ICANN Holds First Open House in Istanbul
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

ICANN's hub office in Istanbul successfully organized its inaugural open house on
22 April. The Istanbul office is the hub office for Europe, the Middle East and 
Africa (EMEA). Our participants at the first open house were the registrar and registry
operators based in Turkey - six of the eight local registrars and both registry 
operators took part.
The key topics included:

* Update on business conditions in Turkey
* Competitiveness and maturity of the Turkish domain name industry amid increasing
global competition
* Opportunities arising from Turkey's position in the wider EMEA region
* Update on the .ist and .istanbul land rush period
* Upcoming general availability of the second-level domains on .ist and .istanbul
Participants also had the chance to arrange one-on-one discussions with ICANN compliance
staff, and to share knowledge with each other. ICANN staff encouraged attendees 
to take a greater part in policy development and to become involved in the Registries
Stakeholder Group and the Registrar Stakeholder Group. Participants also learned
 about upcoming events such as the Global Domains Division (GDD) Industry Summit
 and the Middle East and Turkish Domain Name System (DNS) Forum activities.
>From ICANN's perspective, these get-togethers facilitate peer-level knowledge transfer
and enable us to update the community on ICANN's activities. We look forward to 
the next one!

SEEDIG Continues to Promote Multistakeholder Dialogue
On 22 April, the second South Eastern Europe Dialogue on Internet Governance (SEEDIG)
conference took place in Belgrade, Serbia. The Internet Governance Forum (IGF) was
supported by ICANN, the Internet Society (ISOC), the Réseaux IP Européens (RIPE)
 and others. The Council of Europe and the European Commission also participated
 in the event.
The conference's format allowed the 150 participants and speakers to interact closely.
Discussion topics touched on the major aspects of Internet governance across the
 region: definition of Internet governance, limitations and mechanisms, the digital
divide and cybersecurity challenges, and human rights protection in the digital 
era. At the end of every session, the key points emerging from the discussion were
summarized in SEEDIG 2016 Messages [http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001GrED7Z34PyOiRufw8NAGptX74gc8U22uIgVHfZvfTE7cIz3kFM7Kl7JBhgliCFPqLRupznAJoZ8p-ePrNastePELKEd-30APmIEx5HFhHXJtHKf9VsLJ57u1RC1_So2Ly0-agdQ9pwPQ-woJC11GEXsN2zynvE5bt42WC3oUwSDdcotrG638WgMWYzyqeTDvw8grgX2nl_A=&c=vJCuJhaNnOLG1YgeJ6UsXo2HL1E7aMN1exDjiclURh7vlUG8OJJBkw==&ch=Mulv51TSMxFbmeKE6Uj6vQxmAeeQVMsM7p92rD3shCXKsdx_Qb_OZA==].
These topics will be presented at the upcoming European Dialogue on Internet Governance
(EuroDIG [http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001GrED7Z34PyOiRufw8NAGptX74gc8U22uIgVHfZvfTE7cIz3kFM7Kl7JBhgliCFPqZh2sXfcWXdUwXKFDpNIqhnVb5VT_RBCkLy_y-rY21NdqHmc86OUUf8CKyruU83yNWpUt7P_qQ7kBIjM3_qsLzHMRztFB1bhEdtPV0h3Pba2o7OA8fJdKDpYTYCGiJo2Y&c=vJCuJhaNnOLG1YgeJ6UsXo2HL1E7aMN1exDjiclURh7vlUG8OJJBkw==&ch=Mulv51TSMxFbmeKE6Uj6vQxmAeeQVMsM7p92rD3shCXKsdx_Qb_OZA==])
conference, to be held from 9-10 June in Brussels, Belgium.
In the first session, Andrea Beccalli, ICANN's Senior Manager of Stakeholder Engagement
in Europe, talked about approaches to Internet governance. He was joined by representatives
from ISOC, RIPE Network Coordination Centre (RIPE NCC) and the IGF Support Association
(IGFSA). A main topic was the role of ICANN and its multistakeholder model within
the layered structure of Internet governance. The Internet Assigned Numbers Authority
(IANA) Stewardship Transition was held up as an unprecedented example of the open
multistakeholder model. With the proposal to replace the U.S. government's role 
over the IANA functions, the model goes beyond managing the logical layer of the
 Internet. The ultimate success may have far-reaching consequences for shaping new
forms of global governance.
Alexandra Kulikova, ICANN's Manager of Global Stakeholder Engagement for Eastern
 Europe and Central Asia, joined the session on cybersecurity. Kulikova recognized
the role of the various stakeholders and their shared responsibility in addressing
many of the current cybersecurity threats. She discussed how a multistakeholder 
approach could solve these problems.
ICANN supported the early dialogue among stakeholders from the SEE region, leading
to the formation of SEEDIG. SEEDIG is considered an example of how an organization
can foster multistakeholder dialogue across borders and stakeholder groups. We are
glad to see how far SEEDIG has come in just a few years!

