Dear All, ALAC has asked for volunteers from all of the RALOs to serve on the Joint DNS Security and Stability Analysis Working Group (DSSA-WG). The ALAC endorsed the Charter of DSSA WG during the ICANN Meeting in Cartagena in December 2010 (the Charter is available on the Joint DSSA WG At-Large Workspace at https://community.icann.org/display/atlarge/Joint+DSSA+WG+-+At-Large+Workspa... The objective of the DSSA-WG is to: * Examine the level, frequency and severity of threats to the DNS * Review the current efforts and activities intended to mitigate these threats; and * Identify possible gaps in the current security response to DNS issues. If you would like to become an At-Large representative from LACRALO of the DSSA WG, please note that the following membership criteria apply: 1) You should have knowledge or expertise of the objectives of the DSSA WG. 2) You should be prepared to actively participate in the activities of the WG on an on-going and long-term basis. 3) You should be prepared, if required, to sign a Formal Affirmation of Confidentiality and Non-Disclosure paper (see Annex B of the Charter) and/or a Non-Disclosure Agreement. The WG may decide to establish a sub-working group to access confidential or proprietary information. If you are interested in participating in such a sub-working group, you will most likely be required to sign one or both of the aforementioned agreements in order to ensure access to and protection of confidential information. If there is anyone interested in being on this Working Group and meets the requirements, please let the chair or the secretariat know as soon as possible.
