IANA Stewardship Transition Update
On 10 March 2016, the ICANN Board transmitted the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority
(IANA) Stewardship Transition Package to the U.S. National Telecommunications and
Information Administration (NTIA). Since then, NTIA has been reviewing the proposals
[http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001Qbcoz_hEkOJ7VDcnPRmgK5K-1c-8WLNr2QhwKFZaBzv7wmjAtFYZDFyjLEbvrUxG2a5xY7GI5Z00QPsXSTVU98iS-Jxor_P91EC7OWwcIuobJAtHQaALfkX1dY8hHzyMHZG_8Xhtlg5fROpquYQ4DrXc4y2lmOgN7kqIL9tZ_gmvHczq0mZInZWjtSgE9w5mD1zqgsyFlndYX69YwOwkW78z4uFUL_JoxuJZ1iBEPXE=&c=2Z4AR7Hay1DcqwYIl1wfuCp_fKRuHHppWapOf2lo-KE14GX_ZMH_pA==&ch=qA3v07WwezejSnGpA7DwXcKqYAAXOM_F08c0rb9QJzbB4Aj034_kDw==]
to ensure that they meet the criteria of their 14 March 2014 announcement [http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001Qbcoz_hEkOJ7VDcnPRmgK5K-1c-8WLNr2QhwKFZaBzv7wmjAtFYZDFyjLEbvrUxGMtBIlu8CNyulx5AohZhBjFap5wB12zW5Az62Ho3L65jzs-y5FghkyHDY90ZcZ5xHU5JDy7o_v0Nr2X7V8wkXwRlYZA0QCGqKtsE0dZ5iMfeR6HIbhL-LvaQjDfOlV1WdtROTABX78AJn64vckMbcS_D5mx4lQVSkiwfzMqOU7n2HQow47cJx_x8pzbcqFLTwIl7s0yQyQKKHdW7MXPx5k9ppUJdl3n48MMueQmkOHuk=&c=2Z4AR7Hay1DcqwYIl1wfuCp_fKRuHHppWapOf2lo-KE14GX_ZMH_pA==&ch=qA3v07WwezejSnGpA7DwXcKqYAAXOM_F08c0rb9QJzbB4Aj034_kDw==].
This review period is expected to last 90 days, and will be guided by recommendations
from the U.S. Government Accountability Office. In addition, the U.S. Congress has
a strong interest in the proposals; it is expected that they will closely monitor
and review the proposal as a part of NTIA's evaluation. The current contract with
ICANN expires on 30 September 2016, but NTIA has the authority to extend the contract
if needed.
While the community was working to finalize the IANA Stewardship Transition Package,
ICANN's implementation team has been diligently preparing for the "implementation
phase" of the IANA Stewardship Transition. Significant preplanning for implementing
changes to the Root Zone Management System [http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001Qbcoz_hEkOJ7VDcnPRmgK5K-1c-8WLNr2QhwKFZaBzv7wmjAtFYZDFyjLEbvrUxGiGKZf9i3pI0YjDtnx8xX9ukA8WT_D9gx74N2mJRIe4JscbG2_TQBG4dy-Sna0uNH9TR0g8Jfm2TtOEnXx0MopfAQYm3oXCTMc0xyiP8SlCJwm-I7WSGGtV9BHqXgc9DpRjT96rwX4t-a908-nP-p6zpS7f1n_OFmkCQ6SEYSe4bCFUBEAAoXlsZ4gJ4JJ7FAvv9baveW6UPEDv6nZ_ccygXjQvuurGble7qTMZaWav_0ntJOKqxAtA==&c=2Z4AR7Hay1DcqwYIl1wfuCp_fKRuHHppWapOf2lo-KE14GX_ZMH_pA==&ch=qA3v07WwezejSnGpA7DwXcKqYAAXOM_F08c0rb9QJzbB4Aj034_kDw==],
elements proposed in the ICG Proposal, as well as the Post-Transition IANA and Customer
Standing Committee, are underway. These activities will continue to develop over
the coming weeks and months.
ICANN's legal team is coordinating with the two external law firms that have provided
support to the CCWG-Accountability and CWG-Stewardship to prepare proposed changes
to the ICANN Bylaws to implement the changes outlined in the IANA Stewardship Transition
Package. The draft Bylaws will be put out for public comment prior to Board approval,
and once adopted, ICANN will notify NTIA of the adoption. NTIA has stated that the
Bylaws must be adopted before NTIA can issue a report on the transition proposal.

