ICANN's First Eastern European DNS Forum Gets Off to a Good Start
On 1-2 December 2016, ICANN's Global Stakeholder Engagement team in Central Asia
 and Eastern Europe kicked off the first Eastern European Domain Name System (DNS)
Forum in Kiev, Ukraine. The event was held in conjunction with UADOM, the annual
 conference on DNS issues held by .ua registry operator Hostmaster Ltd. With ICANN's
support, UADOM evolved this year into a regional event, covering current regional
and global Internet issues. It attracted a diverse group of stakeholders from Ukraine
and neighboring Eastern European countries: Belarus, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Russia
and Serbia. There were 230 participants attending in person and another 400 remote
participants through the livestream connections available on both days.
The forum was praised by speakers and participants. We were pleased to see the ICANN
community come together and contribute to the first regional event of this kind.
 We look forward to developing this into an annual event.
Senior members of the ICANN organization presented at the forum:

* George Sadowski, ICANN Board member, delivered a keynote speech on the history
 and perspectives of DNS infrastructure and related issues.
* David Olive, ICANN's Senior VP of Policy Development Support and General Manager
of the ICANN regional hub in Istanbul, gave an opening speech.
* Dave Piscitello, ICANN's VP of Security and ICT Coordinator, gave a range of talks
on "Securing the Internet's Identifier Systems."

Dr. Tayfun Acarer was recently appointed as the Chairman of the Turkish Internet
 Improvement Board.

David Olive Meets with the Chairman of Turkey's Internet Improvement Board
In early December, ICANN's David Olive, Senior VP of Policy Development Support 
and General Manager of the ICANN regional hub in Istanbul, met with Dr. Tayfun Acerer,
the new Chairman of the Internet Improvement Board [http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001OnyIJ0mvMb1G7Wnlg8jURQIbkfdzQp3bR81U2lSEC4zUsoSqBNeICBAI0OHZ6LqRVrlycio2uSpG7Lhf-AjE3an6wo0pJ-Dl0auIRJscKcvae9XbjOmpsrGe7Kx-Jk0sL54IFJ5kR6w-D4tEIjsPdh8HmsyP8upUNGNKsGby7ZrMuUYQo7DRuRpUD90OooI1dxcmAPG2FUYhuj2bTAmB-KlsnQs4OI9NpMViRwgfQgQ=&c=rGZ6ztoC5J8dP4LD3QgcIaeWbttsfbldkBwK_HLns_ESRhH8P-LnQQ==&ch=8K8rTQUHSNwnZGOsW_p6UJmgxVOx7KOfrg93GS5SwoClIniaPrcjjQ==].
They engaged in a constructive dialogue on efforts in Turkey to improve and enable
a secure Internet and how the Internet Improvement Board is similar to ICANN in 
terms of its multistakeholder model. The board consists of seven members, each representing
different stakeholders, from academia to government, private sector to NGOs. The
 board is advising the government on Internet-related issues.
At the meeting, David Olive said, "When I first arrived in Istanbul to establish
 the ICANN hub office, Dr. Acarer, at the time a member of the Internet Improvement
Board in Turkey, invited to me to meet with the Board members and talk about ICANN's
planned activities for Turkey and the EMEA region. With the recent appointment of
Dr. Acarer as the Chairman, we are able to strengthen our cooperation and communications
with this multistakeholder board and our Turkish Internet stakeholder community."

ICANN's Fahd Bataneyh briefs participants about ICANN's role in Internet governance.

The Second Pakistan School on Internet Governance Is a Success
The second Pakistan School on Internet Governance (pkSIG 2016) took place in the
 beautiful city of Lahore from 26-29 November 2016. What made this four-day event
unique was the fact that the organizers worked on designing and promoting the event
in a bottom-up multistakeholder fashion.
The school trained more than 30 participants from Pakistan. There were also 5 participants
from Afghanistan, which will host a similar school soon. The school attracted faculty
members who were mostly experts from the local community as well as faculty members
from APNIC (the Regional Internet Registry of the Asia Pacific), the Internet Society
and ICANN.
The agenda covered different areas of Internet governance. In a role-play that spanned
three sessions, participants identified problems in the Internet ecosystem and suggested
ways to tackle them.
ICANN's Fahd Batayneh, Stakeholder Engagement Manager for the Middle East, briefed
participants on the Internet Assigned Names Authority (IANA) functions and a gave
a post-IANA transition status. He also shared the findings of the Boston Consulting
Group report on e-friction entitled " [http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001OnyIJ0mvMb1G7Wnlg8jURQIbkfdzQp3bR81U2lSEC4zUsoSqBNeICBAI0OHZ6LqRWRx3fIH7YIh8JmaC626vo_uGcQr_9xxML_WJOhicqH4twc1RqPHNYvRKTzMR6ATiutvvfb5YzwVnKx3rXr4fOb3xB7KKVu5vfNeY7AE0u91o6SStiwjadU6IFSJ-YOpkk59wrXhAMraKmGnACU1Dig==&c=rGZ6ztoC5J8dP4LD3QgcIaeWbttsfbldkBwK_HLns_ESRhH8P-LnQQ==&ch=8K8rTQUHSNwnZGOsW_p6UJmgxVOx7KOfrg93GS5SwoClIniaPrcjjQ==]Greasing

