Together, these organizations created a viable platform for local dialogue on Internet governance.<br /> <br />Maciej Grón, Director of the Department of Information Society at the Polish Ministry of Administration and Digitization, explained the viewpoint of the Polish government. "The Polish government is deeply convinced that no responsible Internet policy can be made without broad consultations and serious discussions with the local Internet community, based on multistakeholder model principles. That's why Polish the IGF is more than an annual conference - it's a real forum where all stakeholders can present their proposals and conclusions, as well as learn about the future plans of action."<br /> <br />Around 250 people registered for the meeting, from many stakeholder groups - including civil society, academia, business and government. Discussion topics included Internet governance and its regional impact, the free flow of data, the Internet of Things and cybersecurity challenges, Internet platforms and the digital single market.</td></tr></table><table class="" border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" id="content_LETTER.BLOCK343"><tr><td class="MainText Content" style="padding:15px 15px 15px 15px;color:#7A7578;font-size:10pt;font-family:Source Sans Pro,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;" valign="top" rowspan="1" colspan="1" align="left">

<span class="MainText" style="color:#7A7578;font-size:10pt;font-family:Source Sans Pro,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">One of ICANN's key strategic objectives for its engagement in the Middle East is capacity building on DNS security and stability. This objective has been fulfilled in many ways, such as encouragement of DNSSEC deployment, deployment of root server instances, Arabic script IDNs, and workshops on DNS abuse and misuse.</span><br /> <br /><span class="MainText" style="color:#7A7578;font-size:10pt;font-family:Source Sans Pro,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">In October, the Global Stakeholder Engagement Team in the Middle East and the Security, Stability, and Resiliency Team of the CTO Office teamed up for a road show. They visited three cities in the Middle East to raise awareness on DNS abuse and misuse. Workshops held in Dubai, Doha, and Beirut trained a total of 80 participants on the latest trends in DNS security and how to tackle them. The workshops combined theory and hands-on training. Participants came from law enforcement agencies, computer emergency response teams, security firms, academia and banking.</span><br /> <br /><span class="MainText" style="color:#7A7578;font-size:10pt;font-family:Source Sans Pro,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The workshops were a success, with participating individuals and organizations tapping into ICANN's expertise.

<div style="font-weight:normal;margin-top:0px;font-style:normal;text-align:left;">
<div style="font-weight:normal;margin-top:0px;font-style:normal;margin-bottom:0.0001pt;text-align:left;">On 27 October 2016, ICANN created a new root zone key signing key (KSK). This new cryptographic public/private key pair was made during the quarterly Root KSK Ceremony at our secure key management facility in Culpeper, Virginia. With this key generation, the initial operational phase of the first root KSK rollover - the process of changing the "master key" of the Domain Name System (DNS) - has begun. Network operators, Internet service providers and those who have enabled DNS Security Extensions (DNSSEC) validation will need to update their systems with the new root KSK once it has been published in July 2017.
