KSK Rollover Postponed
On 27 September, ICANN announced that the planned changeover of the cryptographic
key that helps protect the Domain Name System is being postponed.
The changing or "rolling" of the key signing key (KSK) was originally scheduled 
to occur on 11 October, but is being delayed because some recently obtained data
 shows that a significant number of resolvers used by Internet service providers
 and network operators are not yet ready for the key rollover.

community, potential and perceived barriers to participation, and the community's
support for initiatives to enhance gender diversity.

 and process, including registries and registrars pursuant to ICANN contracts
* Personal data that ICANN collects and processes for internal or external services

We Heard You: Feedback on the Accountability Indicators
In August, we launched theAccountability Indicators [http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001qspj3lHHpwreGmx9E7JcqMHqjiWEYNh8gHEQHj9WbOTaAnVLn1URjv4jgNWzKL2tVam9LrA2Mz5ASxV6MRmbwWM4gIEM8mQ64oHO42E6yHPAuPnjiM5yVfUznwxunXcW_9tZBzHglbA8Kuq0GeM2bxkXhEmE9eRXNjfYHU0o4wlD0-KOmIE-Mx0Ptyohfhvl_0ZcZu583uc=&c=J5u-GZJUfu9Cqnrsf1g-y5obFbikkVuoQb5VoZ9KC3k9QHEJkLd1og==&ch=G6v2-jVlpmioVWT10P2N4izmxkOeCJkFfMFkuJnyp2hm9lxCU4j6VA==].
This is a new way for ICANN to show the community how we are making progress against
our strategic objectives. This dynamic and interactive site allows you to investigate
different dimensions of what we do and who we are. It also encourages you to give
us feedback on what we're measuring and how we're displaying it.
We just published the first report [http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001qspj3lHHpwreGmx9E7JcqMHqjiWEYNh8gHEQHj9WbOTaAnVLn1URjkxfXIisIGfWGYcy1-CtzgDdcd18QfRco3a4XrWccvNV0gm6CmRuk2HxHdBauHXPHiPcQdHabIKTQQyN0l1sON3bWalwMxgSH6D-cT-Np9EOnKSG37VgDdZFp9OMd4aPrEke8MI5DLTBfoD6xcD16xfnW3hDD894LK1HwAMR5tYLkrbobBAq1vOdakilFe10DAnZhcGPWWzkLBeooXtSRTJdByiAEOONlQ==&c=J5u-GZJUfu9Cqnrsf1g-y5obFbikkVuoQb5VoZ9KC3k9QHEJkLd1og==&ch=G6v2-jVlpmioVWT10P2N4izmxkOeCJkFfMFkuJnyp2hm9lxCU4j6VA==]
on the feedback we received and the improvements we plan to make in response to 
that feedback. More than half of this feedback came from the Board, so we're seeking
more input from the community.
Please take a few minutes to read the report and review the Accountability Indicators.
Submit your comments, suggestions, and questions through the feedback links on the
webpages or email accountability-indicators-feedback at icann.org [mailto:accountability-indicators-feedback at icann.org].

Creating Content Governance and Rebuilding the Infrastructure of ICANN's Public 
Sites
It probably comes as no surprise to many of you who use www.icann.org that our content
can be difficult to find. It's an issue we have grappled with for a long time that
needs a permanent fix. On 23 September 2017, at the ICANN Board meeting in Montevideo,
Uruguay, the Board approved the Information Transparency Initiative to address this
and other problems related to our content governance.
One of the primary objectives of this initiative is to improve the findability of
ICANN's public content in all six U.N. languages. This objective is in service of
ICANN's Mission and Bylaws, will help you, the community, do your work, and will
 help us meet our commitments to accountability and transparency. Read ICANN's Duncan
Burns and David Conrad's blog [http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001qspj3lHHpwreGmx9E7JcqMHqjiWEYNh8gHEQHj9WbOTaAnVLn1URjsrtoBg7E--VFwWvdLkPFdep7NqQTrAYuseDRhpcuP2Me2lEQejt7zQQhTReZmLpWMIf6MW2he9iD0cDQt0xPLV8-stQmD4kn_sw41TZWlJ9mf5CestiOSxVtAhNTzUCSEq99JshTLKPr0WpxP-ZxY_TcSoSk0MWjzSql7vMA0CHb6guYRafMX6JvNCihUHHTrtaKT6S-HrmFyVFstjEJzzorOPNNR31Br2tUTmdlTaKt87-cOWGE50=&c=J5u-GZJUfu9Cqnrsf1g-y5obFbikkVuoQb5VoZ9KC3k9QHEJkLd1og==&ch=G6v2-jVlpmioVWT10P2N4izmxkOeCJkFfMFkuJnyp2hm9lxCU4j6VA==]

Registration Data Access Protocol (RDAP)Pilot
The ICANN organization recently announced a voluntary RDAP pilot program, which 
began on 5 September 2017 and will conclude on 31 July 2018. RDAP, which enables
 users to access current registration data, was created as a replacement for the
 WHOIS protocol. The goal of the pilot program is to develop a baseline profile 
(or profiles) to guide implementation, establish an implementation target date, 
and develop a plan for implementing an RDAP-based solution. To join the pilot program,
please complete the form on the community wiki workspace for the RDAP Pilot [http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001qspj3lHHpwreGmx9E7JcqMHqjiWEYNh8gHEQHj9WbOTaAnVLn1URjsrtoBg7E--V7E157Zi3BuM3KMENFeQHjcbc07msJO35dKg3zgLH_1CJaZKV71gDC6SZ3d7lFacV-PZpwd4cOOGg6IdGHkcSpz3t6XrLs3nt8YCQxyla3nuGpGFFsqeE0f20Sn3fpxN9BaEkbRRxmLfB9Yz8-Dm_4g==&c=J5u-GZJUfu9Cqnrsf1g-y5obFbikkVuoQb5VoZ9KC3k9QHEJkLd1og==&ch=G6v2-jVlpmioVWT10P2N4izmxkOeCJkFfMFkuJnyp2hm9lxCU4j6VA==].
