This sets in motion the implementation process for the next round of new generic top-level domain (gTLD) applications. The Board directed the ICANN Organization to deliver a comprehensive implementation plan by 1 August 2023, pending the satisfactory completion of four deliverables from the Community by 15 June.

More than 1,200 people attended in person, and more than 800 joined virtually.

I would especially like to thank everyone for fostering an overwhelmingly positive and collegial environment, in which we were able to make real progress toward our shared goals. The ICANN community, Board, and organization advanced the discussion of and policymaking around the most pressing issues that ICANN is facing, including Domain Name System (DNS) abuse, the future of technical Internet governance, and the next round of new gTLD applications.

The GA convened 40 representatives from At-Large Structures in the Latin America and Caribbean (LAC) region. The program included a panel on the LAC impact on ICANN, a session on data protection, and a session on strengthening member knowledge of ICANN, At-Large, and LACRALO. The LACRALO members also met with ICANN’s regional Global Stakeholder Engagement team to discuss outreach and engagement plans. Participants are finalizing a statement titled “Reconnect, Re-Evolve, and Re-Impulse.”

By Sarmad Hussain, Senior Director IDN and UA Programs

ICANN is working with stakeholders around the world to achieve a multilingual and inclusive Internet through Universal Acceptance (UA), which ensures that all valid domain names and email addresses are accepted equally by all Internet-enabled applications, devices, and systems. As UA adoption has grown, it has become increasingly important to focus on measuring UA progress and challenges to identify where resources and support are needed most.

That is why ICANN recently conducted two surveys to assess the UA-readiness of key stakeholder groups and published reports of the results. The first report, “UA Readiness Survey Report – Contracted Parties and Registry Service Providers [r20.rs6.net]<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001X1mmtZxQSCuDDzb7DjAqHXq1qRVRLQTBeV1b_gNQlNlyWbvrnrvHEJPi1jC7ajFiHnLzrfjmCB6db5Rh82-tba49E3AsdFzH2SU3jZ0CloMWvc7D1A-eOFeoV-uDCrhBKrJto8eLDZt6J3T--LbmylMpacnVVNPNFAWpDqaYRT50JNYdnH6HGV27j6DV9bwOTTHHLNGXkwK8YMWEqeUxpQSxmOrk11qKIn1hMlCmeO2atM1JYrRXCw==&c=yUJJRS4fqESY9W4ivVfI6wKeR_-na3BC1FHp8LozksnjXu7pamHHhA==&ch=aPD6_9Lvi-cSjEYCuZcOghA34tPcx_d2yDTb4VJtqCXf6PbEnmQXFw==__;!!PtGJab4!5yYmzYsNH6He2nN8OnHT5i5LBLlYApBPoBw6ACbpds8LjlxSVHe3QCA5qKO56aMUiVM4xPOZdXDgeORkzPJKwTPiEJZh6C3R3xTlhCKljAY3xDWa$>,” examines the UA-readiness of registry operators, registrars, and registry service providers.

The forum will offer a closer look at the evolving DNS ecosystem and provide an opportunity for meaningful discussions among stakeholders and interested parties from the region and elsewhere.

This hybrid event will bring together industry experts, network and service providers, policymakers, and nongovernmental organizations to discuss the latest developments in areas relating to, or that may affect, the DNS, such as cybersecurity, the multilingual Internet, and relevant regulations and legislation. The forum also offers all participants an excellent opportunity for networking and collaboration.

DNSSEC ensures that the information received from the DNS about a domain name is authentic and helps make the Internet safer for its billions of users.

IANA plans to generate the new key during the 49th KSK Ceremony on 27 April. The key will be replicated to an alternate facility in the third quarter of 2023. IANA plans to prepublish the key in the DNS, starting in January 2024. It will be held in standby for about two years, during which ICANN will conduct an extensive outreach campaign to ensure a seamless transition to the new key for the global Internet community.
