If you missed it, visit the schedule [r20.rs6.net]<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001NJpmnISyktrbm0D5…> for the session materials and recordings. Agenda The fourth ccNSO policy development process (ccPDP4) continued its development of policy recommendations for the (de-)selection of Internationalized Domain Name (IDN) country code top-level domains (ccTLDs) associated with countries, territories, or other areas of geopolitical interest listed in the International Organization for Standardization 3166-1 standard. During this session, the working group evaluated input received during the ICANN74 ccNSO Policy Update session and began to stress test draft policy recommendations, which include: · Root Zone Label Generation Rules shall be used for the validation and selection of strings as variants. · Similar to the selected IDN ccTLD string, its variants should be limited to meaningful representations of the name of the territory in the designated language and related script. Highlights The ccPDP4 Working Group completed its review and discussion of the 2013 policy proposals for the IDN ccTLD string selection process and formed three subgroups: · Variant Management: The variant management subgroup works in close coordination with the Generic Names Supporting Organization (GNSO) Expedited Policy Development Process (EPDP) on IDNs. The variant management subgroup continues its review of the IDN TLD recommendations. · (De-)Selection of IDN ccTLDs: The (de-)selection of IDN ccTLDs subgroup is tasked with defining the trigger event(s) that will start the retirement process for an IDN ccTLD and its variants. The proposal complements the ccNSO-recommended policy on the retirement of ccTLDs. · Confusing Similarity Review: The confusing similarity review subgroup was convened in March 2022 and is running in parallel with GNSO EPDP IDNs efforts in this area. Next Steps There are areas of potential overlap between the work by the Variant Management subgroup and the ccPDP4 Working Group that need to be clarified. The outcome of ccPDP4 will eventually replace the current IDN ccTLD Fast Track Process. Photo of the Day: The ICANN74 NextGen@ICANN participants pose outside World Forum The Hague.

SESSION HIGHLIGHTS RSS Governance Working Group The ICANN Board convened the Root Server System (RSS) Governance Working Group (GWG) [r20.rs6.net]<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001NJpmnISyktrbm0D5…> to develop a final model of RSS governance and root server operator accountability based on RSSAC037. To inform the development of the final model, the Root Server System Advisory Committee published success criteria for RSS governance. Since then, the GWG has dedicated its work sessions to reviewing the success criteria. The GWG will have four work sessions today focused on: applying the success criteria, reviewing the affiliate organization model, reviewing the Supporting Organization model, and determining its next steps.

Updates on Geopolitical, Legislative, and Regulatory Developments [r20.rs6.net]<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001NJpmnISyktrbm0D5…> | 16 June, 14:30 UTC SESSION RECAP ccNSO: ccPDP4 Working Group on Selection IDN ccTLD Strings This session took place on Tuesday, 14 June. If you missed it, visit the schedule [r20.rs6.net]<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001NJpmnISyktrbm0D5…> for the session materials and recordings. Agenda The fourth ccNSO policy development process (ccPDP4) continued its development of policy recommendations for the (de-)selection of Internationalized Domain Name (IDN) country code top-level domains (ccTLDs) associated with countries, territories, or other areas of geopolitical interest listed in the International Organization for Standardization 3166-1 standard. During this session, the working group evaluated input received during the ICANN74 ccNSO Policy Update session and began to stress test draft policy recommendations, which include: · Root Zone Label Generation Rules shall be used for the validation and selection of strings as variants. · Similar to the selected IDN ccTLD string, its variants should be limited to meaningful representations of the name of the territory in the designated language and related script. Highlights The ccPDP4 Working Group completed its review and discussion of the 2013 policy proposals for the IDN ccTLD string selection process and formed three subgroups: · Variant Management: The variant management subgroup works in close coordination with the Generic Names Supporting Organization (GNSO) Expedited Policy Development Process (EPDP) on IDNs. The variant management subgroup continues its review of the IDN TLD recommendations. · (De-)Selection of IDN ccTLDs: The (de-)selection of IDN ccTLDs subgroup is tasked with defining the trigger event(s) that will start the retirement process for an IDN ccTLD and its variants. The proposal complements the ccNSO-recommended policy on the retirement of ccTLDs. · Confusing Similarity Review: The confusing similarity review subgroup was convened in March 2022 and is running in parallel with GNSO EPDP IDNs efforts in this area. Next Steps There are areas of potential overlap between the work by the Variant Management subgroup and the ccPDP4 Working Group that need to be clarified. The outcome of ccPDP4 will eventually replace the current IDN ccTLD Fast Track Process. Photo of the Day: The ICANN74 NextGen@ICANN participants pose outside World Forum The Hague.

