UN Group of Governmental Experts (GGE) on ICT and international security should pause the development of new norms and confidence building measures related to state behavour in cyberspace, and should instead focus on ensuring that the states implement the already defined ones, the US delegate to the UN GGE and deputy coordinator for cyber issues in the Office of the Coordinator for Cyber Affairs at the US Department of State stated at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace event. Markoff also evaluated the US-Russia cyber-relations as a bright spot, and commented that Russia has not breached the agreed GGE norms in case of alleged cyber-attack against power grid in Ukraine since the norms apply in peacetime, rather than during the conflicts.
