 held 22-24 March in London.  This important global cybersecurity event attracted
over 200 delegates from 40 countries. This year's theme was "Cybersecurity: From
 Strategies to Implementation," which encouraged a practical and results-oriented
dialogue.
ICANN was afforded a keynote in the opening session. ICANN Board Member Chris Disspain
talked about ICANN's mission and the organization since the Internet Assigned Numbers
Authority (IANA) stewardship transition. He praised the partnership with CTO, expressing
how he looked forward to seeing concrete actions emerge from the numerous strategic
discussions.
Nigel Hickson, VP of IGO Engagement, chaired a session on Internet governance that
examined some of the legal issues pertaining to the Domain Name System (DNS).This
interactive session, which featured panelists from Queen Mary University, the U.K.
Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS), and Nominet, demonstrated the growing
complexity of issuing domain names and the challenges posed by harmful content.
This event gave ICANN an opportunity to engage with a wide range of stakeholders
 from over 30 countries. We look forward to the next year's conference!

On 11-16 March, Michael Yakushev, VP of Stakeholder Engagement in Eastern Europe
 and Central Asia, and Alexandra Kulikova, Global Stakeholder Engagement Manager
 of Eastern Europe and Central Asia, participated in ICANN58 in Copenhagen, Denmark.
The Meeting proved a very busy one with over 2500 participants gathering for the
 first (Type A) conference of the year. We are proud to say that the region of Eastern
Europe and Central Asia was represented more than ever, with eight people joining
the Fellowship and NextGen programs. Some of them are our long-term partners and
 some are newcomers, whom we hope we've managed to gain their interest in ICANN's
mission and community work. Many thanks to Siranush Vardagnan and Janice Douma Lange
for an excellent job introducing Fellows and NextGen participants to the ICANN world.
All in all, more than fourty people from the region joined us in Copenhagen, taking
part and showing interest in various SO/ACs and constituencies. There were not only
representatives and delegates from Eastern Europe, but also broader Russian-speaking
ICANN community and staff members. It brought us all together and gave a chance 
to share impressions from the meeting and highlights from the region, as well as
 improve personal interaction between participants from different jurisdictions 
and different stakeholder groups.
We are looking forward to ICANN59 [http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001NAAswX0Z-0md4S-bkyWtQq853EW4foNdcuM7Iu45B7GTa-J-2jIcGIqfco8uJpuSrF2DQKwQqeepVGwDIFP1_9RcQITvzw7-cOTky-1BBlqO1My3Z9p1KoW45GSgI78KQxp6btqLmR8P9Xao-OP5Te0F9RiAX-NHCJWITOsUSi7BkBoNaOicF0MTO5hDjZyQLiQUbJ9jdnA=&c=y9mKg5Q6vpfvivI0joy7ukoo7eR5cZxcWpiud37j9IOQav_kXcqaHA==&ch=yKMUErI0xO_7zMg0p9NxSMJxoJfn0kVnrsnRLoHtYvMOOppnseBTaw==]

the Tunisia RENU as well as Telecom Operators and an ATI representative. The keynote
address was delivered by Adiel Akplogan. His speech presented the global and regional
state of IPv6 uptake and how a multistakeholder approach is key for a successful
 roadmap. Following Akplogan's keynote were presentations from the CCK on their 
IPv6 deployment plan and the work they have done with a pilot local university, 
including information on their native dual stack IPv6 functioning link.

ICANN Workshop on DNSSEC Takes Place in UAE
ICANN, in cooperation with the UAE Telecommunication Regulatory Authority (TRA),
 organized a one-day workshop on DNSSEC. The workshop is one in a series of activities
that ICANN along with the TRA are planning in the coming months to raise awareness
about ICANN and encourage participation at ICANN60 in Abu Dhabi this year.
The (.ae) domain administration team of the TRA had deployed a DNSSEC testbed a 
while ago, but decided to hold off on signing the (.ae) zone due to lack of awareness
and interest by the local community. The workshop, run by ICANN's Patrick Jones,
 Senior Director of Global Stakeholder Engagement, and ICANN's Baher Esmat, VP of
Global Stakeholder Engagement in the Middle East, attracted participation from UAE
government departments, network operators, local registrars along with business 
and banking sectors.
The event aimed to inform the audience about the importance of DNSSEC to the UAE's
Internet infrastructure, share deployment experiences of several ccTLDs and new 
gTLDs, provide an overview of the KSK rollover plan and what it means for both service
providers and end-users. The discussion was interactive and the participants were
very interested in the topic.  Some participants have asked for a hands-on training
to gain the skills needed to deploy DNSSEC in their networks. ICANN is working with
the TRA to organize the hands-on training during May 2017.