The Middle East Strategy: Approaching the Finish Line
On 9 December, the Middle East Strategy Working Group published its final strategy
report [http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001OnyIJ0mvMb1G7Wnlg8jURQIbkfdzQp3bR81U2lSEC4zUsoSqBNeICA2tF9hDHKa0KPz4POmpzTv6Tc0yfGwJ08uQYdUJxOBxnKInGLQA19nSvKs--bxCAZ94HB9FNbm8ZTu7QAXKd1GS3_AjYtwanq4HVbgV2zJvI-GsmJ4Ykcb2Muop2MIhvgQeaOkncl5c23L1J75kfJ35AyylEluyYrqD6Mun8Fb8_-tI2PBxoZg=&c=rGZ6ztoC5J8dP4LD3QgcIaeWbttsfbldkBwK_HLns_ESRhH8P-LnQQ==&ch=8K8rTQUHSNwnZGOsW_p6UJmgxVOx7KOfrg93GS5SwoClIniaPrcjjQ==].
The report was a result of the hard work of 50 strategy working group members and
observers over the course of almost 6 months. The contributions from the wider ICANN
community via the public comments window and the ICANN57 public session were of 
great influence in its drafting.
The working group has now started developing the implementation plan for the first
year. The ICANN team has been advised to implement its findings by 30 June 2017.
 In line with our bottom-up multistakeholder model of developing strategy, a webinar
was held on 21 December to update the community on the progress and to seek feedback
on the implementation plan.

ICANN Holds the Second Youth Education Initiative Workshop in Tunisia
As a part of ICANN's academic engagement in Tunisia, the second bimonthly workshop
took place on 14 December at Manouba University in Tunis. This workshop's theme 
was "How the Internet Naming System Works." The hosts were the Computing Center 
Al Khwarizmi (Centre de Calcul El-Khawarizmi) and the Tunisian Internet Agency (Attounissiya
Internet). The workshop attracted around 30 participants.
The agenda for the workshop included an introduction to ICANN and fundamentals of
the DNS and DNS Security Extensions (DNSSEC). Many questions were raised about ICANN's
business model, how the DNS works and the new generic top-level domains (gTLDs).
The next workshop will be in February 2017. Attendance is open to all and is free

ICANN's Bob Ochieng (at right) speaks on a panel at the RDF-AFR event.

ICANN Plays a Role at Two ITU Events in Rwanda
In December, two events of the ITU, the U.N. agency for information and communications
technologies (ICTs), were held back-to-back in Kigali, Rwanda. The Regional Development
Forum for Africa (RDF-AFR) took place on 5 December 2016, followed by the Regional
Preparatory Meeting for the 17th World Telecommunication Development Conference 
(WTDC-17) for Africa (RPM-AFR) held 6-8 December.
The RDF-AFR served as a platform for reviewing the implementation of the five Africa
regional initiatives approved by WTDC-14. These initiatives are related to ICT infrastructure,
policy and regulatory frameworks, capacity building and increased confidence and
 security.
ICANN joined the "New ICT Opportunities and Challenges for the Region" panel. Bob
Ochieng, Stakeholder Engagement Manager for East Africa, highlighted the core role
of the DNS in the Internet and ICANN's role in coordinating the Internet's identifier
systems, and how this has enabled the Internet grow exponentially. We also used 
the opportunity to meet various government delegations and update them on multiple
issues at ICANN.