The Importance of the WSIS Forum to Internet Governance
The annual World Summit on the Information Society Forum (WSIS Forum [http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001GrED7Z34PyOiRufw8NAGptX74gc8U22uIgVHfZvfTE7cIz3kFM7Kl7JBhgliCFPqFjr8FiRfRSwFm81NfWhT083kk0LS7IrsKq7ixM8Ul7b12F6hyCcLRaJDRgUcUii1sQnfC7Z38onS2jHlO6pnh-c7_2iKW0pPqUiEvN0oza_sB5uW6Mzh4xMP18wYQIhI47aohP5Rfis=&c=vJCuJhaNnOLG1YgeJ6UsXo2HL1E7aMN1exDjiclURh7vlUG8OJJBkw==&ch=Mulv51TSMxFbmeKE6Uj6vQxmAeeQVMsM7p92rD3shCXKsdx_Qb_OZA==])
has become an established part of the Internet governance calendar in Geneva, Switzerland.
This event has a primary purpose of reviewing progress on the "WSIS Action Lines"
(adopted at the WSIS in 2005). It has also become an important venue for multistakeholder
discussions on Internet policy. This year the focus was on the UN-adopted 2013 Agenda
for Sustainable Development [http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001GrED7Z34PyOiRufw8NAGptX74gc8U22uIgVHfZvfTE7cIz3kFM7Kl7JBhgliCFPqEbHzZHk09_MywLL8hfr1OxRR7p47eSbM_g_wg2LbnZBLvi3-_M7i1UBLkXSoh_I4dTxVBkf25KIh1i8rE73uICv0mf_9oCemomBtXDFlOyIBHtoxGdj5uwts0NGfyqdDVmyxq46UUMXGpXy6mOm80SFvNrNkkn3H&c=vJCuJhaNnOLG1YgeJ6UsXo2HL1E7aMN1exDjiclURh7vlUG8OJJBkw==&ch=Mulv51TSMxFbmeKE6Uj6vQxmAeeQVMsM7p92rD3shCXKsdx_Qb_OZA==],
specifically, on the contributions that the information and communications technology
(ICT) community can make toward these goals.
ICANN has been a key contributor to the WSIS Forum for many years, leading to our
partnership with the International Telecommunication Union three years ago. This
 year, Akram Atallah, ICANN's acting CEO, spoke at the high-level session. Members
of ICANN's civil society community were prominent participants. The Non-Commercial
Users Constituency organized a session discussing how to meaningfully engage new
 communities in regional and global Internet governance debates. Community members
chaired plenary policy discussions and organized and spoke in sessions, including
a session on ICANN accountability.
During the WSIS Forum, ICANN and the Geneva Internet Platform hosted a well-attended
side event - "Ensuring Civil Society's Voice Is Heard in ICANN."

