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

We use the European Commission's EUsurvey tool, configured not to log IP
