The ICANN SSR Subgroup had a very productive two-day, fact-finding meeting at ICANN headquarters. The subgroup met with a number of ICANN staff subject matter experts  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). The subgroup will update its contribution to the SSR2 workplan 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.

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.
