[council] Motion on the Final Report of the joint DNS Security and Stability Analysis (DSSA) working group

[Mike O'Connor]

hi Chuck,

i think the answer is "yes and no."  no, there are no specific requirements laid out that require formal action by the GNSO Council.  

but there is much that is suggested in this report which could lead to a variety of GNSO-sponsored activities.  the project team was becalmed by the Board's DNS Risk Management Framework project.  as a result, the DSSA didn't complete its charter, which was to actually *assess* the risks facing the DNS.  we were about to get started on that, but lost about a year while we waited for the Board work to complete.  the combination of losing momentum and conflicting recommendations from the Board project made it very hard to imagine a way for the DSSA group to complete its work.

as recent events have shown, we have plenty of room to improve the way that ICANN (the community and the corporation) manage risk.  in that respect my answer to your question is "absolutely yes."  but i don't know the best way to proceed from here.

> 2.         In October 2011 the ICANN Board of Directors established the Board DNS Risk Management Framework Working Group (DNS RMF WG), with the objective to oversee the development of a risk management framework and system for the DNS as it pertains to ICANN's role as defined in the ICANN Bylaws.
> 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 and informed 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.
> 4.         The co-chairs of the DSSA WG have send a letter to the chairs of each of the participating stakeholder organizations to submit the Final Report and the work products contained in it (available at: http://ccnso.icann.org/workinggroups/dssa-final-08nov13-en.pdf) .  
> 5.         The DSSA recommends the acceptance of the Final Report and further recommends that the Final Report be disseminated to the ccTLD’s for their consideration.  
> 6.         Upon adoption of the Final report of the DSSA, and notification of adoption to the co-chairs of the DSSA, the working group will be closed.
