Subject: GNSO and Constituency Input on HSTLD and ZFA Advisory Group Materials

 

Dear GNSO Councilors and Constituency Members,

 

The HSTLD (High Security TLD) and ZFA (Zone File Access) Advisory Groups seek your input by 8 April on their respective papers that were posted for public comment on 22 February. The papers and comment forum information are available at http://www.icann.org/en/announcements/announcement-22feb10-en.htm. Further, ICANN staff supporting these groups are available upon request to provide you with a brief presentation about the work. Please feel free to contact Craig Schwartz at [log in to unmask] to schedule a ZFA presentation or Andy Welch at [log in to unmask] for a HSTLD presentation.

 

The work of these temporary, expert Advisory Groups is being done to develop solution(s) to the new gTLD program’s overarching issue of mitigating malicious conduct. These groups were formed following the 3 December 2009 announcement (see, http://www.icann.org/en/announcements/announcement-03dec09-en.htm) soliciting participants.

 

Additional information on HSTLD may be found at http://www.icann.org/en/topics/new-gtlds/hstld-program-en.htm and ZFA at http://www.icann.org/en/topics/new-gtlds/zone-file-access-en.htm. 

 

Thank you,
