ICANN News Alert -- ICANN Releases its Second Report on Global Legislative and Regulatory Developments
by ICANN At-Large Staff Aug. 31, 2018

Aug. 31, 2018

[CANN][icann.org]<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__www.icann.org_&d=DwMFaQ…> News Alert https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2018-08-30-en [icann.org]<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.icann.org_news_ann…> ________________________________ ICANN Releases its Second Report on Global Legislative and Regulatory Developments 30 August 2018 ISTANBUL - 30 August 2018 - The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) published today the second report [icann.org]<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.icann.org_en_syste…> [PDF, 214 KB] l highlighting a limited list of recent and pending legislative and regulatory initiatives on privacy/data protection and cybersecurity across the world. The report is a continuation of the initiative launched earlier this April, to identify legislative efforts across the globe early-on to raise awareness within ICANN and consider potential impacts, including how these legislative initiatives may have unintended consequences, which may be avoided. As a result of the community discussions over the past year or so leading up to the GDPR going into full effect, ICANN CEO and President Göran Marby committed to identify key legislative efforts around the globe while in their earlier stages. To this end, ICANN org initiated [icann.org]<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.icann.org_news_blo…> reporting efforts on global legislative and regulatory developments during the third quarter of FY18. The first report [icann.org]<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.icann.org_en_syste…> [PDF, 97 KB] was a limited list of some recent legislative and regulatory initiatives around the world that relate to privacy/data protection and cybersecurity issues and that could impact ICANN's mission, operations or issues within ICANN's remit. It was the first product of a realization that ICANN, as both an org and a community, must pay closer attention to potential legislative efforts of interest across the world. The initial report received wide attention with a viewership of over six hundred unique visits. The community feedback on the report was positive, which paved the way for the continuation of the report on a quarterly basis. We would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has reviewed and provided feedback on the first report. We look forward to hearing from you about any high-impact developments in the e-privacy and cybersecurity ecosystem that should be tracked in future reports. You can send your comments and/or information about new developments in your region to trackingfeedback(a)icann.org<mailto:trackingfeedback@icann.org>.

ICANN News Alert -- ICANN Publishes Comprehensive Guide on What to Expect During the Root KSK Rollover
by ICANN At-Large Staff Aug. 27, 2018

Aug. 27, 2018

[CANN][icann.org]<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__www.icann.org_&d=DwMFaQ…> News Alert https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2018-08-22-en [icann.org]<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.icann.org_news_ann…> ________________________________ ICANN Publishes Comprehensive Guide on What to Expect During the Root KSK Rollover 22 August 2018 LOS ANGELES – 22 August 2018 – As the ICANN Organization prepares, for the first time ever, to change the cryptographic keys that help protect the Internet's Domain Name System (DNS), the organization has published a guide to let people know what to expect. The changing of the keys, known as the "Root Key Signing Key (KSK) Rollover", is currently scheduled for 11 October 2018. The new ICANN guide is intended for those with all levels of technical expertise. It will help everyone prepare for the rollover by detailing what to expect. It is part of the ICANN Organization's ongoing efforts to raise awareness of the rollover and will also afford details about the rollover process. The guide can be accessed here [icann.org]<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.icann.org_en_syste…> [PDF, 107 KB]. Those who will find the guide most useful are operators of validating resolvers seeking clear direction on what to look for once the rollover occurs; non-technical journalists, bloggers and others who intend to write about the rollover before, during, and after the event will also benefit. Additionally, the document can be of value researchers who will be monitoring the DNS for indications of resolver failure after the rollover occurs. While ICANN org expects user impact from the root KSK rollover to be minimal [icann.org]<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.icann.org_news_blo…>, a small percentage of Internet users are expected to see problems in resolving domain names, which in lay terms means they will have problems reaching their online destination. There are currently a small number of Domain Name System Security Extensions (DNSSEC) validating recursive resolvers that are misconfigured, and some of the users relying upon these resolvers may experience problems. This document describes which users are most likely to see problems, and among those - what types of issues they will face at various times. To summarize: Those who will not be affected: * Users who rely on a resolver that has the new KSK * Users who rely on a resolver that does not perform DNSSEC validation Those who will be affected and how: * If all of a users' resolvers do not have the new KSK in their trust anchor configuration, the user will start seeing name resolution failures (typically "server failure" or SERVFAIL errors) at some point within 48 hours of the rollover. NOTE: It is impossible to predict when the operators of affected resolvers will notice that validation is failing for them. Data analysis suggests that more than 99% of users whose resolvers are validating will be unaffected by the KSK rollover. Users who use at least one resolver that is ready for the rollover will see no change in their use of the DNS or the Internet in general after the rollover. (The same is true for users whose resolvers do not perform DNSSEC validation at all. Current estimates are that about two-thirds of users are behind resolvers that do not yet perform DNSSEC validation.) Lastly, while the rollover is currently planned to take place on 11 October 2018, this date is pending ratification by the ICANN Board. ## To keep informed about KSK Rollover developments go here: https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/ksk-rollover [icann.org]<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.icann.org_resource…> On social media use: #Keyroll ### About ICANN ICANN's mission is to help ensure a stable, secure, and unified global Internet.
