[council] Fwd: Re: [soac-chairs] Statement from SO/AC Chairs on the suspension of the Security and Stability Review

[Heather Forrest]

Colleagues,

Final outcome of the SO/AC communication on SSR2 below. Safe travels home
to everyone!

H
Your interpretation is correct. The goal now is to unpause SSR2.

Please not that I do not have posting rights to the SSR2 list, so the
moderated message must be released or forwarded by someone with posting
rights.

   Best, Patrik

Thanks for forwarding, Patrick.

Could the SO/AC Chairs please clarify the SSR2’s status tonight as the SSR2
is meeting tomorrow morning.

My quick read of this indicates that SSR2 is still “paused” except that the
Team is to address “resolving the issues identified and discussed before
and during ICANN60 related to scope and skills.”  That takes the work plan
and other items off the table.

Thanks for clarifying.

Best
Denise

STATEMENT FROM SO/AC CHAIRS ON THE SUSPENSION OF THE SECURITY AND STABILITY
REVIEW

The Chairs of ICANN’s Supporting Organizations (SOs) and Advisory
Committees (ACs) acknowledge the 28 October 2017 announcement from the
Board of Directors, pausing the work of the Security, Stability and
Resiliency Review Team (SSR2-RT), and the Board's having tasked the SOs and
ACs in sessions this week with addressing concerns raised by the Board,
Organizational Effectiveness Committee (OEC), and the Security and
Stability Advisory Committee (SSAC).

Collectively, we accept responsibility for getting SSR2-RT restarted as
expeditiously as possible. During various sessions throughout ICANN60, our
groups have met with the Board and/or members of SSR2-RT to hear their
concerns. We intend to continue to consult with our respective communities,
and each other, to assess and address issues relating to the scope,
composition and participation, resource utilization, and overall work plan
of the Review.

Additionally, the Board’s unilateral decision to suspend the work of a key
accountability mechanism has raised questions that go to the independence
of SSR2-RT, and specific reviews going forward. As a follow-on effort, we
intend to examine the selection and scoping process for review teams, and
develop a clear and predictable process for raising and addressing concerns
about review teams. We also intend to carefully consider the Board's
action, with a view to preventing similar instances in the future. We look
forward to working collaboratively with the Board, SSR2-RT and the broader
community on this task.

The SO/AC Chairs support the SSR2 RT meeting on Friday, 3 November 2017,
and followup telephone conferences when needed. These are necessary so that
the team can work on resolving the issues identified and discussed before
and during ICANN60 related to scope and skills.

Finally, we wish to acknowledge the efforts of our colleagues on the
SSR2-RT to date, and thank them for their continued commitment towards
security, stability and resiliency.