ICANN SSR Expert Visits Warsaw
By Gabriella Schittek, Manager of Global Stakeholder Engagement, Central and Eastern
Europe
In April, Dave Piscitello, ICANN's Vice President of Security and ICT Coordinator,
came to Warsaw, Poland. Piscitello is also a member of ICANN's Security, Stability
and Resilience (SSR) team. The original reason for the trip was to speak at a conference
sponsored by the Safe Cyberspace Foundation. However, when a ICANN staff member 
flies in from a distant location (in this case, the U.S.), we try to schedule other
events to reach as many stakeholders as possible.
Piscitello's week in Warsaw shows what happens when an SSR team member travels abroad.
The week started with a presentation at the IDC Security Roadshow [http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001GrED7Z34PyOiRufw8NAGptX74gc8U22uIgVHfZvfTE7cIz3kFM7Kl7JBhgliCFPq2MoiNyTJhWF7vgWihXfrXrzh6pwV_wI3SA-WqwcAxX8EB4Y1tvJyxUqOixmBsWU62XudD5JSy3laoT65tksRlWK8QYO0hk1sYLuQ81JmBcCiqCgvTM-vMQ==&c=vJCuJhaNnOLG1YgeJ6UsXo2HL1E7aMN1exDjiclURh7vlUG8OJJBkw==&ch=Mulv51TSMxFbmeKE6Uj6vQxmAeeQVMsM7p92rD3shCXKsdx_Qb_OZA==]
in Warsaw. Sponsored by the International Data Corporation (IDC), the conference
 is mainly directed at business stakeholders. Piscitello spoke on the asset value
of domain names and the DNS, why they are at risk, and why and how organizations
 should consider domain names in their risk management processes.
Piscitello then rushed off to the Polish National Police's Cybercrime Unit, where
he explained how ICANN is collaborating with law enforcement agencies around the
 world. He also discussed training opportunities for law enforcement officers to
 learn about cybercrime investigations.
The next stop was the American Chamber of Commerce, where Piscitello gave a presentation
on DNS attacks and DNS monitoring. Here, the audience consisted of business people,
technical people and lawyers, all keen on learning more about DNS attacks. To reach
this mixed audience, Dave toned down the technical aspects of the presentation. 
Judging from the feedback, he was successful!
He also visited the Poland Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT.PL), where he 
discussed another training program. Piscitello talked about the "Train the Trainer"
program, in which ICANN is providing training to entities such as CERTs, so that
 they can in turn train local agencies.
Warsaw Hackerspace is a group of young technical professionals who invited Piscitello
to teach them more about DNS attacks. His deeply technical presentation made a good
impression - it was followed by in-depth discussions on a variety of issues.
Piscitello's last day in Warsaw started with a conference organized by the Safe 
Cyberspace Foundation [http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001GrED7Z34PyOiRufw8NAGptX74gc8U22uIgVHfZvfTE7cIz3kFM7Kl7JBhgliCFPqtoljruxmWpCXmF48K56JdhnqFi6MhBPY5bBE3JpQeoHfuKNCACwvFDMyneuUZMxU-AoDo-fTsTaMvGy-t4jJrRC2lmAPjM9vD4vVgynUaY4uDS9noez4BA==&c=vJCuJhaNnOLG1YgeJ6UsXo2HL1E7aMN1exDjiclURh7vlUG8OJJBkw==&ch=Mulv51TSMxFbmeKE6Uj6vQxmAeeQVMsM7p92rD3shCXKsdx_Qb_OZA==].
His three-hour presentation was geared toward a technical audience. It focused on
DNS attacks: classification, mitigations and countermeasures.
The last engagement in Warsaw was to record a podcast, where Miroslaw Maj, Director
of the Safe Cyberspace Foundation, asked tough questions on a variety of topics.
 [Listen to the podcast [http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001GrED7Z34PyOiRufw8NAGptX74gc8U22uIgVHfZvfTE7cIz3kFM7Kl7JBhgliCFPqbZgPJYHbpHasF_22R3jbjVKes8kJvYQpWE3mKj5l3gktUMMFX9mlve3P4IadEBRh3KMH8b4EqRUfpJGgEYdeYJByFNSX4xIq0KkL6tG8NZSopCWibY-qrWaxXg3Fnti5VGoaP-NMog4=&c=vJCuJhaNnOLG1YgeJ6UsXo2HL1E7aMN1exDjiclURh7vlUG8OJJBkw==&ch=Mulv51TSMxFbmeKE6Uj6vQxmAeeQVMsM7p92rD3shCXKsdx_Qb_OZA==].]
Throughout the week, the feedback on Piscitello's presentations was overwhelmingly
positive. A huge number of live-tweets were posted during his presentations; statements
such as "the best presentation ever" were not unusual.
For the Internet community in Poland, Piscitello's presentations and talks not only
provided an opportunity to learn more about ICANN, the DNS and cyberthreats, but
 also triggered ideas for follow-up engagements with ICANN. The Warsaw visit showed
the community that ICANN sees, listens to and cares about its global stakeholders!

"evolving and further globalizing ICANN" is one of ICANN's five strategic objectives.
ICANN is a global organization that is committed to supporting the growth and development
of the domain name industry in Africa. As part of this strategy, the ICANN Board
 of Directors and senior leadership agreed to open the first ICANN office in Africa.
The decision was announced during the ICANN55 Public Meeting in Marrakech, Morocco.
The Internet community in Africa applauded the decision, which they saw as strong
evidence of ICANN's continued commitment to Africa. We are glad to inform you that
the office is now fully operational. Plans to officially launch the office are underway
- the official opening ceremony will be held in Nairobi, Kenya, on 24 May 2016.
While acting as ICANN's foothold in Africa, this office will be focused on championing
institutional engagement with our stakeholders, including governments, civil society,
and technical and academic institutions. For any questions about our Nairobi office,

YouthCom Project Launches in Burkina Faso
ICANN hosted the first YouthCom workshop in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso, from 16-26
April. The YouthCom workshop initiative seeks to introduce young people from various
backgrounds to ICANN and the wider Internet ecosystem. Participants were very excited
about this opportunity. They promised to be more active in the ICANN community, 
and expect to participate in the next ICANN Public Meeting, with the workshop venue
acting as a remote host.
The goal of the YouthCom program is to prepare a new audience to participate effectively
in Internet governance. This program is an extension of other ICANN programs like

