The Anti-Phishing Working Group will hold a session during ICANN 51 in Los Angeles regarding the STOP. THINK. CONNECT. cybersecurity awareness campaign. The SSR Team would like to invite all members of the community, including gTLD and ccTLD registries, registrars, the private sector, government representatives, academic researchers, NGOs and all others to attend and consider joining the initiative as well.

Date: Wed, 15 October 2014 - 16:30 to 17:45 PDT
Room: Pacific Palisades

"The STOP. THINK. CONNECT. Messaging Convention has embarked upon a campaign to establish the STOP. THINK. CONNECT. cybersecurity awareness messaging suite as a hemisphere-wide campaign, leveraging initial adoption by nation-states in North America, Central America and South America.

"The Messaging Convention was established in 2010 to unify online safety awareness with a common slogan - STOP.THINK.CONNECT. - and a universally recognized logo. The campaign has been adopted by national government agencies and group in the USA, Canada, Malaysia, Japan, Uruguay, Panama and Paraguay and the Convention joined with the Organization of American States in 2012 to promote the campaign among its member states, of which there are 35 independent nations.

Working from these early adoptions in the Western Hemisphere and the membership networks of the APWG and co-founder, NCSA, the Convention proposes the consolidation of national cybersecurity awareness messaging campaigns into a hemispheric effort that would provide transborder resonance and unparalleled efficiency in delivering the campaign's essential messages."
