> In this edition of your newsletter, and as we hinted in the last edition,
> I wanted to report back to you on one of our important Pilot Events that we
> pioneered during the FY21 period, The Africa Engagement Forum. This
> inaugural event was hosted virtually on 19th and 20th May 2021 and
> attracted more than 211 remote participants. The forum sought to collate,
> update, follow-up and synchronize on the work done by ICANN GSE – Africa,
> as well provide a platform to share direct updates and feedback from the
> ICANN org staff and as well as the community. At the close of the forum,
> the following key recommendations and observations were made.
>
> Highlights of the Africa Engagement Forum 2021:
>
>
> - It consisted of active high-level panel discussions and sessions
> covering updates from ICANN and the community at large.
> - The community was very supportive of the Africa Engagement Forum
> overall as it demonstrated that there was indeed a lack of such space for
> discussion on ICANN specific topics in Africa.
> - It provided an opportunity for ‘ICANNers’ to deepen collaborations
> with a New friends and audience such as IGOs and RECs like the ATU.
> - Calls to ICANN org to consider running a follow-up Study on the
> Africa DNS Market.
> - There were calls for greater efforts to localize the
> Multistakeholder Processes across African Countries.
>
>
> From the feedback, it was clear that the community not only found the
> event quite valuable but also keen to see the event evolved into an annual
> forum and ICANN org would work internally to ensure this is achieved. In
> particular, I want to recommend reviewing the recordings of these three
> sessions that proved very popular:
>
>
> - High Level Panel
> - ICANN org Global Stakeholder Engagement Team - Updates
> - Africa Community Public Forum
>
>
> Thank you and I do hope that we would be able to work even more closely
> this FY22.

> Please keep safe.

> During ICANN71, the At-Large community held three policy sessions.
>
> End User Participation in ICANN PDPs and their Role within the ICANN
> Ecosystem
> This At-Large policy session explored the level of influence of Internet
> end users on ICANN policy development processes (PDPs). The session
> explored two questions:
>
> ● To what extent does the ICANN Board rely on the Internet end user
> community in making its decisions?
> ● How does the ICANN community gather opinions that are representative of
> Internet end users?
>
> ICANN President and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Göran Marby, ICANN Board
> Vice Chair León Sánchez, and ALAC Vice Chair for Policy Jonathan Zuck
> exchanged their views on end user participation in ICANN. León Sánchez
> noted that “the end user is at the center” of ICANN. The discussion also
> highlighted the important role the ALAC and At-Large community have in the
> public interest.
>
> ccTLD Governance Models: Testimonies from At-Large End Users
> In this policy session, Country Code Name Supporting Organization member
> Katrina Sataki introduced the four types of country code top-level domain
> (ccTLD) governance models consisting of academic, government, for profit,
> and not for profit. Nine At-Large members from around the world and across
> the various ccTLD governance models spoke about their experiences with the
> ccTLD operators in their country. Moderator Olivier Crépin-Leblond noted in
> his summary that all four models of ccTLD governance appear to be listening
> to end user inputs in how they serve their local community. Following
> ICANN71, the At-Large community will continue the discussion to increase
> end user input in their local ccTLD. The session organizers are considering
> a follow-up session during ICANN72 on ccTLDs and how end user input could
> be heard to a greater degree, including how to promote end user input in
> the governance of ccTLDs and which aspects of ccTLD operation have
> resonated well with end users.
>
> GDPR as a Technology: Policy Implications
> The At-Large community held a policy session on the European Union General
> Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and its technology and policy
> implications. The policy session explored the potential impact that
> advancing GDPR compliance with the use of technology will likely have on
> Internet end users, in particular the policy implications of a United
> States patent, “Systems and Methods for Preserving Privacy of a Registrant
> in a Domain Name System (DNS),” recently issued to Verisign and the level
> to which it might impact further work of the Expedited Policy Development
> Process on the Temporary Specification (EPDP-TempSpec) for Generic
> Top-Level Domain (gTLD) Registration Data. Program participants noted that
> national patents may impact ICANN policies and PDPs and may raise questions
> of enforcement. The At-Large community and other stakeholders will follow
> up on these evolving issues.
>
> There was also an AFRALO and AfrICANN meeting along with the At-Large
> EURALO social event. The African community held the 26th joint African RALO
> (AFRALO)-AfrICANN meeting to discuss regional issues and finalize a joint
> statement, “DNS Abuse Mitigation Strategies
