Hi all, Please see below for responses to a number of outstanding questions for ICANN Org: Tracker item 80: Provide responses to questions<https://docs.google.com/document/d/15g9bz4h57wC9LmNltKLarLRGhJdztnCBzDGtWmBs...> from SSR1 briefings (Ops + Finance) (Question 11): Who will be the contracting entity for future SOC2/3 audits of PTI? It is not currently known who the contractor will be beyond the current period. A competitive RFP process is being conducted to select the vendor for the next SOC2 and SOC3 audits. It is estimated the vendor will be selected in October. Tracker item 86: Provide SSR2-RT with information on if ICANN Office of the CTO has plans to re-define “security”? If so, how and when? It is not the role of the ICANN Office of the CTO to define or re-define "security". We currently use the definition found in the SSR Framework document, however if the community believes refinement or replacement of that definition is necessary, we'll facilitate those discussions and use the new definition when complete.
