by GNSO.SECRETARIAT＠GNSO.ICANN.ORG June 2, 2008

June 2, 2008

Dear All, We would like to draw your attention to the Fast Flux notice and invitation to join the working group that is on the GNSO homepage http://gnso.icann.org/ What's New: During its meeting of 29 May, the GNSO council decided to create a WG in order to meet its requirements for the PDP. The details are contained in the motion attached below. In order to initiate this working group the following steps are being taken: This public announcement is being made of the working group's formation. Each constituency, and the liaisons, are invited to discuss the composition of the working group and to provide a list of names of expected participants who can then be added to the WG mailing list. Other stakeholders and experts may be invited to join the WG by the GNSO council. Community members who wish to be invited to join the group should contact the GNSO secretariat and the invitations will be reviewed by the GNSO council. The Working Group will have an initial meeting on 21 June (time to be announced) in Paris. Remote participation facilities will be available. At the initial meeting, one topic will be that of a picking a working group chair. The choice of working group chair will be subject to GNSO council approval at its meeting of 25 June. It is expected that discussion on candidates for chair will occur before the 21 June meeting. In the interim, Avri Doria, as GNSO council chair, will chair the working group. The GNSO council in its approval of the charter decided that more guidance may be required on the meaning of rough consensus and its application to this WG. This topic will be discussed on the GNSO council list and if/when further guidance is agreed upon, it will be forwarded to the working group and its chair. At its meeting on 25 June, the GNSO council will also decide on its liaison to the WG. Interested council members are invited to make their willingness to serve in this capacity known. Motion which was passed by the GNSO Council: http://gnso.icann.org/announcements/announcement-30may08.htm. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you.

ALAC has invited any interested Council and constituency members to join this information session. Please let me know if you would like to, <gnso.secretariat(a)gnso.icann.org> and if you have a language preference so suitable arrangements can be made. Thank you. Kind regards, Glen ------ Forwarded Message From: At-Large Staff <staff(a)atlarge.icann.org> Veuillez trouver la version française de ce message suivant plus bas Por favor véase el mensaje en español abajo Dear all, You are invited to join Dave Piscitello's Briefing Session on Fast Flux Hosting which will take place on 5 June at 1300 UTC. Please find the meeting page with participation instructions and documents below. https://st.icann.org/alac/index.cgi?fast_flux_hosting French and Spanish interpretation is tentatively scheduled for this meeting. However, there is currently only one French and no Spanish speaking person who expressed interest in the Briefing session. As you can imagine, it takes a considerable amount of resources to organize a multilingual presentation and it is only worth doing if there is a real interest from the non-English speaking language communities for these events. If you would like to participate in the French or Spanish channel for this meeting, please write an email to staff(a)atlarge.icann.org. What is Fast Flux? "Fast flux" is an evasion technique that cyber-criminals and Internet miscreants use to evade identification and to frustrate law enforcement and anticrime efforts aimed at locating and shutting down web sites used for illegal purposes. Fast flux hosting supports a wide variety of cyber-crime activities (fraud, identity theft, online scams) and is considered one of the most serious threats to online activities today. One variant of fast flux hosting, "double flux", exploits the domain name registration and name resolution services. Cher(e)s membres, Vous êtes invité, par le biais d'une téléconférence, à participer à une session d'information sur "l'Accueil Rapide de Flux" (ou "Fast Flux Hosting") de Monsieur Dave Piscitello de la division Sécurité et Stabilité du Comité Consultatif (SSAC) d'ICANN, qui aura lieu le 5 juin à 13.00 UTC. Veuillez s'il vous plait trouver ci-dessous la page de cette réunion avec les instructions de participation et les informations supplémentaires pour cette réunion. https://st.icann.org/alac/index.cgi?fast_flux_hosting L'interprétation en français et en espagnole est programmée pour cette réunion. Cependant, il y a actuellement seulement une seule francophone et aucune personne hispanophones qui a montré un intérêt pour cette session d'information. Comme vous pouvez imaginer, il requiert une quantité considérable de ressources afin d'organiser une présentation multilingues et il est seulement intéressant de le faire, si et seulement si, il y a un vrai intérêt des communautés non anglophones pour ces événements. Si vous voulez participer à cette conférence sur le canal français, envoyez s'il vous plaît un email à staff(a)atlarge.icann.org Qu'est-ce que l'Accueil Rapide de Flux? "L'Accueil Rapide de Flux" est une technique d'évasion que les cyber-criminels et les mécréants d'Internet emploient pour esquiver l'identification et pour frustrer le renforcement des lois et les efforts anticriminelles afin de non seulement localiser, mais aussi d'arrêter les sites Internet utilisés à des buts illégaux. L'Accueil Rapide de Flux soutient une large variété d'activités cyber-criminelle (fraude, vol d'identité, escroqueries en ligne) et est considéré comme une des plus graves menaces des activités en ligne d'aujourd'hui. Une variante de l'Accueil Rapide de Flux, les "doubles flux" exploite l'enregistrement des Noms de Domaine et des Services de Résolution des Noms. Estimados miembros de At-Large, Les invitamos a la presentación de David Piscitello sobre el Fast Flux Hosting que será el 5 de Junio a las 1300 UTC. Véase la página web de este reunión telefónica para ver las instrucciones de participación. Cargaramos más documentos sobre la reunión en breve. https://st.icann.org/alac/index.cgi?fast_flux_hosting La interpretación en lengua española y francesa es planeada de manera provisoria. Sin embargo, por el momento solo hay una persona de lengua francesa y ningún hispanohablante que ha manifestado su interés por esta presentación. Como se lo puede imaginar, organizar una presentación en varias idiomas necesita muchas recursos y solo es interesante hacerlo si existe un verdadero interés da la comunidad no anglófona. En caso de que quiere participar en este reunión en el canal español o francés, escriba un email a staff(a)atlarge.icann.org por favor. Que es el Fast Flux Hosting? El Fast Flux es un método de evasión usada por criminales de Internet para evadir su identificación y así frustrar la lucha anticriminal de los autoridades que intentan localizar y cerrar los sitios Webs usados para fines ilegales. El Fast Flux Hosting es usado en varias actividades del ciber-crimen organizado tales como el fraude, el robo o suplantación de identidad y el engaño on-line y representa hoy en día una de las más serias amenazas para la actividad on-line de hoy. Otra variante del Fast Flux Hosting es el Double Flux, un método que se aprovecha de los servicios de registro de dominios.
