Kenji Kosaka, Japan's Senior Vice Minister for Public Management, Home Affairs, Posts and Telecommunications today gave the opening keynote at the annual meeting of the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN). Originally slated as a forum to address ICANN governance, the meeting, which is being held this week in Marina Del Rey, Calif., was refocused to address Internet security in the wake of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. "I was unpleasantly surprised to learn that ICANN decided to hold a meeting focused on the security of the Internet only after the tragic events of September 11," Kosaka said in prepared remarks. "As an Internet user, I had assumed that this theme and related issues had been fully resolved ages ago. "As the role and importance of the Internet has changed, it is becoming more and more important to secure the safety security and stability of the Internet as an integral part of the social infrastructure," Kosaka added. In his remarks, Kosaka praised the U.S. Government for handing over management of the Internet's addressing system to the not-for-profit ICANN in the late 1990s. Kosaka also voiced support for ICANN's decision-making process and the addressing policies that have been enacted to date by the body Kosaka said that ICANN must play a key role in securing the systems that lie at the heart of the Internet's addressing apparatus. "I would like to help establish a secure Internet through participating in the ICANN process as an Internet user. Just like all other governments, the Japanese government also has full confidence in and high expectations for ICANN's efforts to operate a stable Internet," Kosaka. Kosaka made few specific recommendations for securing the DNS. ICANN officials say that they plan to hear this week from a bevy of Internet security experts and hope to get a "status check" on the security of the DNS and what, if anything, ICANN must do to improve security. ICANN officials have said that they do not necessarily plan to enact any major new policies this week. Reported by Newsbytes.com, http://www.newsbytes.com . 12:34 CST ------------------------ Yahoo!
