The SSAC is a diverse group of individuals whose expertise in specific subject matters enables the SSAC to fulfill its charter and execute its mission. Since its inception, the SSAC has invited individuals with deep knowledge and experience in technical and security areas that are critical to the security and stability of the Internet's domain name system.
The SSAC's continued operation as a competent body is dependent on the accrual of talented subject matter experts who have consented to volunteer their time and energies to the execution of the SSAC mission. Greg brings expertise on abuse and impacts that currently are not covered completely in the SSAC membership. In addition, Greg contributed on the work party for SAC048: SSAC Comment on the Orphan Glue Records in the Draft Applicant Guidebook.

In that capacity he has contributed to many SSAC reports, discussions, and work parties. In particular, Lyman was a key contributor to the SSAC's recommendations on root scaling.
