Fwd: [So-ac-sg-cleaders] Message from Göran Marby on the EC Cybersecurity Strategy

The EC has published a paper about their Cybersecurity strategy.

Thank you James - this is a Communication from the European Commission to the European Parliament and to the Council (representatives from the 28 European Union Member States). A Communication is not in itself a legal act but a document that announces potential legal acts and action plans. Keep in mind, the responsibility of the European Union (EU) is limited in the area of cyber security, this is still a political area that is largely not harmonized and therefore remains largely domestically defined. Nonetheless there are certain things the European Union can do to trigger more harmonized operations. We should certainly watch this field to avoid a potential negative spillover into our area.

Hi James, thanks for sharing this. I assume that is not an open document for consultation but is ICANN (the "org", staff etc) planning to send any kind of letter or response? Best, Rafik 2017-09-18 22:07 GMT+09:00 James M. Bladel <jbladel@godaddy.com>:
