Survey on the impact of software regulation on DNS systems

[Victoria Risk]

Hello BIND users-

Did you know that there is significant momentum building to regulate software, including open source, in at least Europe and the US (and possibly elsewhere as well), in order to improve cybersecurity?  Do you think this regulation will improve cybersecurity for your operations? What are the opportunities and pitfalls you can envision?

Some of you use open source DNS implementations every day. Please take a few minutes to share any positive or negative impacts of regulation you anticipate on the infrastructure you support. Your comments will be summarized, and may be quoted directly (anonymously) in a report that the ICANN SSAC will provide to regulators and policy makers who are developing regulations for open source.

Thank you for taking the time to support this effort.

ICANN's Security and Stability Advisory Committee [1] is attempting to document the operational reliance on Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) in the Internet’s domain name infrastructure to inform policy discussions regarding the security of software and critical infrastructure.

Our work aims aim to clear up misinformed assumptions by regulators and policy makers that may threaten the FOSS development and supply model, impacting operators of the Internet’s domain and routing systems.

Our report will be published on the ICANN website [2], with a target publication date in June. The survey will be closed for new submissions at the end of February.

# What is SSAC?
The Security and Stability Advisory Committee advises the ICANN community and ICANN Board on security and integrity matters related to Internet naming and address systems. We perform ongoing threat assessment and risk analysis to assess principal threats to stability and security of these systems.
SSAC publications are available from https://www.icann.org/en/ssac/publications