ICANN Travels to Namibia for Conference on Cybersecurity and Cybercrime
>From 28 November to 2 December, ICANN's Pierre Dandjinou, VP of Global Stakeholder
Engagement in Africa, participated in the Commonwealth Regional Conference on Cybersecurity
and Cybercrime for African Parliamentarians [http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001OnyIJ0mvMb1G7Wnlg8jURQIbkfdzQp3bR81U2lSEC4zUsoSqBNeICBAI0OHZ6LqRcWlOUFJZSF8-t7j7mcmNj21PKZTUBQ9hbNURxHty-ZR9VojQYJJGXcY02fjaDVedyR9h_NX8HoPhBzM3sfbNgpLzYPu7jT5hfl7BeDUyFF8s_oxXmuv3VqnHquejlIKvuSj4KRmcYPQZuwMy10DIzBKe1igQXwSVgsrPY4XLckKJjZUzOUi04A4oDRYJ4X0V98CMV1VVCjUQkjlsyCoDig==&c=rGZ6ztoC5J8dP4LD3QgcIaeWbttsfbldkBwK_HLns_ESRhH8P-LnQQ==&ch=8K8rTQUHSNwnZGOsW_p6UJmgxVOx7KOfrg93GS5SwoClIniaPrcjjQ==]
in Namibia. The conference provided critical information on cybersecurity and cybercrime
to parliamentarians and equipped them with tools and methodologies for implementing
laws related to national cybersecurity strategies. More than 40 parliamentarians
 and some international organizations participated in the event.
The meeting was a mix of information-sharing and hands-on practice. Parliamentarians
were walked through different ways to generate national laws to combat cybercrime,
equip law enforcement agencies and oversee governmental delivery on the subject.
 Participants identified priorities in their jurisdictions and designed action plans
for developing national frameworks for cybersecurity. International organizations
such as ICANN offered support.
The presentation on ICANN's role in securing the identifier system of the Internet
was received with much interest and many questions. The event concluded with a consensus
that the fight against cybercrime should be a collaborative effort at both national
and international levels.

Principles) [http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001OnyIJ0mvMb1G7Wnlg8jURQIbkfdzQp3bR81U2lSEC4zUsoSqBNeICO99qkqFaNkSn5FcduqbbOuJ3CxWKSvKvWPoN58duIK8LOxdvcpKJ7LfxoEsmECJ_9Sb6kJBMEHp2Ry-KoOilQSHeL_fJozh_hVJm2PvawOxIVyn4vZLB6Rgn63sQNmBEmHA_BG7qhM6gmkBOmbj_iq39eMjvTOdKQJLBiFDNGNVj5K3HWm8y6ia0IGv5NM6kw==&c=rGZ6ztoC5J8dP4LD3QgcIaeWbttsfbldkBwK_HLns_ESRhH8P-LnQQ==&ch=8K8rTQUHSNwnZGOsW_p6UJmgxVOx7KOfrg93GS5SwoClIniaPrcjjQ==],
which was jointly chartered by the GNSO and the ccNSO. The adoption by the GNSO 
and ccNSO Councils marks the official completion of work on the CWG Principles. 
A CCWG is a mechanism that allows two or more of any of ICANN Supporting Organizations
(SOs) and Advisory Committees (ACs) to work together to address issues that are 
of common interest and do not fall within the sole remit of one SO or AC. The Final
Framework intends to provide a general outline for the establishment, operations
 and closure of CCWGs, and will highlight certain principles that are considered
 fundamental to the effective functioning of a CCWG. Read the Final Framework here

CCWG on New gTLD Auction Proceeds Calls for Volunteers
To date, over 230 million USD has been accrued through ICANN's authorized auction
services to resolve string contention in the New Generic Top-Level Domain (gTLD)
 Program. A Cross-Community Working Group has been formed and will be tasked with
developing one or more proposals on a mechanism to allocate these auction proceeds.
Once the proposal is developed, its Chartering Organizations and the ICANN Board
 will consider the proposals. The CCWG is open to anyone interested. If you would
like to volunteer for this effort, you can become an individual participant or a
 mailing list observer, or can respond to public consultations when these are held.
In addition, each Chartering Organization will appoint up to five members to keep
its respective group up to date on progress and deliberations. The CCWG is expected
to convene for its first meeting the week of 23 January 2017. Learn how to join

Customer Standing Committee Begins Monthly Reporting on PTI
Byron Holland, Chair of the Customer Standing Committee (CSC), provided the country
code top-level domain (ccTLD) community with the first monthly reports (October 
2016 and November 2016) on how Public Technical Identifiers (PTI) is performing 
the IANA naming function. The CSC concluded that overall PTI performance was satisfactory
- that PTI met its service level agreements. The CSC is aware of minor issues, but
noted no trends. The CSC is in an ongoing discussion with PTI on how to remediate
these issues. No persistent problems were identified, so no further action is needed.

