This At-Large Briefing Session will feature Matt Larson, Vice President of Research for the CTO office at ICANN, who will give a presentation and answer questions on the upcoming DNSSEC root key-signing key (KSK) rollover being planned by ICANN. The root KSK is the most important cryptographic key in the DNS security extensions, or DNSSEC. DNSSEC protects end users from receiving spoofed data and prevents attacks such as being misdirected to a malicious web site. This cryptographic key will be changed, or rolled over, in late 2017. While the actual change isn't happening until next year, an important aspect of the project is getting the word out to those who need to know about the change and take action, such as network administrators and software developers. As per the doodle poll, this call will take place on Wednesday, 19 October 2016 at 19:00 UTC for 60 minutes.

Background Seat number 15 of the ICANN Board of Directors is dedicated to a member selected by the At-Large Community. This seat is currently occupied by Rinalia Abdul Rahim, who assumed the position at the end of ICANN51 (2014 AGM). Her 3-year term will be completed at the closing of ICANN60 (2017 AGM). Pursuant to Section 19 of the At-Large Advisory Committee (ALAC) Rules of Procedure<http://tinyurl.com/ALAC-RoP-2016-09> (version adopted on 20 September 2016), the At-Large Community process for selecting the next Board Director began in September 2016, with the appointment of the Chairs and Members of the BCEC and the Board Member Selection Process Committee (BMSPC). The BCEC is responsible for outlining Candidate requirements and expectations, calling for, identifying, and evaluating applications, and compiling the initial slate of Candidates for the Board Director position. The BMSPC oversees the entire selection process for the At-Large Board Member, including the development of the selection timeline and the election finalizing the process. Both groups have regionally balanced membership and operate in accordance with a strict code of conduct and confidentiality. To learn more information, please visit their workspace<https://community.icann.org/x/Vxi4Aw>. This selection process is planned to be completed by Friday, 21 April 2017, with the announcement of the winner on that date. View the detailed timeline here<https://community.icann.org/x/ORq4Aw>. How to Request an Expression of Interest (EoI) Form Persons who are interested in submitting an Expression of Interest (EoI) should begin the process by reviewing the At-Large Board Member Candidate Requirements - 2017<https://community.icann.org/x/HAu4Aw> and At-Large Board Member Candidate Reference Links & Resources - 2017<https://community.icann.org/x/Jgu4Aw>.

Persons who are interested and eligible to apply for the position should then email the Program Admin Staff at program-admin(a)atlarge.icann.org<mailto:program-admin@atlarge.icann.org> and briefly indicate your interest.

Important Meeting Invitation / At-Large Briefing call on DNSSEC key roll-over 19 October 2016 at 19:00 UTC
by ICANN At-Large Staff 13 Oct '16

13 Oct '16

Dear All, On behalf of Alan Greenberg, Chair of the ALAC, we would like to invite you to the At-Large Briefing call on DNSSEC key roll-over being planned by ICANN. This At-Large Briefing Session will feature Matt Larson, Vice President of Research for the CTO office at ICANN, who will give a presentation and answer questions on the upcoming DNSSEC root key-signing key (KSK) rollover being planned by ICANN. The root KSK is the most important cryptographic key in the DNS security extensions, or DNSSEC. DNSSEC protects end users from receiving spoofed data and prevents attacks such as being misdirected to a malicious web site. This cryptographic key will be changed, or rolled over, in late 2017. While the actual change isn't happening until next year, an important aspect of the project is getting the word out to those who need to know about the change and take action, such as network administrators and software developers. As per the doodle poll, this call will take place on Wednesday, 19 October 2016 at 19:00 UTC for 60 minutes. For other times: http://tinyurl.com/zzsptjz[tinyurl.com]<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__tinyurl.com_zzsptjz&d=D…> ALL ALAC Members and Regional Leaders are encouraged to participate. The agenda (to be updated) and call details are available at: https://community.icann.org/x/KyC4Aw[community.icann.org]<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__community.icann.org_x_…> Adobe Connect: https://participate.icann.org/atlarge-briefing-session/ French and Spanish interpretation will be provided.

