ICANN has appointed IID President and CTO Rod Rasmussen to its Security and Stability Advisory Committee (SSAC).

An area that Rasmussen's work and recent SSAC reports have both covered in-depth is domain name hijacking. Recent hijackings against UFC.com and Coach.com, and similar past attacks against CheckFree, Comcast and Twitter have heightened awareness about the security dangers with the Internet's infrastructure.
