I’m glad Ram is seeking an NCSG perspective on this critical topic. Since I will be participating remotely, we will need a representative on the ground to bring these points to the discussion.My rough thoughtResilience should not be merely a technical checkbox; it must be a fundamental safeguard for the global public interest. In an era of escalating environmental fragility ranging from systemic failures to software supply-chain risks, the survivability of the Internet and the DNS is directly linked to the protection of non-commercial communication and human rights.We believe resilience must be a baseline guarantee, not a luxury service. If the costs or technical complexities of surviving systemic shocks create a security divide, we risk a centralized Internet where only the most well-funded commercial entities remain visible and viable.Furthermore, true policy resilience requires a steadfast commitment to the bottom-up, multistakeholder model. This is the only governance framework that truly reflects the lived realities of global end-users. As external regulatory pressures intensify, ICANN’s unique role is to defend a unified, simple, and interoperable DNS against fragmentation. Every layer of policy complexity introduced or influenced by regulation or government represents a new point of fragility. The ICANN Policy Development Process must ensure the Internet remains a robust and permissionless resource for all. The shift from stability to survivability must be a collective effort that prioritizes transparency and equity. We must move beyond silos to understand the cascading impacts that DNS failures have on the non-profit entities that rely on them. The NCSG advocates for a resilience framework that is rights-respecting by design, ensuring that the hidden dependencies we rely on are managed through accountable, multistakeholder oversight. By grounding our resilience strategies in these core values, we ensure the Internet remains not just stable, but truly survivable for the diverse communities it serves.-- Best regardsTaiwo Peter Akinremi------ ------ -------  ------ ------ -------  ------ ------ ------- ------ ------ -------  ------ ------Phd Candidate | Principal & Executive Consultant, CSNEmail: compsoftnet at gmail.com, p-taiwo at compsoftnet.com.ng___________________________________________
