Meeting Summary

The ICANN SSR Subgroup had a very productive two-day, fact-finding meeting at ICANN headquarters in Los Angeles. The subgroup met with a number of ICANN staff subject matter experts and discussed a range of issues relating to the completeness and effectiveness of ICANN’s security processes and the effectiveness of the ICANN security framework (including activities connected to the SSR2 Terms of Reference and implementation of SSR1 recommendations). Topics were covered to varying degrees of detail as warranted; some topics were covered sufficiently and some will require follow-on discussions.

The subgroup reviewed, submitted questions & information requests about, and discussed early observations about:

ICANN’s Security Framework and emerging threats
ICANN’s Risk Management Framework
ICANN’s Business Continuity strategies, objectives, plans and procedures
ICANN’s operational planning and controls, and prioritized activity recovery strategy
ICANN’s Incident Response Structure
ICANN’s root server operations
ICANN’s Global Domains Division activities that relate to SSR objectives, including:
- New gTLD program SSR-related safeguards
- Emergency Back-End Registry Operator (EBERO), and related processes, and testing
- Registry Data Escrow (RyDE) program and Data Escrow Agents (DEA)
- Centralized Zone Data Service (CZDS) compliance, failures, plans
- Vetting of registrar and registry operators as relates to SSR, and measurement & impact of malicious conduct by contracted parties, databreaches, etc.
- SLA Monitoring System (SLAM)
- Abuse reports, including SADAG and DAAR (Statistical Analysis of DNS Abuse & Domain Abuse Activity Reporting)
- SSR objectives in ICANN’S standard operating procedures (SOP).

Meeting Details

How Effective Are ICANN’s Internal Security, Stability, and Resiliency (SSR) Processes?

Join members of the ‘ICANN SSR’ sub-team of volunteers from the Second Security, Stability, and Resiliency Review Team (SSR2) as they explore this question and others at their upcoming face-to-face meeting. The sub-team meeting will take place on 9 – 10 October in Los Angeles.

At the meeting, members of the ICANN organization will brief the sub-team and answer questions on topics including:

ICANN’s business continuity management system
ICANN’s operation processes and services
New generic top-level domain delegation and transition processes

The ICANN SSR sub-team is aiming to present draft findings to the SSR2 at ICANN60 in Abu Dhabi. For more information on the ICANN SSR sub-team, visit the wiki page.
