Another Milestone Towards the IANA Stewardship Transition
Steve Crocker
On March 14, 2014, 818 days ago, the U.S. National Telecommunications and Information
Administration (NTIA) asked ICANN to convene the global Internet community to develop
proposals to transition the stewardship of the IANA functions to the multistakeholder
community. It also called for enhancements to ICANN's accountability mechanisms.
Today, NTIA released a comprehensive evaluation of the proposals [http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=0018eatmjjgISeuna6ctGMhFylGBJVA5z60XsPMsfGllJyg43LpfxvQj5c2LTZ_g7ynnTLFVX3s5cKBmMnoKaNjW_8MbWK1TaxKzhpNGKf-mh45yEwG6pp4PihnqhgKtflQErQpuw9vT-44_sBwqkfEC3eZNSN_tBRFbCrok-e5bO5eJ4eRf_y9g6CwhP83kULksjuccVcHvdjpQHXuN7f4OvsoC_cQFvSnRrwjobtHGLKjVZaq6m9iZki4CWsPSvo3kmQHN2xesSH0tMxT2U083zK0MtkZueEk&c=JmTMt3uc3rdxZpdWXdeu84tsXQUsGufw9_Ix6KC_xJ-DSRY87oT_yg==&ch=mk58ODMAJYzpF75FM8iu7-GjFmQFPRNMKn7nBhjRymJ9IrAz50gbYg==].
I am very pleased with NTIA's finding that the community-developed proposals met
its stringent criteria. It is an important recognition of the entire community
and its tireless work to reach this important milestone.
We appreciate NTIA's efficient and thorough review of the transition proposals.
In the meantime, ICANN staff and community members continue to plan and prepare
for a timely and successful implementation of the proposals.
We thank everyone involved for their support and hard work to see the transition
through to this point. There is still more work to come, but this moment should
serve as a validation of your time and effort in this process. We are one step
closer to seeing the transition many of us have been working towards for years,
to ensure an open, interoperable Internet for years to come.

Read About Göran Marby's Introduction to ICANN
The First Week
As I begin my role withICANN, I wanted to provide you with a quick update on my
early days. With a packed schedule, I've been focused on learning as much as possible,
and on meeting many members of the ICANN community.
I kicked off with my first Board workshop [http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=0018eatmjjgISeuna6ctGMhFylGBJVA5z60XsPMsfGllJyg43LpfxvQj8A1msLzYY3rtFY9i9mRB7c2IGYcqWQ1qc79Tk8eZhRddEnsQmm_vX2glyxtH2Skv9TGivBqIdAOuni4pPTBsYZRuvHUk_ijQ1E5lXyDTmbR_0lnRn6RGLgZKZ_izqXzpMmgS1umE0kXUi4J9GuNddMgNxx38Att6U56v8TBN9R1UUG-amrNJsPqDsBD4tDqXzJW0NpNqAloT3F_hy68ddShvTtR0PWtIQ==&c=JmTMt3uc3rdxZpdWXdeu84tsXQUsGufw9_Ix6KC_xJ-DSRY87oT_yg==&ch=mk58ODMAJYzpF75FM8iu7-GjFmQFPRNMKn7nBhjRymJ9IrAz50gbYg==],
in Amsterdam. I spent time with my senior team and the Board, and was able to dig
into some of the big issuesICANNis tackling. After the Board Workshop, I attended
the first day of the GDD Summit [http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=0018eatmjjgISeuna6ctGMhFylGBJVA5z60XsPMsfGllJyg43LpfxvQj3bL1RZOkOnq1HlYv0K9Z75kjBwT5p5ksBnpLeWxvAxTkaGuQ5UjyF9KJjGfGHUg6K9tYiws9rfZh7WeJCxck1oPOA0P7BQQx1oaJLJ7bKhVDNYL1fEfYKCi_Msalu8jIA==&c=JmTMt3uc3rdxZpdWXdeu84tsXQUsGufw9_Ix6KC_xJ-DSRY87oT_yg==&ch=mk58ODMAJYzpF75FM8iu7-GjFmQFPRNMKn7nBhjRymJ9IrAz50gbYg==].It
was a great opportunity to meet many of the contracted parties that are members
of the ICANN community, and I appreciated learning more about issues affecting registries
and registrars, as well as the lively discussions on subsequent procedures of generic
top-level domains.

What You Need to Know About ICANN56 and the New Meeting Strategy
ICANN56 Helsinki will be the first public policy forum in ICANN's new meeting strategy

Designated a Meeting B, the four-day event will concentrate on policy work and outreach.
Under the new format, the Supporting Organizations and Advisory Committees drive
the program, focusing solely on topics that contribute to policy development and
cross-community dialogue. Because of the community-driven agenda and the short meeting
duration, ICANN56 will not include certain events associated with the longer meetings
- welcome ceremony, public forums, public board meeting and sponsor exhibition area.
The community-led Meeting Strategy Working Group crafted the new strategy to better
meet the needs of ICANN constituents. ICANN's Board of Directors approved the proposal
at ICANN53 Buenos Aires. ICANN55 Marrakech - the first meeting of 2016 - marked
the kickoff of the new meeting strategy.

