<div><span style="font-size:16px;color:rgb(4,123,193);font-weight:bold">The DNSSEC Implementation Relaunch in Finland</span></div>
<div><span style="font-weight:bold">By Juhani Juselius, Chief Specialist, Traficom</span></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>For almost two decades, .FI has been taken care of by a relatively small but highly motivated team at the Finnish Transport and Communications Agency Traficom, a team that believes in secure and up-to-date technology. As part of that vision, .FI-root
 was signed in 2010 and the registration system was updated in 2011 in order to provide Domain Name System Security Extensions (DNSSEC) for the second level. From the very beginning, it was obvious to us that we did not want to charge any extra fees for this
 important add-on service.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>During the following years, we raised awareness via several activities such as presentations, media interviews, targeted events, user trainings, meetings with registrars, and master's theses supervision. I am quite sure that our message reached
 its target, and relevant people learned about DNSSEC.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>However, not much happened after all, despite all of our efforts in raising awareness. At the end of 2018, I was not aware of any .FI registrar offering DNSSEC for their customers: Only 1 percent of domains were signed, and none of the three big
 ISPs were validating Internet traffic in Finland. Those were very depressing numbers, especially when compared to the success of DNSSEC in the other Nordic countries.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>At the beginning of 2019, we asked our colleagues at the National Cyber Security Center for an opportunity to attend their meeting with the Finnish ISPs and talk about DNSSEC. In that meeting, we asked a question: "In your opinion, what should
 we do in order to boost DNSSEC usage in Finland?" They gave us the clearest answer so far: "We see DNSSEC as an important addition to security, but we don't want to do it alone. If it breaks something, our customers will switch to a non-DNSSEC supporting operator.
 We will implement DNSSEC if we don't need to do it alone." That was it! So simple. The idea of DNSSEC (re)Launch Day was born.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>There were two main components in our DNSSEC Launch Day campaign. The first one was a campaign website with a public list of registrars and ISPs committed to implementing DNSSEC by the date of Launch Day. This was important to convince participants
 that they were not alone in implementing DNSSEC. The second component was to get publicity. First, there were some articles in professional online media, but the real game-changer was a one and half page article in the main national newspaper, the Helsingin
 Sanomat: “<a href="http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001TNgwtZ4HeFNu_BAj1-rFshRNI1rYrI4p6GG8G8acZ0JJTLyVVOtVtZeQZyB6YWcvMNOZldI6PDXAX_wBEZpUDnRjGNzyVsq3aOL27g3L32II9wJOz85wbXtXKIPwqsbv0UMwTqo62FhFcufNJ87mWg2WwTs_wB2nmdZxIBAwSpVHrSvLqEimKQ==&c=PPe1mayQesFZ1kaTiLumey_rpjKOODPcl65wnLZ1iQuRfVWYAmDBig==&ch=70ZWzEr1b84ta6-nWdl5BGbIb3vQHsOVeZ8BqSid4trRIj2DAApUrA==" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="text-decoration:underline;color:rgb(96,109,120);font-weight:normal;font-style:normal" target="_blank">DNSSEC
 and its low adoption rate in Finland.</a>” The article was straightforward, and it made people wake up.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>At the end of 2019, there were at least 250 registrars offering DNSSEC to their customers, 2 percent of domains were signed (low, but doubled in number), and the validation rate exceeded 90 percent, one of the highest in the world. In addition,
 our DNSSEC training session in cooperation with ICANN became very popular after the campaign, as people got interested in DNSSEC implementation more than ever before.</div>

<div><br>
</div>
<div>With all face-to-face interactions with our community suspended due to the COVID-19 crisis, engagement with stakeholders poses a new type of challenge: How do we adapt our engagement to these new circumstances?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Our good partner in Poland, The University of Lodz (UoL), adapted quickly to the new situation by opening their virtual doors for ICANN. Through this initiative, which we called the “ICANN Month”, we delivered online lectures to the students of
 Social Sciences Doctoral School at UoL for three consecutive weeks in April 2020. Each lecture attracted 25 to 50 students.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>ICANN Month was comprised of three lectures by ICANN org members. Patrick Jones opened the series by presenting on “Managing Identifiers and Domain Name System Privacy in an Insecure World”. He was followed by Adam Peake, who presented on ICANN
 and the Internet, touching upon the fundamental importance of the DNS and global multistakeholder policy. Lastly, Gabriella Schittek delivered a talk on ICANN, new generic top-level domains, and its rights protection mechanisms. The students were also invited
 to participate in ICANN via programs such as NextGen and Fellowship, and introduced to the ICANN Learn platform.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>We would like to extend our gratitude to the University of Lodz, and Joanna Kulesza from At-Large leadership for the openness and flexibility that made the ICANN Month possible.</div>
<div><br>

<div><span style="font-weight:bold">By Mikhail Anisimov, Head of Global Stakeholder Engagement for Eastern Europe and Central Asia</span></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>My ICANN journey as an org member started on 16 March 2020, around the time when COVID-19 was becoming a global crisis. As the world began facing one of the toughest challenges in modern history, all planned activities came to a halt. Face-to-face
 meetings and community gatherings are now no longer viable in the foreseeable future. As a result, we are looking at different ways to continue our work.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>When I was training for long distance running fifteen years ago, my trainer had advised this: If I had to slow down, it would be a good opportunity to look around and see where I am, and check how others are doing. Now that we all have to slow
 down, there is time to look around, and at our community. For us at ICANN, we will continue engaging with you, and raising awareness about ICANN’s work via the remote tools available to us.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Although many regional events have been postponed, the preparations continue for the ones later on in the year. Organizers are still discussing agendas and potential speakers. Currently, it seems things will get busy as of September. But until
 then, we can look at what work we have to do now, prioritize the regional needs in light of the new situation, and continue to work together.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>In my new role, I look forward to working with you, our stakeholders across Eastern Europe and Central Asia! Please do not hesitate to contact me at<span> </span><span style="text-decoration:underline"><a href="mailto:mikhail.anisimov@icann.org" style="text-decoration:underline" target="_blank">mikhail.anisimov@icann.org</a></span><span> </span>for
