Dear caucus members, First my best wishes for 2015. I hope your year is coming along beautifully and that will get even better! I've received a request from a sub-group of ICANN's Board of Directors - its Board Risk Committee - to help identifying what enterprise risks ICANN is facing and how to assess them. This is not food enough for a formal work party, but I and the BRC would welcome your thoughts on this. Per the appended letter, the BRC wants to receive input before the ICANN meeting in Singapore. If you have any thoughts on this matter, please let's hear them on this mailing list before Jan 31, so that we can collect them and compile them as a collected response to the BRC before the deadline. So ... what comes to mind? Cheers, /Liman #---------------------------------------------------------------------- # Lars-Johan Liman, M.Sc. ! E-mail: liman@netnod.se # Senior Systems Specialist !

ICANN has developed a risk management framework and methodology that is used to identify, mitigate and monitor risks. The purpose of this email is to reach out to you, the SO/AC/SG Leadership, to ask your group to identify what it believes are the top five enterprise-wide risks to ICANN. This feedback process allows us to calibrate and evaluate risks identified internally with those identified by the community. We envision a response as an enumerated list of the top five enterprise risks that your SO or AC group believes ought to be ICANN¹s top priorities. We ask to provide a written response via email by 5 February 2015. We anticipate discussion on these identified risks in the SO/AC Constituency meetings with the Board during ICANN 52 in Singapore. Please send all written responses directly to Enterprise-Risk@ICANN.Org <mailto:Enterprise-Risk@ICANN.Org> . We understand that you may not have the time to develop a formal response from your SO or AC group. In that case, we would appreciate you providing us with your own personal views or those of a small sub-set of your SO or AC group, but please let us know if you have done so. We will iterate the process to improve it and comments on possible improvements are most welcome. Again, thank you in advance and we look forward to your input. Regards, Mike Silber & Ram Mohan ICANN Board Risk Committee Co-Chairs #---------------------------------------------------------------------- # END.
