Input request: Upcoming Meeting with ICANN CEO and w/ the ICANN Board at ICANN70

[farzaneh badii]

Thank you Bruna.

We can also discuss DNS abuse and ask the CEO about this initiative:
https://www.icann.org/news/blog/introducing-the-dns-security-facilitation-initiative-technical-study-group

This initiative was formed similar to the “strawberry tech group” in a
top-down manner and at the request of the CEO (I believe that is the case).
The group’s responsibilities are very expansive

And predictably, there is no digital rights scholar or advocate on this
team (not asking for NCSG rep but someone with at least some kind of
expertise in this area)

The CEO might tell you that this is a solely technical group. We have heard
this argument before. Unfortunately, a lot of these technical decisions are
entangled with policy matters as we saw at SSR2. Another assertion is that
this work is much broader than DNS abuse and doesn’t have much to do with
it.
Well, broader means inclusive of DNS abuse.

Note that the group’s meetings are not recorded. The group makes
recommendations to the CEO for consideration. We will have the chance to
“review” the recommendations which is a vague term. Review as in have a
look at it or actually comment on it.

One argument in support of this group is that the Board set the security
matters as a priority for the CEO and he is acting upon that. That is fine
but at least it would be good to have some observers from civil society to
monitor the process.
