Dear all,
I am contacting you in your capacity as Chairs of ALAC, GAC, ccNSO, SSAC and ASO following a resolution passed by the GNSO Council at its June 22 public meeting in Singapore.
The resolution, was part of an overall motion resulting from the work of the Inter-Registrar Transfer Policy Part B working group (see motion here: https://community.icann.org/display/gnsocouncilmeetings/Motions+22+June+2011) and the group's final report (http://gnso.icann.org/issues/transfers/irtp-b-final-report-30may11-en.pdf).
The resolution requests that, in my capacity as Chair of the GNSO Council, I inform you and open discussions with you as you can see from the text below. Happy to discuss with you at your convenience.
Regards,
Stéphane Van Gelder GNSO Council Chair
RESOLVED (B), the GNSO Council recommends the promotion by ALAC and other ICANN structures of the measures outlined in the recent report of the Security and Stability Advisory Committee on A Registrant's Guide to Protecting Domain Name Registration Accounts (SAC 044). In particular, the GNSO Council recommends that registrants consider the measures to protect domain registrar accounts against compromise and misuse described in SAC044, Section 5. These include practical measures that registrants can implement "in house", such as ways to protect account credentials and how to incorporate domain name registrations into employee or resource management programs typically found in medium and large businesses. It suggests ways that registrants can use renewal and change notifications from registrars as part of an early warning or alerting system for possible account compromise. The GNSO Council Chair will reach out to the ALAC and other ICANN structures to inform them of this recommendation and discuss how the GNSO may contribute to this promotion. (IRTP Part B Recommendation #2)
