Update on the Root KSK Rollover Project
Matt Larson, VP of Research, Office of Chief Technology Officer
The ICANN organization will not roll the root zone key signing key (KSK) in the 
first quarter of 2018.
We have decided that we do not yet have enough information to set a specific date
for the rollover. We want to make clear, however, that the ICANN org is committed
to rolling the root zone KSK and we will continue to discuss this important process
with the community, gather their feedback, and give all interested parties advance
notice of at least one calendar quarter when we set the date for the rollover.

Internet Community Gathers at 2017 IGF in Geneva
More than 2,000 participants from 142 countries attended this year's Internet Governance
Forum (IGF), which was held in Geneva, Switzerland, from 18 to 21 December. Members
of the global Internet community came together to discuss some of the most pressing
issues impacting the Internet, such as cybersecurity, data protection, privacy, 
surveillance, and encryption. ICANN held three workshops and participated in the
 Open Forum, which gave us an opportunity to touch on key topics, including the 
General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and its effect on the ICANN community.
 The IGF continues to be one of the most important venues for discussing critical
Internet-related matters.

of .ua. On the night of 1 December 1992, Jon Postel delegated the .ua domain to 
the Ukrainian Internet pioneers who had started negotiations for the ccTLD right

Stakeholder Engagement for Eastern Europe And Central Asia, took part in the conference
and presented the Hostmaster LTD team and .ua's registry manager with a congratulatory
letter signed by Göran Marby, ICANN's President and CEO. With just over 550,000 
domains registered under .ua, the zone is one of the leaders in Eastern Europe and
Central Asia, and has been DNSSEC-signed since 2012. The .ua ccTLD has proven itself
as a brand, and is an important part of the Ukrainian community's online identity.

the Privacy and Proxy Services Accreditation Issues Implementation Review Team (PPSAI
IRT) to consider the issue of privacy/proxy registration and the implementation 
of Inter-Registrar Transfer Policy (IRTP) Part C. The Council has concerns about
 whether the addition or removal of a privacy/proxy service potentially triggers
 the 60-day inter-registrar transfer lock. The IRTP recommendations did not address
this issue, and the potential harms were not brought to the attention of the ICANN
organization. Registrars and other affected parties are encouraged to work with 
PPSAI IRT to put forward recommendations.
* Heather Forrest, the GNSO Chair, was confirmed as the GNSO representative on the
Empowered Community Administration until the end of ICANN63. She had been fulfilling
this role on a temporary basis since the end of ICANN60.
