Dear members of the GNSO Community,

This is the final reminder for Volunteers for DNS Security and Stability
Analysis Working Group.
Please respond no later than COB 9 February 2011.

As you may recall, the GNSO Council has adopted the charter of the Joint
DNS Security and Stability Analysis Working Group (DSSA WG). The
objective of this working group is to:

.examine the level, frequency and severity of threats to the DNS;
.the current efforts and activities to mitigate these threats; and
.identify possible gaps in the current security response to DNS issues.
The Charter is available at
http://www.ccnso.icann.org/announcements/announcement-15nov10-en.htm

As this charter was also adopted by the ALAC and ccNSO and is in the
process of being adopted by the NRO, we are now calling for volunteers
from the GNSO community to join the DSSA WG.

If you would like to become a member of the DSSA WG, please note that
following membership criteria apply:

1) You should have knowledge or expertise of the objectives of the DSSA
Working Group as referenced in the charter.

and/or a Non-Disclosure Agreement. The WG might want to set up a
sub-working group to access confidential or proprietary information. If
you want to participate in such a sub-working group you will most likely
be be required to sign one or both of the aforementioned agreements in
order to ensure access to and protection of confidential information.
