Dear all,

The ICANN SSR Subgroup had a very productive two-day, fact-finding
meeting at ICANN headquarter. The subgroup met with a number of ICANN
staff subject matter experts (SME) 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 ToR 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 will update its contribution to the SSR2 work plan and post
more fulsome documentation of how the subgroup’s work has advanced and
issues that we’re preparing to bring to the full SSR2 Team for
consideration. Note that some topics/discussions will be
cross-referenced for other SSR2 subgroups (e.g. Security Framework and
emerging threats apply to the Future Challenges Subgroup).

Meanwhile, here’s a high-level summary of the fact-finding meeting. 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 Domain 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, data
breaches, 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).


As rapporteur and member of the subgroup ICANN SSR I would like to thank
all SSRT2 members, ICANN staff and SME's for investing their time,
preparing and attend at the meeting in LA.

Thank you very much  - we have taken a significant step forward in our
subgroup and our related topics.


Best regrads,

	- Boban.
