Rationale  

The Affirmation of Commitments (AoC) between ICANN and the U.S. Department of Commerce commits ICANN to preserve the security, stability and resiliency of the DNS, and to organize a community review of its execution of this commitment no less frequently than every three years. The AoC further commits ICANN's Board to publish for public comment the report submitted by the review team, and to take action on the report within six months of its submission.

The Team's volunteer members were appointed by ICANN's CEO and the GAC Chair, per the AoC requirements, and reflected the broad Internet community's interests in Internet security, stability and resiliency matters. Over the past 19 months, the SSR Review Team conducted fact-finding, including meetings with ICANN's relevant Supporting Organizations and Advisory Committees, members of the broader Internet security community, and other interested parties, and issued a draft report for public comment before submitting its Final Report to the Board on 20 June 2012. The Report was posted for two months of public comment and the forum closed on 29 August 2012.

Most of the Team's Recommendations address matters relevant to, and/or of interest toI CANN's Supporting Organizations and Advisory Committees. The Board is requesting input from these groups to help inform the Board's action on the Report.