Dear All, Following the Drafting Team's request for input concerning pertinent issues that would prevent adoption of the proposed charter for the new gTLD Auction Proceeds Cross-Community Working Group from all ICANN SO/ACs (see https://community.icann.org/x/7Bq4Aw<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__community.icann.org_x_…>), the Drafting Team has received a request from the GNSO leadership team to have a webinar to allow for a walk through of the charter followed by Q & A to address any questions there might be. As such, a webinar will be organized on Thursday 13 October at 16.00 UTC. This webinar will also be open to other SO/ACs as others may have been similarly challenged to give the proposed charter due consideration (note, to date only formal input has been received from the ccNSO (see https://community.icann.org/x/7Bq4Aw<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__community.icann.org_x_…>). If you are interested in participating, please confirm your attendance at gnso-secs(a)icann.org<mailto:gnso-secs@icann.org>. Note that the webinar will be recorded and transcribed.

As you may recall, representatives of all ICANN SO/ACs, apart from the ccNSO (which decided not to take part in the DT effort), participated in the DT deliberations (see https://community.icann.org/x/AR_AAw[community.icann.org]<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__community.icann.org_x_…> for DT members). This proposed charter is the result of extensive input and deliberations, including careful review of input that was received as part of the cross-community session at ICANN 56 in Helsinki (see https://community.icann.org/x/fgmbAw)[community.icann.org]<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__community.icann.org_x_…> and we believe it now represents a careful balance between the different viewpoints and perspectives, including from both the DT Members and the ICANN Board liaisons to the DT. As such, the DT would like to request you review the proposed charter with this careful balance in mind and only flag to the DT any pertinent issues that would prevent your respective SO/AC from adopting this charter. We would like to request you highlight such pertinent issues by 30 September 2016 at the latest, including an indication of when you anticipate your respective SO/AC to be in a position to consider the charter for adoption following 30 September, provided that no pertinent issues have been identified by any of the ICANN SO/ACs. Of course, should you have any clarifying questions, please do not hesitate to respond to this message. The DT looks forward to receiving your feedback. Best wishes, Jonathan Robinson, DT Chair & Alan Greenberg, DT Vice-Chair

Announcement on IANA Stewardship Transition
by Rinalia Abdul Rahim 03 Oct '16

03 Oct '16

Dear Members of the At-Large Community, *The IANA Stewardship Transition is Complete* Today, on 1 October, the IANA functions contract between ICANN and NTIA expired. The expiration of the contract between ICANN and the United States National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA), to perform the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) functions, will have no impact on end users of the Internet; they will not see any changes or difference in their use of the Internet. This historic moment marks the transition of the coordination and management of the Internet’s unique identifiers to the private-sector, a process that has been committed to and underway since 1998. The ICANN Community, Board and staff as well as the larger Internet community took on this challenge, over two and a half years, and succeeded. Developing the transition proposals was unprecedented, and reflected the multistakeholder community at work. Because of the hard work by everyone, the ICANN organization is now a more accountable and transparent body. There will be some small changes to how ICANN operates, but its underlying goal is the same – to support the Community and ensure the continued stable and secure operation of the DNS. It has been a privilege to be a part of this process where the multistakeholder model of Internet Governance demonstrated its power. I wanted to take a moment to thank and congratulate all of you for your hard work over the past two and a half years to get us to where we are today. Best regards, Rinalia Abdul Rahim ICANN Board Director Links to announcements that have gone out about the IANA Stewardship transition: http://www.ntia.doc.gov/press-release/2016/statement-assista nt-secretary-strickling-iana-functions-contract https://www.icann.org/news/blog/final-implementation-update https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2016-09-30-en https://www.icann.org/news/blog/cheers-to-the-multistakeholder-community

IANA Functions Strewardship transition done / La transition de la supervision des fonctions de l'IANA est faite
by Tijani BEN JEMAA 03 Oct '16

03 Oct '16

English below ————————— Cher tous, La transition de la supervision des fonctions de l’IANA du gouvernement des Etats Unis d’Amérique (EUA) à la communauté est désormais chose faite après le rejet de la court d’une demande urgente de bloquer la transition présentée par les avocats généraux de 4 états républicains aux EUA. ICANN est entrée dans une nouvelle ère, avec de nouveaux statuts et de nouvelles règles de gouvernance. Ces changements ne doivent en aucun cas affecter le bon fonctionnement de l’Internet, sa stabilité et sa sécurité. —————————— Dear all, The transition of the IANA functions stewardship from the US Government to the multi-stakeholder community is now done after the rejection by the court of an emergency request to block the transition sought by 4 Republican state (of the USA) attorneys general, who argued it would be unconstitutional and could violate free speech. ICANN is entring a new era with new bylaws and new rules of governance. These changes must not affect the stability, security and resiliency of the Internet. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tijani BEN JEMAA Executive Director Mediterranean Federation of Internet Associations (FMAI) Phone: +216 98 330 114 +216 52 385 114 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