Program. This course aims to help ICANN community leaders improve their effectiveness
when chairing a working or community group. The program has two sessions: skills
 for chairing teleconferences, which began in January 2017, and skills for chairing
in-person meetings, which will take place around the time of ICANN58. A professional
coach from Incite Learning and multiple ICANN community coaches will facilitate 
this program. Besides providing a general framework and guidelines on developing
 chairing skills, coaches will observe their trainees during teleconferences and
 in-person meetings and provide targeted feedback.

GAC Looks to 2017
On 15 December 2016, the GAC and the ICANN Board had a conference call relating 
to the GAC ICANN57 Communiqué. The call was organized by the ICANN Board-GAC Implementation
Working Group. The purpose of the call was to make sure that the interpretation 
of the GAC Advice in the ICANN57 Communiqué is coherent and that both parties have
a common understanding of what the GAC intended and can expect in terms of answers
from the ICANN Board. Furthermore, following positive initial comments from GAC 
members at ICANN57, the GAC is considering participating as a chartering organization
in the Cross-Community Working Group on New gTLD Auction Proceeds. Looking ahead
 to ICANN58, a survey has been launched within the GAC to help prioritize which 
matters must be addressed at ICANN58, and which topics can be handled through intersessional
calls or email exchanges.

New Report Presents Accuracy of WHOIS Data in gTLDs
In December 2016, ICANN published the latest WHOIS Accuracy Reporting System (ARS)
report. WHOIS data is information about registered domains. The data is publicly
 available and includes the name, address, email and phone number of the registrant
or registrar. Because WHOIS data connects individuals or organizations with domain
names, registrants are required to provide accurate and reliable contact details.
The WHOIS ARS project tests syntax and operability accuracy of WHOIS records in 
generic top-level domains (gTLDs). A report of findings is published quarterly.

Two-Character Second-Level ASCII Domain Names Authorized for Release
On 13 December 2016, ICANN authorized the release of all letter/letter two-character
ASCII labels at the second-level for registry operators that implement "Measures
 for Letter/Letter Two-Character ASCII Labels to Avoid Confusion with Corresponding
Country Codes." The measures - adopted by the ICANN Board during ICANN57 - provide
a standardized framework to help Internet users avoid confusion between country 
codes and corresponding letter/letter two-character domain names. This change is

Help Make Universal Acceptance a Priority!
Universal Acceptance addresses technical issues that prevent Internet users from
 successfully completing online transactions. Problems can arise when applications
reject or don't treat all parts of domain names correctly, which can occur when 
domain names are longer than three characters or are in different languages and 
scripts. Worldwide adoption of Universal Acceptance will enable a truly multilingual
Internet, which will help bring the next billion users online.
If you've found an application or system that's not Universal Acceptance-ready, 
report the issue [http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001OnyIJ0mvMb1G7Wnlg8jURQIbkfdzQp3bR81U2lSEC4zUsoSqBNeICO99qkqFaNkSiWsSN1iGRXvLgNMc5Pyc8SK5Pkk00NCA8vBrg7levv85YEXuUYjL-GAvCD6-TPsVfUXDopQ3JbvNHxBj7cqUKaLm1fx1oubPwag8K8ejfDXUAk7PEo2ld06yOi6jZYFw&c=rGZ6ztoC5J8dP4LD3QgcIaeWbttsfbldkBwK_HLns_ESRhH8P-LnQQ==&ch=8K8rTQUHSNwnZGOsW_p6UJmgxVOx7KOfrg93GS5SwoClIniaPrcjjQ==].

Updated gTLD Marketplace Health Index Published
On 21 December 2016, ICANN published an update to the gTLD Marketplace Health Index
(Beta), which presents statistics and trends related to generic top-level domains
(gTLDs). The index was first published in July 2016. ICANN plans to publish these
statistics twice a year to track progress against its goal of supporting the evolution
of the domain name marketplace to be robust, stable and trusted. A community advisory
panel is working with ICANN to refine the index in preparation for publishing version
1.0.
