ICANN ICANN's Technical Study Group on the DNS Security Facilitation Initiative

[ICANN Content]

The DNS Security Facilitation Initiative (DSFI) Technical Study Group (TSG) was formed to investigate mechanisms to strengthen collaboration and communication on security and stability issues related to the Domain Name System (DNS). The TSG explored ideas around what ICANN can and should be doing to increase the level of collaboration and engagement with DNS ecosystem stakeholders to improve the security profile for the DNS.
