ICANN takes all threats against DNS infrastructure seriously, as is consistent with our technical coordination role, our role as operator of the L Root server, and ICANN's mission to maintain the stable and secure operation of the Internet's unique identifier systems. We are tracking the threat and collaborating with others in the industry and greater community to ensure we are prepared. These efforts are being led by Jeff Moss, ICANN's Chief Security Officer. We are writing to ask you, in your role as Chair of the GNSO, if there is any advice or information that you or your members wish to share on this specific threat. If you have information concerning the threat, or if you have any questions, please contact Jeff Moss at jeffrey.moss@icann.org. We will update you with relevant information as we receive it. Sincerely, Rod
