Action item 43b. ITHI timeline
by Jennifer Bryce Sept. 6, 2017

Sept. 6, 2017

Hi all, In response to Tracker Item 43 b<https://community.icann.org/display/SSR/Tracking+Tool>. “Follow-up via email: Could you please clarify when ITHI will start regularly publishing (or giving the public access to) data? It seems that the “schedule” below is about discussions rather than production, or am I misunderstanding?” Here is the response: “The target date for publishing ITHI data is currently the 2nd half of ICANN FY18. There are some source data dependencies that need to be further worked before publication can happen. Once those dependencies are sorted out, then a plan for publication will be put into effect.” As always, please let us know if you have questions.

Question on definition of "security"
by Kaveh Ranjbar Sept. 5, 2017

Sept. 5, 2017

Hello team, Going through action items we had this open question from SSR2 Review Team: "The ICANN security team (now OCTO/SSR) developed a framework that provided a definition for "security". The SSR2 team used that definition. The Board response to the Terms of Reference expressed that this definition is too broad for the Review Team’s use. Is Board asking staff to redefine definition of “security”?” Although I have answered this in person, to have a record of the answer on the list, please find my written response below: “Thank you for this question. The answer is no, the board is not asking staff to redefine current working definition of “security”. As I clarified in the SSR2’s meeting in Johannesburg, on 26th of June 2017, aim of the board's question was to ensure that -given how broad the definition of “security” could be- the SSR2 Review Team focuses its efforts on a manageable set of issues properly within ICANN’s mission and remit.” Please let me know if you have any further questions or comments. All the best, Kaveh.

Connectivity - SSR2 Review Team - Meeting #26 | 14:00 UTC | Tuesday, 05 September 2017
by MSSI Secretariat Sept. 5, 2017

Sept. 5, 2017

Hello SSR2 Review Team - Good day. I just wanted to touch base regarding connectivity for our next SSR2 Review Team - Meeting #26 |14:00 UTC Tuesday, 05 September 2017. We have conquered many of the noise disturbances previously present and would like to ensure continued connectivity on future calls. For the best results in regions with connectivity, we suggest doing the following... * Connect to the Adobe Connect (https://participate.icann.org/ssrreview) 20-30 minutes before the scheduled call - the Adobe Connect room will be open and I will be available to assist you - in addition we can resolve any microphone/static/connection issues ahead of time - including connecting with international operators if need be. The goal is to have all connection concerns resolved by the top of the hour for the benefit of the team. * Be located (if possible) in an area that has proper broadband connection and is quiet - thus creating a strong signal connection, making it possible to see and hear in the Adobe Connect Room. * Feel free to Skype me either before, during or after the call - my skype address is yvette.guigneaux.icann - this way I can respond to you almost immediately for whatever you may need - including having the Adobe Connect Room dial out to you if need be. As your SSR2 Review Team Secretariat, I am determined to create an atmosphere where you can clearly participate in the Adobe Connect Room. Thank you everyone and I look forward to seeing you all on our upcoming call. :) Kind Regards, Yvette Guigneaux (MSSI) Multistakeholder Strategy & Strategic Initiatives Projects & Operations Assistant.

Re: [Ssr2-review] [Ext] RE: Action item 126
by Jennifer Bryce Sept. 1, 2017

Sept. 1, 2017

Hi James, all, To follow-up on James’ point below, we wanted to let you know that we’re finalizing the process for review teams to access materials designated as confidential by respective SMEs. We’ll have the information available to share next week and we’ll be happy to walk through the process on a plenary call, if the Review Team would find this helpful. Best, Jennifer From: James Gannon <james(a)cyberinvasion.net> Date: Wednesday, August 30, 2017 at 10:09 AM To: Jennifer Bryce <jennifer.bryce(a)icann.org>, SSR2 <ssr2-review(a)icann.org> Subject: [Ext] RE: Action item 126 Hi Jennifer, In this case then the respective SMEs and departments must make every effort to classify and categorise in advance of our meeting all potential documents that the team may request during the face to face, this will extend to all usual materials that would be requested by an auditor under normal business circumstances which the departments should be very familiar with. Happy to provide additional details as required, -James From: ssr2-review-bounces(a)icann.org [mailto:ssr2-review-bounces@icann.org] On Behalf Of Jennifer Bryce Sent: 30 August 2017 16:56 To: SSR2 <ssr2-review(a)icann.org> Subject: [Ssr2-review] Action item 126 Hi all, Regarding action item 126: Request ICANN Legal to be present at ICANN SSR face-to-face meeting, October 9-10 to rule on availability of documents. ICANN Legal cannot make on-the-spot decisions regarding access to individual documents, and will therefore not be present at the meeting to rule on availability of documents. The process that is followed for document requests is outlined in the revised Confidential Disclosure Framework and Non-Disclosure Agreement, circulated to the review team yesterday, 29 August. As mentioned in the email yesterday, if you elect not to sign the NDA, there may be instances where you will be restricted from accessing, using or discussing any confidential information provided by ICANN under the NDA. We are working to determine how to best manage requests in this instance and can provide more information when available. Please let us know if you have any questions.
