Public Comment: Security & Stability Advisory Committee (SSAC) Retreat

18 August 2009
ICANN's Security & Stability Advisory Committee (SSAC) is proposing to
hold a
retreat 30 September - 1 October 2009. The retreat would inform SSAC
members,
and help the committee prioritize its activities and prepare a work
plan. SSAC
would appreciate receiving input on the proposed retreat, including
substantive
items you think merit SSAC attention. 

In particular, SSAC requests comments on the proposed topics for the
retreat: 

1) SSAC Operations and Coordination 

SSAC Charter, Member Roles, Workflow 
SSAC Review Outcomes, Engagement with ICANN Bodies 
2) Substantive/Informational Issues 

Registrant Protection & Abusive Behavior 
DNS as an Attack Vector 
SSAC/ICANN Role in Routing 
Root Server System Robustness & its Future 
Security & Stability of the Internet (Gaming & Structural Issues with
ICANN
Rules) 
In addition, to assist the SSAC in long-term planning and operational
efficiencies, SSAC solicits comments on other issues that might be
useful to
discuss in depth at the retreat. The SSAC welcomes these and other
comments on
the proposed retreat. 

The Process from Here

SSAC will review and consider the comments submitted as part of its
final
planning and retreat proposal.
