Statement from SO/AC Chairs on the suspension of the Security and Stability Review
by Patrik Fältström Nov. 11, 2017

Nov. 11, 2017

STATEMENT FROM SO/AC CHAIRS ON THE SUSPENSION OF THE SECURITY AND STABILITY REVIEW The Chairs of ICANN’s Supporting Organizations (SOs) and Advisory Committees (ACs) acknowledge the 28 October 2017 announcement from the Board of Directors, pausing the work of the Security, Stability and Resiliency Review Team (SSR2-RT), and the Board's having tasked the SOs and ACs in sessions this week with addressing concerns raised by the Board, Organizational Effectiveness Committee (OEC), and the Security and Stability Advisory Committee (SSAC). Collectively, we accept responsibility for getting SSR2-RT restarted as expeditiously as possible. During various sessions throughout ICANN60, our groups have met with the Board and/or members of SSR2-RT to hear their concerns. We intend to continue to consult with our respective communities, and each other, to assess and address issues relating to the scope, composition and participation, resource utilization, and overall work plan of the Review. Additionally, the Board’s unilateral decision to suspend the work of a key accountability mechanism has raised questions that go to the independence of SSR2-RT, and specific reviews going forward. As a follow-on effort, we intend to examine the selection and scoping process for review teams, and develop a clear and predictable process for raising and addressing concerns about review teams. We also intend to carefully consider the Board's action, with a view to preventing similar instances in the future. We look forward to working collaboratively with the Board, SSR2-RT and the broader community on this task. The SO/AC Chairs support the SSR2 RT meeting on Friday, 3 November 2017, and followup telephone conferences when needed. These are necessary so that the team can work on resolving the issues identified and discussed before and during ICANN60 related to scope and skills. Finally, we wish to acknowledge the efforts of our colleagues on the SSR2-RT to date, and thank them for their continued commitment towards security, stability and resiliency. Alan Greenberg (Chair ALAC) Patrik Fältström (Outgoing Chair SSAC) Rod Rasmussen (Incoming Chair SSAC) Katrina Sataki (Chair ccNSO) Thomas Schneider (Outgoing Chair GAC) Manal Ismail (Incoming Chair GAC) James Bladel (Outgoing Chair GNSO Council) Heather Forrest (Incoming Chair GNSO Council) Tripti Sinha(Co-Chair RSSAC) Brad Verd (Co-Chair RSSAC)

Documents for SO/AC Chairs - Action needed by Alain, Jame, Ram
by Denise Michel Nov. 10, 2017

Nov. 10, 2017

Scope: Final consensus text is included below. Thanks to all who contributed and expressed a position. It will be sent to the SO/AC chairs today. Note: Your last comment was duly noted, Don, and we’ll wait to see if the chairs need more. Thanks. Skill Matrix: Alain, James and Ram, please complete the matrix<https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1AldO8HkV4l0ftxOCHph8sk71LlrJhB1nLU6…> before 23:00 UTC today, after which time it will be sent to the SO/AC chairs. A copy is attached if you’re unable to access google docs. Please send your answers to me and I’ll incorporate. Thanks to all who contributed to, and completed this. Note: Mohamad - Since we need to deliver the matrix to the chairs today, unfortunately we are not able to add skills. Thanks for your comments, though, and if we have an opportunity in the future to reconsider skills, we can circle back on your suggestions. Best, Denise Denise Michel Domain Name System Strategy & Management Facebook, Inc. denisemichel(a)fb.com<mailto:denisemichel@fb.com> Dear SO/AC Chairs; Please find enclosed a description of the SSR2 Review Team’s perspective of the scope of this review. As requested, the SSR2 is completing the requested item to “[resolve] the issues identified and discussed before and during ICANN60 related to scope.” We hope this meets your requirements regarding the Review Team’s perspective on the scope of this review. The current Terms of Reference for SSR2’s efforts up to the point of this pause in our actions, including a detailed view of the scope of the review, can be found here. Additional information on SSR2 activities, including the work plan can be found on the Review Team’s wiki. Please let us know if you require anything further. Regards, The Second Security, Stability, and Resiliency of the DNS Review Team (SSR2) ............ Scope The Security, Stability and Resiliency of the DNS Review Team (SSR2 or Review Team) has operated and conducted its work according to its adopted scope (detailed in its Terms of Reference document), which was adopted by consensus of the Review Team on 4 May 2017. We would like to offer an overview on the overarching tenets that were adopted and that guided the development of the scope of this review that we hope will be helpful to the SO and AC chairs in considering the parameters associated with resuming this effort: Breadth vs. Depth: In such a review, we believe that it is, in general, more helpful to look at breadth and the broader aspects of security, stability and resiliency rather than dive into depth in just a small number of issues. We believe this approach will lend itself to more informed conclusions that can be contextualized. Capability vs. Behaviors: We believe that it is more helpful in the context of this review to look at the capability of ICANN to manage issues related to security, stability and resiliency rather than being overly prescriptive as to how ICANN should respond to particular circumstances that have arisen in the past or may arise in the future. Perspective vs. Prescription: We believe that it is more helpful to review aspects of institutional awareness and capability with respect to topics related to security, stability, and resiliency, rather than provide a detailed prescription of the appropriate responses to be used in particular cases. Mindful of the Board’s and Staff’s advice regarding the need for implementable recommendations, the Review Team will strive to provide specific recommendations. Where appropriate, this may require precision, depth or specific examples for recommendations to be actionable by ICANN Org following the review.

Hi, All. We have a strong majority of “yes” for the statement below. A question to Don and Alain (in the “no” column): Do you want to offer an edit for another round of polling in an effort to make this a full consensus (abstains notwithstanding)? Friday is the deadline we committed to in our SO/AC correspondence so we can take a bit more time if you feel it’s worthwhile. Thanks.

Included below is the version all Team members were asked to review and indicate whether they can support – deadline today (by 11:30 PM Tuesday, UTC). It includes some edits since we left our last Team meeting in Abu Dhabi, but the focus and substance remains the same. I think we are very close. Please send a yes or no on this draft by the deadline. Let us know if you need more time, or would like to discuss. We’re moving this to the email thread as we’re trying to get closure/agreement on one version of the document (not a changing google doc). Attached is Geoff Huston’s preferred draft. As I noted, we hope to achieve full agreement. Absent that, we continue to operate by consensus and the Scope document will be delivered to the SO & AC chairs this week. Thanks.