ICANN NEWS ICANN FY23 and FY24 Planning Process Update By Becky Nash, Vice President, Planning I would like to update you on the status of the fiscal year 2023 (FY23) and FY24 Planning process and the Planning Prioritization Framework Pilot. The FY23–27 Operating and Financial Plan and FY23 Operating Plan and Budget are on track to be considered for adoption by the ICANN Board, as indicated in this published announcement [r20.rs6.net]<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001ONw22blnduVxwIpO…>. As for the FY24 strategic planning process, ICANN org has completed the first phase. The objective was to collect input on trends that may impact ICANN org's remit across five focus areas: financials, geopolitics, governance, security, and unique identifier systems. As part of the Planning Prioritization Framework Project [r20.rs6.net]<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001ONw22blnduVxwIpO…>, a pilot was conducted in collaboration with the ICANN community on a specific scope of work: Board-approved Specific Review recommendations. The Final Prioritized List [r20.rs6.net]<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001ONw22blnduVxwIpO…> of prioritized Board-approved Specific Review recommendations from the pilot is now published on the Finance and Planning Community workspace.

Updates on ICANN's DNS Security Threat Mitigation Program [https://files.constantcontact.com/d2ded047401/fd5774cf-82fa-41ff-9d6e-fdce1…] By Russ Weinstein, Vice President, GDD Accounts and Services ICANN organization is committed to doing what it can, within its mission, to mitigate Domain Name System (DNS) security threats. To support this, ICANN org has created the DNS Security Threat Mitigation Program [r20.rs6.net]<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001ONw22blnduVxwIpO…>, a dedicated cross-functional team focused on the mitigation of DNS security threats, including malware, phishing, and botnets. As we approach the end of the fiscal year, we wanted to provide an update on this program and its many achievements and advancements. In March, ICANN published its first DNS Abuse Trends Report [r20.rs6.net]<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001ONw22blnduVxwIpO…>, which was based on data from the Domain Abuse Activity Reporting System (DAAR) [r20.rs6.net]<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001ONw22blnduVxwIpO…>. ICANN developed DAAR to monitor domain abuse and registration activity across top-level domains (TLDs). As part of its effort to evolve the DAAR system, ICANN org is planning to extend the reporting data to the registrar level. The primary impediment to implementing registrar reporting has been the consistent and dependable access to the registrar ID for each domain name registration. We are pleased to report that we have reached an agreement to amend the Base gTLD Registry Agreement. The change would allow ICANN org to use an existing data set provided by registries for research purposes. ICANN org anticipates this change will be available for Public Comment in the coming months.

Agenda This session explored the overall nature of prioritization at ICANN and discussed progress since the plenary session during ICANN59 [r20.rs6.net]<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001ONw22blnduVxwIpO…> in June 2017. The ICANN community, Board, and org shared best practices, reflected on recent coordination efforts such as the Prioritization Framework Pilot Project [r20.rs6.net]<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001ONw22blnduVxwIpO…>, and sought to identify ways to improve the shared use of limited resources and time. ICANN org developed a briefing paper [r20.rs6.net]<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001ONw22blnduVxwIpO…> to provide participants a basic understanding of the topic. Highlights · Plenary Session Chair Alejandra Reynoso welcomed participants, and ccNSO Vice Chair Jordan Carter opened the session by noting that the Planning Prioritization Framework is underway. · Matthew Shears of the ICANN Board noted the importance of collaborative strategic planning among the ICANN community, Board, and org. · ICANN Senior Vice President of Planning Xavier Calvez reiterated that the Prioritization Framework Pilot Project was designed to help the ICANN ecosystem prioritize its work within the planning cycle in a manner that is transparent, inclusive, and efficient. · The moderators, ccNSO Councilor Chris Disspain and Registrar Stakeholder Group Chair Ashley Heineman, started with a poll to gauge the awareness of ICANN priorities. Of the participants, 24% were very aware, 59% were somewhat aware, and 17% were not aware of ICANN priorities. · During the discussion, participants: · Affirmed the importance of ICANN’s transparency in setting its priorities. · Expressed concerns about the efficiency and robustness of the planning process and the roles and responsibilities of the ICANN community, Board, and org in relation to prioritization. · Applauded the multistakeholder model and emphasized the role of each ICANN community group in setting its own priorities. Themes · There is shared responsibility for prioritization across the ICANN Board, org, and community. · Planning processes, such as the annual operating plan and budget and the strategic plan, are needed for accountability and transparency. Next Steps The ICANN community representatives participating in the Prioritization Framework Pilot Project have been prioritizing the implementation of Specific Review recommendations. Eventually, the framework will expand to incorporate ICANN org policy implementation. Discussions like this will continue as the ICANN community, Board, and org review progress and identify shifting priorities.

