4th International Forum

"Partnership of State Authorities, Civil Society and the Business Community
in Ensuring Information Security and Combating Terrorism"

Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany

George Sadowsky
12 April 2010

Good morning, ladies and gentlemen.

I would first like to thank the Institute for Information Security Issues
(IISI) for this invitation, and I thank equally our local host, Moscow
State University.

We'd like to specially thank Col. Gen. Sherstyuk for his personal
involvement in the field of cyber-security, and for his commitment to build
relations between IISI and ICANN, including his meeting together with Mr.
Andrey Krutskih and ICANN's President and CEO Rod Beckstrom in Washington,
DC, in November 2009.

I would also like to convey special greetings from Mr. Beckstrom to
Vladislav Petrovich Sherstyuk, and to all participants. Rod unfortunately
was not able to come to Garmisch this year, but has been in touch with the
Russian Internet community in Seoul, Sharm el Sheikh, Nairobi, and the
United States, and has sent a special letter to Vladislav Petrovich.

We are glad that ICANN is participating for third consecutive year in the
Garmisch meeting, and we are pleased to see that the Memorandum of
Understanding (MoU) we signed here in 2008 has managed to start improving
not only the relations between ICANN and the Russian Federation, but it has
also contributed to the overall improvement of the global dialogue in the
field of cybersecurity.

Ladies and gentlemen,

Since our meeting last year, some significant new developments have taken
place between ICANN and Russia.

The Russian Federation has joined the ICANN's Governmental Advisory
Committee, and the Russian .ru ccTLD applied for a Cyrillic top level
domain, .rf - .вЦ in Cyrillic. Mr. Andrei Kolesnikov was elected as a
Councilor in the GNSO council, and we have had a number of meetings with
Russian experts as well as mid-level and top level officials in places
including Slovenia, Belarus, Russia, Korea, and Kenya.

We have achieved a lot, but it is only the beginning. We are expecting to
soon have the Russian IDN ccTLD registered, we are expecting to see more
Russians engage in the work that ICANN does.

As you no doubt know, ICANN has responsibility for coordinating the
allocation and assignment of the three sets of unique identifiers for the
Internet. They are (1) Domain names, (2) Internet protocol ("IP")
addresses and autonomous system ("AS") numbers; and (3) Protocol port and
parameter numbers. ICANN also coordinates the operation and evolution of
the DNS root name server system, as well as coordinating policy development
reasonably and appropriately related to these technical functions.

ICANN has in its bylaws a set of broad core values that provide useful and
relevant guidance in executing its mission. The first such core value is
to preserve and enhance the operational stability, reliability, security,
and global interoperability of the Internet. It is with this core value in
mind that we play a role in global cyber-security, and it is why we believe
that supporting and participating in this series of meetings is essential
as a part of our role in supporting and maintaining the Internet ecosystem.

To this end, ICANN has played a role over the last ten years in
contributing to security and stability of the Domain Name System, or DNS.
The DNS is essential for supporting many Internet functions, including use
of the World Wide Web and e-mail.

ICANN and the associated operators of the DNS have recognized and
acknowledged that maintaining and enhancing the security and stability of
services is a core element of their relationship. This principle is
highlighted in the system of contracts and agreements between ICANN and
these operators that depend on the distinctive nature of the relationships,
specific roles and mutual responsibilities of each organization. These
collaborative efforts and their implementation provide confidence that
unique identifiers and the organizations that provide them across the globe
will ensure security, stability and resiliency through a coordinated,
cooperative system.

Currently, ICANN has a number of important initiatives underway in this
area. ICANN is playing in a central role in enabling the deployment of
DNSSEC, a crucial technical augmentation of the DNS that helps to ensure
that its operation cannot be corrupted. Building on existing efforts to
ensure the security of top level domains, ICANN is striving to make sure
that as new top level domains (TLDs) are added to the DNS, measures are in
place to combat the use of the system for malicious purposes. ICANN is
working with regional associations and the Internet Society in a global
training program that is raising the security awareness and skills of those
DNS operators in regions where resources for such training are limited.
Finally, ICANN is collaborating vigorously with those who operate the DNS
to coordinate with those in the cyber security community in responding to
emerging threats that may exploit the DNS, such as the Conficker worm.

ICANN has made enhancing the security, stability and resiliency of the DNS
a major focus of its strategic planning. We regard collaboration with
organizations such as IISI, and participation in events like this, as an
essential part of succeeding in these efforts. We have been informed about
the initiative of IISI to create an International Information Security
Research Consortium, which might mark a new phase in the field of
international cooperation on cyber issues. We received an invitation to
join the Consortium. Due to time management issues, the ICANN Board has not
yet reviewed the proposal, but we will be examining it seriously. In
principle, we have always encouraged initiatives for increased
international cooperation among all our stakeholders. ICANN is, as you
know, based on a multi-stakeholder approach - governments, businesses,
individuals, and not-for-profit organizations all participate equally in
the ICANN process. We welcome any initiative by IISI that includes all
stakeholders in such a consortium for the purposes of enhancing cyber-
security,

With respect to the Internet Governance Forum (IGF) ICANN has formally
supported its series of annual meetings, and ICANN staff and members of the
ICANN community have actively participated in both the planning and the
execution of these events. We support the continuation of the IGF beyond
2010 as an effective instrument for multi-stakeholder discussion of all
aspects of Internet governance. We believe especially that the non-binding
nature of the IGF provides a unique environment in which such issues can be
discussed openly and freely, without any pressure to converge on
recommendations or issue official statements.

In fact, the global IGF has spawned a number of regional and national IGFs.
We believe that this is a very good development, since many if not most
Internet governance issues either have a national component or are really
mostly regional or national issues. Regional and national IGFs can address
such issues directly with greater focus, and with a greater probability of
achieving useful understanding. In this respect, I note that the Russian
Federation will hold its first national IGF next month.

Our work with the Russian Federation is measured by different successes.
Last November the Russian ccTLD applied for a top level domain in Cyrillic,
the .rf (.вЦ). Next month we are going to participate in the first ever
Russian Internet Governance Forum, and I am very pleased that I will be one
of the participants at that event.

In conclusion, ICANN is committed to continue enhancing its cooperation
with Russia, and with the Russian Internet community. In turn, we are
hopeful that representatives from Russia will continue to participate in
ICANN's work at all levels. You are most welcome to join with us.

I am looking forward to the next few days of discussions and talks.

Thank you very much.
