Subject: Re: ICANN National Survey


Hi Patrick,

This survey is a response to the ccNSO, GAC and other comments about
understanding the connections and the gaps between national CSIRTs and DNS
operations. 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
