<DIV>Dear Stephane, </DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>You may be aware that there has been a recent threat of a future
attack against the root-server system purporting to originate from the
group Anonymous.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>ICANN takes all threats against DNS infrastructure seriously, as is
consistent with our technical coordination role, our role as operator of
the L Root server, and ICANN's mission to maintain the stable and secure
operation of the Internet's unique identifier systems.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>We are tracking the threat and collaborating with others in the
industry and greater community to ensure we are prepared. These
efforts are being led by Jeff Moss, ICANN's Chief Security Officer.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>We are writing to ask you, in your role as Chair of the GNSO, if
there is any advice or information that you or your members wish to share
on this specific threat. If you have information concerning the
threat, or if you have any questions, please contact Jeff Moss at <A
href="mailto:jeffrey.moss@icann.org">jeffrey.moss@icann.org</A>.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: Calibri; FONT-SIZE: medium"
class=Apple-style-span>We will update you with relevant information as we
receive it.</SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: Calibri; FONT-SIZE: medium"
class=Apple-style-span><BR></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV>Sincerely, </DIV>
