Hi Chris,

As discussed at the end of the Council meeting, I agree that the letter should be addressed to Rod directly. It will help focusing more on the fact and less on the man.

I also agree with the suggestions made by the Council members and would like to add one more:  I believe we need to ask for the underlying facts to be disclosed in a meeting with the ccNSO.

If Rod has information that supports his statements (which I guess we should assume) I would find it incredibly careless/negligent not to share this with the potential targets of the attack.

“The ccNSO also urges you to share with its Council the underlying facts or studies that led you to make these statements.”

I may have gotten a little carried away.

As an aside, Rod’s comments about contributions and vulnerability of the DNS have already been picked up by tech media.
