[rssac-caucus] Identifying enterprise risks for ICANN.

[Lars-Johan Liman]

Dear caucus members,

First my best wishes for 2015. I hope your year is coming along
beautifully and that will get even better!

I've received a request from a sub-group of ICANN's Board of Directors -
its Board Risk Committee - to help identifying what enterprise risks
ICANN is facing and how to assess them. This is not food enough for a
formal work party, but I and the BRC would welcome your thoughts on
this. Per the appended letter, the BRC wants to receive input before the
ICANN meeting in Singapore. If you have any thoughts on this matter,
please let's hear them on this mailing list before Jan 31, so that we
can collect them and compile them as a collected response to the BRC
before the deadline.

So ... what comes to mind?

				Cheers,
				  /Liman

# Letter from BRC:

Dear SO/AC/SG:
 
The Board Risk Committee (BRC) is tasked to provide oversight and guidance
into enterprise risk identification and remediation for ICANN. ICANN has
developed a risk management framework and methodology that is used to
identify, mitigate and monitor risks.
 
The purpose of this email is to reach out to you, the SO/AC/SG  Leadership,
to ask your group to identify what it believes are the top five
enterprise-wide risks to ICANN. This feedback process allows us to calibrate
and evaluate risks identified internally with those identified by the
community.
 
We envision a response as an enumerated list of the top five enterprise
risks that your SO or AC group believes ought to be ICANN¹s top priorities.
 
We ask to provide a written response via email by 5 February 2015. We
anticipate discussion on these identified risks in the SO/AC Constituency
meetings with the Board during ICANN 52 in Singapore. Please send all
written responses directly to Enterprise-Risk at ICANN.Org
<mailto:Enterprise-Risk at ICANN.Org> .


We understand that you may not have the time to develop a formal response
from your SO or AC group. In that case, we would appreciate you providing us
with your own personal views or those of a small sub-set of your SO or AC
group, but please let us know if you have done so. We will iterate the
process to improve it and comments on possible improvements are most
welcome. 
 
Again, thank you in advance and we look forward to your input.
 
Regards,
Mike Silber & Ram Mohan
ICANN Board Risk Committee Co-Chairs
