The recommendations were finalized in light of the feedback received on the Review Team's draft report [PDF, 1.13 MB] via the online public comment process.
Section II: Background
Over the past 19 months, the Security, Stability & Resiliency of the DNS Review Team engaged in extensive outreach to communities within and outside of ICANN. The Final Report draws from fact-finding efforts, analysis of key documents, as well as from interviews conducted with experts. The input received from Supporting Organizations, Advisory Committees and constituencies via public comment periods, public forums and individual meetings also was factored into the Review's Team work.

  1. Re-Write by Julie Hammer to avoid ambiguities in the language:

    The ALAC acknowledges the comprehensive work done by the Stability, Security and Resiliency of the DNS Review Team (SSR-RT) in analyzing the extent to which ICANN is fulfilling its commitment to enhance operational stability, reliability, resiliency, security and global interoperability of the Domain Name System (“DNS”). The ALAC notes that the Final Report and its Recommendations have not changed substantially in its meaning or intent, but has taken note of comments and suggestions provided as feedback from the ICANN Community, and as a result has refined the wording of some recommendations. 

     

    The ALAC congratulates the Chair, Dr Alejandro Pisanty, and all members of the Review Team on the quality of this valuable work and thanks them for their time and efforts.  We look forward to working with the ICANN Community to implement its recommendations.

     

  2. Also good to know that the final report will be translated into the 5 UN languages so that more people can read it.

     

    Thanks
