Agenda for ICANN Community and Board Meetings
Updated 11 November 2001
Details for the agenda are being posted as soon as they become available.
The purposes for the meeting will be to conduct an in-depth examination of security requirements related to the Internet's domain name and address allocation systems, the extent to which these requirements are currently being met, and what individual, organizational and collective actions are needed to create a security environment for the domain name and address allocation systems that assures their continued operation under emergency conditions. More specifically, the meeting will seek to:
(a) improve the knowledge base and heighten awareness about DNS security by ICANN constituents and the broader public, (b) develop and adopt suggestions for security improvements by all DNS service providers, including registries, registrars, and nameserver operators, (c) develop recommendations to the ICANN Board for any near-term actions by ICANN that may be advisable, and
(d) launch continuing efforts to assess and improve security and readiness across the defined scope of ICANN's activities and communities.
The program is intended to strike a balance between the managerial and the technical aspects of DNS security, and also to stay within the scope of ICANN's responsibilities for the stability and integrity of the domain name and address allocation systems.
The program will feature plenary speakers, topic-specific panels, parallel sessions focusing on management and operational/technical considerations, cross-community breakout groups, and constituency meetings. At the end of the program, representatives of ICANN constituent groups will be asked to make reports to the community.
A page of relevant background readings has been posted. A public list of preregistered attendees (listing those who chose to be included) is also available. So far, we have received pre-registrations from 84 countries and distinct economies.
