3. At the time the DSSA published its draft Report Phase 1 (August 2012), the DSSA went into hibernation to avoid overlap with the work of the Board DNS RMF and noted andinformed the participating SO's and AC's that in order to reflect the changed environment and working method, the charter of the DSSA would need to be updated to reflect these changes;

The co-chairs of the DSSA WG have sent a letter (http://gnso.icann.org/en/correspondence/dssa-to-so-ac-chairs-09nov13-en.pdf) to the chairs of each of the participating stakeholder organizations to submit the Final Report and the work products contained in it (http://ccnso.icann.org/workinggroups/dssa-final-08nov13-en.pdf). This letter outlines the reasons the co-chairs recommend not proceeding with phase 2;
