Summary SECIR Conference Call #5 The ccNSO working group ³Secure Email Communication for ccTLD Incident Response² (SECIR) held its fifth conference call on Mon Oct 6. We first discussed the potential policies for ccTLD security representatives to subscribe to a SECIR messaging session. We distinguished a hierarchical policy (ccTLD representatives can subscribe to a SECIR session when their ccTLD manager asserts their trustworthiness) and a peer-to-peer subscription policy (ccTLD security representatives can subscribe to a SECIR session when other ccTLD reps assert their trustworthiness). Based on this discussion, we also agreed to introduce two kinds of messaging sessions: (1) a static ³all ccTLDs² session that interconnects all ccTLD security representatives and that uses a hierarchical subscription policy and (2) dynamically created incident-specific sessions that interconnect a subset of the ccTLDs and that uses a subscription policy that matches the needs of the people in the session (hierarchical or peer-to-peer). The second topic we discussed in the call was the interworking of the SECIR services with similar services at regional organizations, for which we developed a first high-level interaction model. We also reviewed the draft of the slides that we¹ll be presenting at the ccNSO Meeting in LA (Day 1, security session) and prepared our face-to-face meeting in LA on Mon Oct 13.
