The first was held today, titled "Introduction to ICANN and the Domain Name System". The series of workshops aim to build awareness in the local community on how to participate in ICANN and engage effectively in Tunisia. The initiative is part of an academic engagement program co-organized by ICANN and CCK with support of local community experts who will present on the specific workshop topics. The workshops are considered pilot projects for the region and are an outcome of the Middle East DNS Forum in Tunis[tunis2016.mednsf.org]<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__tunis2016.mednsf.org_en…> earlier this year. Through the assessment of the initiative in Tunisia, ICANN is exploring the opportunities to organize similar events in other countries of the region in the future. The workshops are aimed at undergraduate and graduate students from any discipline, with an interest in the Internet and its various components. Participants will be instructed on real-life examples to theoretical knowledge, on the Internet ecosystem with a focus on ICANN's work and the Internet's Unique Identifiers. The workshops will cover a range of topics that will be customized to accommodate the diverse academic backgrounds of the participants including: * ICANN and the IANA Functions * The Domain Name System (DNS) * DNS Security Extensions (DNSSEC) * IP Addresses (IPv4 and IPv6) * Internet Governance Through the Youth Educational initiative, ICANN looks towards creating stronger associations with the youth community as well as the academic institutes in the region, to help increase awareness and participation in ICANN's work and the Internet Governance processes.

Comments will be accepted until 23:59 UTC on 12 December 2016. Comment on the policy[icann.org]<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.icann.org_public-2…>. The policy, which was published for implementation on 26 July 2016, has been rescinded. It will no longer take effect on 1 February 2017, as originally scheduled. ICANN intends to consider all comments on the revised version and then issue a new policy and effective date in the first quarter of 2017. In the revised version of the Registry Registration Data Directory Services Consistent Labeling and Display Policy, ICANN has removed language that requires registries to implement the Registration Data Access Protocol (RDAP). The protocol will be mandated through contractual agreement rather than through consensus policy. About ICANN ICANN's mission is to help ensure a stable, secure and unified global Internet. To reach another person on the Internet, you have to type an address into your computer - a name or a number. That address has to be unique so computers know where to find each other. ICANN helps coordinate and support these unique identifiers across the world. ICANN was formed in 1998 as a not-for-profit public-benefit corporation and a community with participants from all over the world. ICANN and its community help keep the Internet secure, stable and interoperable. It also promotes competition and develops policy for the top-level of the Internet's naming system and facilitates the use of other unique Internet identifiers.
