Dear GNSO Councilors, As you may recall, Patrik Fältström, the new Chair of the Security and Stability Advisory Committee (SSAC), is scheduled to meet briefly with the GNSO Council at its Saturday Working Session at the ICANN Silicon Valley meeting from 10:30 to 11:00 am on 12 March. For your reference in advance of this meeting, I have attached the presentation that Patrik will be providing to you. This will be a very brief presentation since the majority of the time will be reserved for discussion and questions. In particular, Patrik is interested in hearing your ideas on how the SSAC can help the GNSO and on practical areas to explore. For example, in the past, initial work by the SSAC has led to policy work in the GNSO, such as fast flux hosting and aspects of registration abuse relating to WHOIS. In addition, over the years GNSO working groups have considered recommendations from various SSAC reports. (See partial list below.) If you have any suggestions for topics for discussion that you would like me to convey to Patrik in advance of the meeting, please let me know. Thank you very much for your assistance.