DNS Entrepreneurship Workshops Continue
Recently, ICANN hosted two workshops - in Dakar, Senegal, from 14-16 April, and 
in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso, from 28 -29 April. The workshops provided an overview
of the domain name industry to ICT companies, local domain name resellers and new
startups. Participants at the workshop in Dakar resolved to work closely with NIC-SN
- the country code top-level domain registry in Senegal - to promote ccTLDs.

has been mapped across 14 projects and grouped into 3 tracks.
A focal point for ICANN and the community is the updating of ICANN's Bylaws. A draft
of the new Bylaws has been posted for a 30-day public comment [http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001GrED7Z34PyOiRufw8NAGptX74gc8U22uIgVHfZvfTE7cIz3kFM7Kl1ERFLzSPPh4Gf3Tii-jFytt-sRZ9dCo3MXbyP3ffna8m02bSNIn7b4-dmtmlTynNgF-vfPLoVnQsSa7xMl2_xXKedxnslwGpRttNrzuzwN-HhhW9SVlzsGlxahILTjHrVrd5AUD_8dONAqstULNHU08MtduCsENUIvL7bgGmTbXbnI3tsVhjn8=&c=vJCuJhaNnOLG1YgeJ6UsXo2HL1E7aMN1exDjiclURh7vlUG8OJJBkw==&ch=Mulv51TSMxFbmeKE6Uj6vQxmAeeQVMsM7p92rD3shCXKsdx_Qb_OZA==]
period, which ends on 21 May 2016. After the comments are analyzed and incorporated,
the ICANN Board can consider adopting the new Bylaws by the end of May. Once the
 ICANN Board adopts any changes to the Bylaws, the U.S. National Telecommunications
and Information Administration (NTIA) can complete its anticipated 90-day review.
ICANN is also continuing joint planning efforts to remove NTIA's administrative 
role from the root zone management system. ICANN and Verisign completed system code
changes and began a 90-day "parallel testing" period [http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001GrED7Z34PyOiRufw8NAGptX74gc8U22uIgVHfZvfTE7cIz3kFM7Kl1ERFLzSPPh46RuprsanVEu_gztmM40ctX1olvG7Mrd5OJBNALxaTSerLFLvmzi6WLp1Lu1kUjZ5ZbCxXpxVFbUvpIV000k0m7OTRvouVfRjJkyoDD1iGsGiJkjGWvAg7yGw3cgwLsEOgPOqnFL_HzA2LKuT72GeEPeMAm5qgt_DEdnn-gwWvHV_-ouZbeVHP6b9o4XoEmdWgqcNAypRVSk=&c=vJCuJhaNnOLG1YgeJ6UsXo2HL1E7aMN1exDjiclURh7vlUG8OJJBkw==&ch=Mulv51TSMxFbmeKE6Uj6vQxmAeeQVMsM7p92rD3shCXKsdx_Qb_OZA==]
on 6 April 2016. This is a key step in ensuring the continued security and stability
of the Root Zone Management System operation after the successful completion of 
the transition. Over a month has passed since the start of parallel testing, and
 everything is going smoothly.
Additionally, ICANN hopes to complete three other critical agreements this month:

* Service Level Agreement for the IANA Numbering Services
* Memorandum of Understanding Supplemental Agreement with the Internet Engineering
Task Force
* Root Zone Maintainer Agreement
ICANN will make these documents publicly available when they are final.
To keep everyone informed on all these strands of implementation planning, ICANN
 has begun publishing weekly updates. We encourage anyone who is interested in the
transition's implementation planning details to read the inaugural update [http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001GrED7Z34PyOiRufw8NAGptX74gc8U22uIgVHfZvfTE7cIz3kFM7Kl1ERFLzSPPh4L8yizcC90djwXnaHu7yB-2s7TYAAQGAnACEYDIgUaYvk9LDXdTvkyQE0-ykH24LFoEOmCX0bEGtmGgSJBOQlhj49uHc9iCHYpAwZMfKR4NIXOCTcF6Ry4OHG_-n2rVA40x5sOECNZ8iDfsSPYxSf0e5B2GInFg1xDJ4cyoTIQgWsX3rdbFpDtdRlSxxi0l-C&c=vJCuJhaNnOLG1YgeJ6UsXo2HL1E7aMN1exDjiclURh7vlUG8OJJBkw==&ch=Mulv51TSMxFbmeKE6Uj6vQxmAeeQVMsM7p92rD3shCXKsdx_Qb_OZA==].