Interested in ICANN Reviews?
Do you know what ICANN reviews are and why they are important? Reviews are crucial
to evaluating what happens when ICANN processes and policies from the multistakeholder
model meet the real world. Reviews enable us to assess ICANN's performance toward
our commitments, much like a report card. This process is a tool for continuous
improvement - it helps us look at the past so we can do better in the future. We
have several new reviews planned for this year.
Now is a great time to learn more about them and get involved! Sign up here.

ICANN Cohosts Prague Conference on Digital Economy: Chances and Challenges
On 17-18 March 2016, a conference was held in Prague to explore the topic of "Digital
Economy: Chances and Challenges" [http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001Qbcoz_hEkOJ7VDcnPRmgK5K-1c-8WLNr2QhwKFZaBzv7wmjAtFYZDIZ6ZWGvGigkAr3Uh0TvbB69MN7t_UIgccurEj4uWb74MH2PaXkZUf8omiA9EtQMH_75FaH0fqMSqVwW7tUs6I6_p_Q3YlSnIcqeaP83PPbFaP7GcEQyjTYvu20TTADI-6ob1pYubuhdOkRZlnzaCy_XiCFQcycds9oqv5HWKMC3&c=2Z4AR7Hay1DcqwYIl1wfuCp_fKRuHHppWapOf2lo-KE14GX_ZMH_pA==&ch=qA3v07WwezejSnGpA7DwXcKqYAAXOM_F08c0rb9QJzbB4Aj034_kDw==].
ICANN and the Czech Telecommunication Office co-organized the event, and sought
participation from across the Visegrad Group (Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, Slovakia).
Representatives from several other countries were also present. In total, over 200
people attended the event, with many governmental authorities represented.
Participants discussed issues ranging from Internet innovations and regulations
to cybersecurity and Internet governance. Another hot topic was the "Internet of
Things." Jean-Jacques Sahel, ICANN's VP of Stakeholder Engagement for Europe, gave
an overview of multistakeholder governance and the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority
(IANA) Stewardship Transition.
This event was the first of its kind in the Czech Republic. The hope is for yearly
follow-up events, which could develop into a local Internet governance forum.

DNS Entrepreneurship Center Showcased at ICANN55
By Hadia El Miniawi, Director, DNS Entrepreneurship Center
ICANN55 marked the first time that the DNS Entrepreneurship Center (DNS-EC) was
present at an ICANN Public Meeting. Our involvement in Marrakech featured a booth,
brochures, giveaways and a video. I introduced the DNS-EC and its activities in
a session entitled "The DNS Industry in the Middle East."
To date, the DNS-EC has conducted nine workshops in various locations. Topics have
included: DNS business development, registry best practices, "train the trainer"
sessions, Domain Name System (DNS) operation and DNS Security Extensions (DNSSEC),
and Uniform Domain-Name Dispute-Resolution Policy (UDRP). DNS-EC has also conducted
SWOT (strengths, weaknesses,opportunities, threats) analysis workshops for local
DNS markets in Tunis, Doha, Muscat and Dubai. More than 150 trainees - coming from
more than 15 countries in the region - have attended the workshops.
Looking ahead, we are developing an outreach program, targeting university students
and new graduates, with the purpose of educating and raising awareness among youngsters.
We are also facilitating a networking day for top-level domain (TLD) operators.
Operators from the region will have a chance to share their challenges and success
stories and work on topics of common interest. In addition to the current slate
of workshops, we have added online courses and marketing workshops to our training
agenda.
DNS-EC is attracting more participants and partners - we are looking forward to
getting closer to the Internet community in the region and exploring new opportunities.

The Africa strategy session briefed the community on ICANN's work and strategy on
the continent. ICANN global leaders Tarek Kamel and Sally Costerton participated
in the session. Attendees reacted positively to the announcement of a new engagement
center in Nairobi, Kenya - ICANN's first engagement center in Africa.
The Africa strategy meeting had two special moments:
* Announcement of the Youth Comm (Youth Community) program, developed by ICANN's
Development and Public Responsibility Department and the Global Stakeholder Engagement
Team in Africa. Youth Comm will provide youth with learning opportunities and will
build capacity by holding two-day country workshops around the region.
* Recognition of outgoing President and CEO Fadi Chehadé by members of the community.
Highlights were a farewell speech and the presentation of gifts.
Finally, in this session, the community was encouraged to cooperate with the South
African Communications Forum [http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001Qbcoz_hEkOJ7VDcnPRmgK5K-1c-8WLNr2QhwKFZaBzv7wmjAtFYZDIgLdemK_8vW36-SMHVSPuSExz7no1TB4hJ9SkVpTpgnTBJxeMywUoPM9nP_32mlJXhbcmQ6SjT5jbDzMrd5Z7GZGH60OQLibAI_WZOxZrZ26rEArq-FWOGGUtu3OeB7EA==&c=2Z4AR7Hay1DcqwYIl1wfuCp_fKRuHHppWapOf2lo-KE14GX_ZMH_pA==&ch=qA3v07WwezejSnGpA7DwXcKqYAAXOM_F08c0rb9QJzbB4Aj034_kDw==],

Forum 2016 [http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001Qbcoz_hEkOJ7VDcnPRmgK5K-1c-8WLNr2QhwKFZaBzv7wmjAtFYZDIgLdemK_8vWeCwuCAyG5bRvi4_vb3ko7oY-ENdnAblwGsZvwba4a9Aum5vODkheNmhKmoDqNKHqYb8SzVdHm0rohPKZGCBdYjBxY_vCKXjbHpgMwJyY-1Vh25XYGv222F5sHLLF86BvjA8npzKRmA-dUCFPT1QNp8ZSSvn499pRwWGwHV_YJ5zU_2Eq7Zuktg==&c=2Z4AR7Hay1DcqwYIl1wfuCp_fKRuHHppWapOf2lo-KE14GX_ZMH_pA==&ch=qA3v07WwezejSnGpA7DwXcKqYAAXOM_F08c0rb9QJzbB4Aj034_kDw==]
held in Marrakech, Morocco from 4-6. The forum presented key DNS topics affecting
Africa - and the North African region, following successful events held previously
in other regions: South Africa (Southern Africa) in 2013, Nigeria (West Africa)
in 2014, and Kenya (East Africa) in 2015.
The event was well attended both in person and through remote participation. View

Major recommendations emerged from the forum:
* Establishing a common payment gateway, thereby allowing registrars and resellers
to buy domains from different African country code TLDs (ccTLDs)
* Creating a registrar accreditation framework - led by the African TLD Organization
(AfTLD) - to accredit African registrars once to sell domains across all African
ccTLDs
* Localizing similar DNS forums at national levels to increase the reach and
impact to local stakeholders
* Fostering closer partnerships with different industry stakeholders, including
financial sector players, to help them understand the DNS business and how
their actions affect the industry (e.g., costs for sending money across countries)
The event was hosted by Agence Nationale de Réglementation des Télécommunications,
which also runs the .ma ccTLD. ICANN organized the event in collaboration with the
Internet Society and AfTLD.

DNSSEC Root Zone KSK Rollover Recommendations Published
A design team consisting of seven independent DNS experts along with representatives
from ICANN, Verisign, and NTIA has completed a report with recommendations for changing,
also known as rolling, the DNSSEC root zone Key Signing Key (KSK). Rolling the root
zone KSK means generating a new cryptographic public and private key pair and distributing
the new public component to parties, including Internet service providers, DNS resolver
operators, DNS resolver software developers, integrators and distributors. Read

Open for Public Comment: Safeguards to Mitigate DNS Abuse
In March, ICANN published a report that explores how to measure the effectiveness
of safeguards against DNS abuse. These protections are part of the New gTLD Program.
The report defines the activities that constitute DNS abuse, and assesses indicators
of the rate of abuse in new gTLDs and the DNS as a whole. The report's findings
are based on analytics and user feedback. The comment period closes 25 April 2016.
