------------ I am writing this email to my own capacity and experienced gained working in SSR2 before the "pause". All input given in this email represent my own capacity and should not be taken as the input from neither ALAC nor my employer. ------------ Dear Negar, I am writing to acknowledge the receipt of your email titled "Second Security, Stability, and Resiliency (SSR2) Review -- Next Steps". I should also appreciate for the efforts made from various stakeholders including SO/AC and our empowered community within ICANN. I have also learned the unpausing the Second Security, Stability, and Resiliency (SSR2) Review was not that much easy as most of the procedure to unpause specific review are not included in ICANN Bylaws and other operating standards. I should also welcome new team members to SSR2 Review and acknowledge the active role played by our colleagues whom decided to leave the group due to various reasons. It is real sorry for them and their experience will be missed by this team. It should also be emphasized that this team is guided by: 1. ICANN Bylaws, Section 4.6 (c): https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/governance/bylaws-en/#article4 2. Call for Volunteers that was published at: https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-3-2016-06-30-en In view of all of the above, I am proposing the following inputs: 1. If the unpause process is completed, the team receive an official unpausing communication. 2. The first meeting and if possible two more additional online meeting would be a better option before the face to face meeting. This will give a room for members to agree on various issues related to SSR2. 3. Face to Face meeting should not be taken as a reward to Review Team but rather an only option that sound to effective as members are not committed with their day to day activities compared to online meeting. 4. For the Face to Face meeting, SSR2 RT should prepare and agree on the Objectives and Intended Impacts/outcomes of the meeting. 5. ICANN Staff and Allocation of resources must be scheduled to make sure the intended objectives and meeting outcomes are achieved from the scheduled face to face meeting. 6. ICANN Staff should not plan the objectives and intended outcome of the first face to face meeting as it is highlighted in the communication below. 7. The selected facilitator should not influence the objectives and meeting outcome for the first face to face meeting. 8. The facilitator must be selected/identified based on his/her strength to facilitate the achieving of the intended objectives and meeting outcome. 9. The role of ICANN Staff, SO/AC and RT should clearly agreed. 10. The communication procedure for each member to communicate to his/her constituent should also be agreed 11. The communication procedure with ICANN Board should also be agreed. 12. The role of observer should also clearly be stated and procedure to receive their inputs to strengthen SSR2 work. 13. A 20 years experience in any matter, let it be SSR or working experience should not be taken a strong criteria for any RT Member not to respect the idea of any other RT member. 14. To what extent does SSR2 Review is independent? A procedure should be agreed on how various constituents may be monitored to avoid influencing the team on what should be included in the final report and also ToR in comparison of resources allocated to the team. 15. There are should be a procedure to deal with any agenda/matter requiring the legal binding for the RT. 16. Members should agree on the methodology to be used in undertaking the SSR2 activities. 17. ICANN Board should be able to acknowledge the efforts of SSR2 RT in any capacity. 18. Empowered community should be the priority of the team. It is my hope that all SSR2 RT and ICANN Community are committed to make sure that the specific review contributes a critical role as stated in ICANN Bylaws.

Dear members of the second Security, Stability, and Resiliency (SSR2) Review Team (RT),

Allow me to take this opportunity to introduce myself. For those of you who don’t know me, my name is Negar Farzinnia. I am a member of the Multistakeholder Strategy and Strategic Initiatives (MSSI) team at ICANN organization and oversee the Specific Reviews. Other members of the ICANN org supporting this review are:

Alice Jansen: Senior Project Manager, MSSI

Jennifer Bryce: Senior Reviews Coordinator, MSSI

Yvette Guigneaux: Projects and Operations Assistant, MSSI

Steve Conte: Office of the CTO Programs Director, OCTO

I am pleased to announce that Supporting Organizations and Advisory Committees (SO/ACs) have appointed new members to this very important review. I would like to take this opportunity to welcome:

Rao Naveed bin Rais (GNSO)

Laurin Weissinger (ALAC) Scott McCormick (GNSO)

Kimberly C. Claffy (SSAC)

Sadly, Don Blumenthal (SSAC) has decided not to continue participating in the SSR2 Review. We wish him the best and look forward to collaborating with him in the future reviews.

As requested by the SO/AC chairs in their 14 March 2018 communication <https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/correspondence/soac-to-koubaa-13mar18-...>, ICANN organization is in the process of engaging a facilitator to help with onboarding new members who have joined the RT since the "pause", agreeing on leadership from within the current membership, working on resolving concerns around membership and scope, and, last but not least, identifying ways for the RT to reach consensus.

To that end, we are making plans to schedule a three (3)-day face to face (F2F) facilitated session (facilitator is soon to be confirmed), which is to take place at ICANN org’s Brussels office. Currently, we are looking into possible meeting dates such that they avoid all major holidays and other ongoing meetings (e.g. IETF, DNS Symposium, etc.) with ample time for you to plan ahead and for us to make reasonable travel accommodations for you.

Soon, you will be receiving a doodle poll offering multiple possible dates for this F2F meeting. Please select as many options as possible. If you have any restrictions or constraints, in terms of timing, etc., please do not hesitate to reach out to us and let us know (you may contact us via ssr2-staff@icann.org).

I look forward to working with you, all, once again.

Kind regards,

--
