Here is a list of the 12 Recommendations presented in the 2010 ROGUCCI 1 Report. More summary information for each Recommendation can be found in the Executive Summary (Section 1) of the Report, while the full detailed presentation of the Recommendations can be found in Section 5, which includes the Purpose, Background, the concise actionable Recommendation Statement, Required Commitments, Benefits of Implementing the Recommendation, Alternative Approaches to the Recommendations and Their Consequences, Next Steps, and Measures of Success.
Stakeholders for highly reliable and resilient international communications should actively promote the deployment of geographically separate cable paths to avoid current single points of failure, by serving as advocates to the nation-states controlling the lands and waters for potential alternative, diverse paths.
Nation-state governments should implement policies and procedures to provide timely approval to authorized cable ships seeking permission to repair damaged undersea communications cables.
Nation-state governments should cooperate with each other and private sector undersea communications cable infrastructure owners and operators to develop maritime crisis preparedness plans that would protect communications cable vessels that are vital to the operation of global undersea communications cable infrastructure.
The private sector should establish formal means for sharing information that can improve the protection and rapid restoration of undersea communications cable infrastructure.
The private sector should establish a new international governance framework for global undersea communications cable infrastructure to provide optimum support for its resilience through cross-sector coordination and effectively support stakeholder interests.
The international financial sector should introduce a new core standard for its information and communications technology dependence that will include guidance on assuring institutional resilience and managing the operational risk associated with undersea communications cable infrastructure.
The private sector should establish a method of providing basic reliability performance statistics to stakeholders.
Nation-state governments should implement best practices for protecting undersea communications cables within their sovereign waters.
Nation-state governments and the private sector should establish a best practice model for undersea communications cable inter-agency coordination to ensure consistent policies and practices.
The undersea communications cable industry should begin an outreach campaign that provides appropriate education to government and other stakeholders regarding GUCCI function in the stability of their operations.
Network operators, service providers and stakeholders should develop and implement agreed upon mechanisms for handling traffic overload conditions for undersea communications cable infrastructure.
Subject Matter Experts and Stakeholders should prepare for the worst-case scenario of a catastrophic loss of global undersea communications infrastructure by identifying best available alternatives and operational procedures. Preparation should include scientific and engineering research for long-term solutions.