Belarus Holds Its First IGF
By Michael Yakushev
Vice President, ICANN Stakeholder Engagement in Russia & Central Asia
I am happy to say that the first Internet governance forum in Belarus far exceeded
everyone's expectations. It was viewed as a great success by all, providing a vibrant
platform for cross-regional dialogue among the Eastern Europe countries in attendance.
Though the Republic of Belarus is not well-known outside the region, it is placed
exactly in the geographical center of continental Europe. With a population of around
9.5 million people, almost no substantial natural resources, and (since Soviet times)
a highly educated population, Belarus has become a regional champion of Internet
technology development, network penetration rates and quality of services. Recently,
the Belarusian government announced its goal to enter the "Top 30" of leading Internet
economies.
On 17 May, Belarus held its first IGF in Minsk. The event was organized by the local
country code top-level domain (ccTLD) registry (.by/.bel) with the support of ICANN,
Réseaux IP Européens Network Coordination Centre (RIPE NCC) and other global organizations.
Attended by over 350 participants from the local communities, and delegates from
Armenia, Georgia, Estonia, Moldova, Russia and Ukraine, it was a true subregional
Eastern European IGF. The speakers and panelists at the plenary sessions and panel
discussions were from different countries and different stakeholder groups. This
diversity gave local stakeholders the opportunity to discuss the most recent social,
legal and cultural aspects of the technical development of the Internet. Colleagues
from the region shared best practices.
Apart from the traditional model of an IGF with a set of keynote presentations and
sessions on general topics like "Internet for Governments" or "Internet and Society,"
the agenda contained some unexpected features. One novel session was a student debate
on Internet governance issues - with teams from local universities. We were impressed
by the students' eloquence and subject-matter knowledge. During the forum, a special
panel was convened on the regional aspects of Internet governance. Speakers from
Belarus, Moldova, Russia and Ukraine shared their views on what is unique and what
is common in the Internet governance agenda of the Eastern European region.
ICANN's participation in the forum was important to help us better understand how
to develop and implement our regional (or subregional) strategy in the most efficient
way. ICANN has consistently been a supporter of IGFs, and we continue to work with
our partners and Internet communities in the region to strengthen constructive dialogue
on Internet topics and to help in the development of local Domain Name System (DNS)
industries.

ICANN Holds Second Africa Topical Workshop
After the first edition organized in May 2014 in Cotonou, Republic of Benin, the
second African topical workshop took place from 9-10 May in Harare, Zimbabwe.
Over 100 participants from 20 countries attended the workshops. Participants came
from the government, private sector, academia, research institutions, technical
community, civil society organizations and media. Topics covered were related to
DNS security, domain name dispute issues, internationalized domain names, ICANN
registrar accreditation process and the Africa DNS market study. After two days
of fruitful exchanges, the participants agreed on the need for:
* More capacity building on domain names dispute resolution
* Constitution of a forum for legal experts interested in domain name matters
* Need for more volunteers from Africa in IDN working groups
Key recommendations included:
* Regional and national actors need to collaborate and coordinate on issues
in the domain name industry in Africa that are related to trademarks and intellectual
property.
* Registries, registrars and resellers need to automate to facilitate quick
resolution of online disputes.
* Coordination is needed to formulate local, regional and international laws
and policies aimed at resolving trademark and intellectual property disputes.
Participants expressed their gratitude to the Postal and Telecommunications Regulatory
Authority of Zimbabwe (POTRAZ), the Government and people of the Republic of Zimbabwe,
and ICANN. The topical workshop is part of the ICANN's Africa strategy, with the
next edition scheduled for May 2017.

ICANN's Launch of Africa Engagement Office in Nairobi: The Continent Now Has a Seat
at the Table
by Kris Senanu, Deputy CEO, Internet Solutions Kenya, and Chair of Kenya Network
Information Center (KeNIC), Kenya's domain registry institution
The launch of the ICANN office in Nairobi confirms Kenya's and Africa's seats at
the global table of Internet policy and governance discourse. The role ICANN plays
across the world cannot be overstated. With the world now moving fast toward full-scale
digitization, the Internet has become omnipresent. A critical resource platform,
governments across the world need to invest in its reliability and sustainability.
Here in Kenya, under the auspices of KeNIC, we have taken a futuristic step towards
capacity building, benefiting people who embrace the growing use of the Internet.
Specifically, through domain registry, we support the increasing number of local
businesses that are going online to extend their presence and markets. We appreciate
the potential for monetization of web hosting, creation of domain names, creation
of e-commerce platforms and a plethora of other online solutions.
The Kenyan government, in formulating policies and legislation, has continuously
reinforced the multistakeholder approach in the development of the Internet ecosystem.
By bringing together the private sector, civil society and International organizations
to share their expertise, the resulting industry guidelines balance commercial and
legal interests. Yet these guidelines also address the information and communications
technology of Kenyan citizens.
Part of ICANN's Africa strategy, which was first advanced in 2012, is to support
a stronger presence for ICANN in Africa and to increase African participation in
ICANN. KeNIC, in association with ICANN, held the Youth Community Workshop (YouthComm)
that concluded its second series in Nairobi on 26 May 2016 - another great accomplishment
for Kenya. This ICANN initiative exposes youth under 30 years of age to matters
of information and communications policy and governance, and also to the wider Internet
ecosystem. The goal is to enable this new audience to better participate in the
future in policy issues, within and without government and private sector circles.
Indeed, Africa is the next e-market frontier, and as the expansion and ease of access
to the Internet continue across the world, with an ever-increasingly younger population,
we expect to see more adaptation of world-class technologies in Kenya and the rest
of Africa.

New gTLD Program Reaches 1,000th Delegation
More than 1,000 new generic top-level domains (gTLDs) have now been introduced to
the Internet under the New gTLD Program. This significant expansion of the domain
name system allows greater diversity in how people and businesses can represent
themselves online. It also enables communities, cities and brands to more closely
align their digital and real-world identities.

Changing the Keys to the Domain Name System Root Zone
ICANN, Verisign and the U.S. Department of Commerce's National Telecommunications
and Information Administration (NTIA) are preparing to roll, or change, the root
zone key signing key (KSK). Rolling the KSK means generating a new cryptographic
public and private key pair and distributing the new public component to parties
who operate validating resolvers.
A new resource page serves as home to all information related to the KSK rollover,
including regular progress updates.
