All,<br>
<br>
As you may be aware, ICANN has an open comment period on two proposals related to DNS security posted to its web site:<br>
<br>
1. Proposed Strategic Initiatives for Improved DNS Security, Stability and Resiliency (SSR)<br>
<<a href="http://www.icann.org/en/public-comment/#strat-ini-ssr" target="_blank">http://www.icann.org/en/public-comment/#strat-ini-ssr</a>><br>
<br>
2. Global DNS-CERT Business Case<br>
<<a href="http://www.icann.org/en/public-comment/#dns-cert" target="_blank">http://www.icann.org/en/public-comment/#dns-cert</a>><br>
<br>
Also, at the recent Nairobi meeting, ICANN President and CEO Rod Beckstrom made a statement to the GAC about the state of DNS Security, where he said (in part):<br>
<br>
"What I want to share with you as representatives of many Governments of the world is that the DNS is under attack today as it has never been before... The DNS is more fragile and vulnerable today than it has ever been and it could stop at any given point in time, literally...."<br>
<br>
Attached is a letter that ISOC is proposing to send to the ICANN Board to express concern about these developments. I think you will find it self explanatory. While we are supporters of ICANN, and work closely with them on a broad range of issues, as friends we feel it is important to speak plainly when we think there are things they should consider more carefully in their work. The attached draft is meant in a spirit of constructive and collegial comment.<br>
<br>
Particularly because the proposal for a global DNS-CERT and the accompanying strategy may be of particular interest to you, I want to share the draft note and to seek your views on its content. Because the deadline for comments is April 14, 2010, I would really appreciate it if you can send me your comments as soon as possible, but not later than FRIDAY, APRIL 9, so I will have time to consider them as I put together the final version.<br>
<br>
Thank you in advance for your contributions to this effort.<br>
<br>
kind regards<br>
<br>
Bill<br>
