How does SSAC work?
SSAC conducts ongoing threat assessment and risk analysis for Internet allocation services to determine which are viable threats and how these threats could influence the stability of the Internet. SSAC advises the ICANN community based on the results of these assessments.
In order to fulfill its objective to advise ICANN, SSAC develops comments, reports and advisories on the issues which may concern the Internet community.
- Reports are documents which contain substantive information and are developed in a few months' time. The reports represent a well-structured and in-depth analysis concerning a specific topic or issue, and includes recommendations for ICANN.
- Comments are the responses received based on the reports created by ICANN groups or other eligible organizations. These comments are usually supplied to public calls.
- Advisories are concise documents containing useful and clear advice for ICANN and the Internet community. The advisories supply recommendations and solutions for problems and ways to reduce risks and threats. [5]