Through this action, the Board accepts the ICANN community’s recommendations and looks to the ICANN organization (org) to start a new phase of work: design, planning, and implementing an ICANN grant-giving program. Through this program, millions of dollars will be delivered to projects around the world to support the global interoperability, reliability, and security of the Internet’s unique identifiers. This decision materializes the Board’s long-standing promise to the community that disbursement of the auction proceeds would be done in line with community-developed proposals. The CCWG-AP was tasked with delivering proposals to the Board for how the proceeds accrued from the auctions of last resort in the 2012 New Generic Top-Level Domain (gTLD) Program should be distributed. The Community devoted years of work to reach consensus recommendations, which form the basis of a grant-making program that has the potential to positively impact the Internet ecosystem and people across the world in furtherance of ICANN’s mission. The Board looks forward to org developing a program in line with the community’s recommendations.

ICANN NEWS Ushering in the Next Generation of Root Zone Management [https://files.constantcontact.com/d2ded047401/82818c86-ed0d-4b35-867a-3d9f9…] By Kim Davies, VP, IANA Services and President of PTI A little over 10 years ago, ICANN helped launch the Root Zone Management System [r20.rs6.net]<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001gnZVx_0wPkDIfhlM…> (RZMS), a suite of interrelated components that modernized the management of the Domain Name System root zone. Some of the improvements it brought included automating many phases of processing, which improved processing accuracy and reduced processing times. Another improvement was launching a self-service portal that allowed managers of top-level domains to perform common tasks by themselves. RZMS's origins date back to the early 2000s. While it has fulfilled its objective well, over time our needs have grown and some of the designs built into the original system have constrained our ability to evolve the platform moving forward. ICANN org's Engineering and Information Technology team, which develops the RZMS, made the decision to rebuild the entire platform from the ground up, to create a modern modular system that would be more adaptable to future needs. For more details on the next steps and upcoming launch, read my blog [r20.rs6.net]<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001gnZVx_0wPkDIfhlM…>. Update on ICANN Work Stream 2 Implementation By Giovanni Seppia, VP, Implementation Operations ICANN org has made significant progress addressing Work Stream 2 (WS2) implementation since our last update. WS2 of the Cross-Community Working Group on Enhancing ICANN Accountability comprises nearly 100 accountability and transparency-related recommendations, directed at ICANN org, the ICANN Board, and the ICANN community, which serve to ensure ICANN remains accountable to the multistakeholder community. At the end of the first calendar quarter of 2022 (Q1 2022), 13 recommendations directed at ICANN org were complete (up from eight at the end of Q4 2021), while implementation was in progress for 39 recommendations (up from 30 in Q4 2021). The end of FY22 is the targeted completion date for many recommendations, including addressing the remaining implementation guidance on the transparency of ICANN's Board deliberations, enhancing existing staff accountability mechanisms and publishing service level targets, and developing of a web page containing information relating to ICANN and the ICANN community's work on human rights.

If you missed it, visit the schedule [r20.rs6.net]<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001gnZVx_0wPkDIfhlM…> for the session materials and recordings. Agenda The Generic Names Supporting Organization (GNSO) Council recently formed a small team to assist with its analysis of the System for Standardized Access/Disclosure (SSAD) Operational Design Assessment (ODA). This team is tasked with evaluating whether the ODA has correctly interpreted the intent of the SSAD recommendations and has not overlooked any important aspects. Additionally, the small team was tasked with providing the GNSO Council with its view on concerns identified by the ICANN Board and potential options for addressing the concerns. Highlights · The small team presented its work as reflected in the Preliminary Report [r20.rs6.net]<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001gnZVx_0wPkDIfhlM…>, which it shared with the GNSO Council in April. The report resulted in a letter from the GNSO Council to the Board recommending that the Board pause consideration of the SSAD recommendations. The letter also requested ICANN org to develop a design concept, known as a proof of concept, for the WHOIS Disclosure System (SSAD Light). · The small team considered the impact of SSAD Light on other GNSO Council work. This discussion was informed by a presentation from ICANN org that outlined how utilizing existing ICANN systems could reduce the resources and time needed to build the SSAD Light. Next Steps The GNSO Council will further consider the impact of developing a design concept for the WHOIS Disclosure System on other activities during its Council meeting on Wednesday, 15 June.

Therefore, I am not only looking forward to learning more about ICANN’s work, but also about how to make ICANN’s mission more accessible to young people.” Mirabella Knoben Germany After beginning her law studies at the University of Münster in 2018, Mirabella Knoben quickly realized that she was deeply interested in Internet governance. Consequently, she decided to focus on Internet, telecommunications, and media law and she attended various classes on information law, media law, copyright law, and data protection law. In her seminar paper, similar to a bachelor’s thesis, Knoben wrote about algorithmically regulated content and freedom of speech. In the paper, she mentioned ICANN’s multistakeholder model as a possible solution model for respecting human rights. Knoben’s first ICANN meeting was ICANN59 in Johannesburg. It made clear to her that she wanted to get more deeply involved with ICANN.
