*Brief Overview:*

On 25 January 2021, the second Security, Stability, and Resiliency (SSR2)
Review Team submitted its final report
<https://newsalerts.icann.org/hPg2H0R00C0002dqN020Ex8> to the ICANN Board.
The report is now issued for Public Comment to inform Board action on the
SSR2 Review Team's final recommendations.

The SSR Review is a Specific Review mandated by ICANN's Bylaws (Article 4,
Section 4.6 <https://newsalerts.icann.org/kC0yP0N00qg02Rd2820I00E>) to
review *"ICANN's execution of its commitment to enhance the operational
stability, reliability, resiliency, security, and global interoperability
of the systems and processes, both internal and external, that directly
affect and/or are affected by the Internet's system of unique identifiers
that ICANN coordinates."* Specific Reviews
<https://newsalerts.icann.org/y2qC82gN0d0PERJ00z00020> are crucial to the
legitimacy and accountability of ICANN. Specific Reviews serve as ICANN's
progress report to the world and demonstrate how ICANN delivers on its
commitments and identifies areas where it can improve. Specific Reviews are
conducted by members of the stakeholder community who look at past
processes, actions, and outcomes in order to make recommendations to
improve future performance.

The SSR2 Review Team Final Report
<https://newsalerts.icann.org/hPg2H0R00C0002dqN020Ex8> contains 63 full
consensus recommendations in the following areas:

   - SSR1 implementation and intended effects;
   - Key stability issues within ICANN;
   - Contracts, compliance, and transparency around Domain Name System
   (DNS) abuse; and
   - Additional SSR-related concerns regarding the global DNS.

The SSR2 Review Team considered comments received on its draft report
<https://newsalerts.icann.org/p0000C02AE020KNRdP0g8q2> and amended its
report as it deemed appropriate. Appendix H
<https://newsalerts.icann.org/p0000C02BE020LNRdP0g8q2> of the SSR2 Final
Report contains the SSR2 Review Team's response to the public comments.

The SSR2 Review Team will host a webinar on 11 February 2021 at 15:00 UTC
to brief the community on its final recommendations. Please see the wiki
page <https://newsalerts.icann.org/f00qd0P08M002R22CNECg00> for webinar
details.

Per the Bylaws (Section 4.6(a)(vii)(C))
<https://newsalerts.icann.org/kC0yP0N00qg02Rd2820I00E> the Board shall
consider the final report within six months of receipt, i.e., by 25 July
2021. The Board will consider the Public Comment submissions received as
well as a feasibility analysis and impact assessment of the implementation
of recommendations, which will take into account initial cost and resource
estimates and dependencies with other ongoing efforts within the community.
The Board will then direct implementation of the recommendations that were
approved subject to planning, scheduling, and prioritization, and provide
written rationale for any recommendations that are not approved.

*About ICANN*

ICANN’s mission is to help ensure a stable, secure, and unified global
Internet. To reach another person on the Internet, you need to type an
address – a name or a number – into your computer or other device. That
address must be unique so computers know where to find each other. ICANN
helps coordinate and support these unique identifiers across the world.
ICANN was formed in 1998 as a not-for-profit public-benefit corporation
with a community of participants from all over the world.
