks, - Yurie ---
