However, more still needs to be done to ensure these benefits are fully realized, including broader adoption of Universal Acceptance (UA). ICANN’s North American Stakeholder Engagement team is hosting an important discussion on this topic at ICANN77 featuring experts from UNESCO and the domain name industry. Today, not all TLDs are treated equally. A technology as simple as an email address may not work if it belongs to a TLD with more than six characters or is written in scripts that reflect the diversity of languages used globally. As ICANN prepares for the next round of TLDs it is crucial that these issues are addressed and overcome. Our mission is one world, one Internet. The session [r20.rs6.net]<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001uywElMKaUZd3SHFF…> is scheduled on 13 June 2023 at 17:45 UTC at the Marriott Marquis; remote participation will be available. MEET THE NA COMMUNITY Sabrina Wilkinson Canada [ICANN77 NA Community Profile Photo] Sabrina Wilkinson is a Policy Program Manager at the Canadian Internet Registration Authority (CIRA). This member-based not-for-profit organization is best known for managing the .ca top-level domain on behalf of all Canadians. She has attended three ICANN Public Meetings. Wilkinson was introduced to the ICANN community as a NextGen@ICANN participant at ICANN63 in Barcelona, Spain, in 2018. Wilkinson has since participated in ICANN67 virtually as a NextGen@ICANN ambassador in 2020, and at ICANN76 in Cancún, Mexico, as a representative of CIRA in 2023. Wilkinson received a Ph.D. in research from Goldsmiths, University of London, where she investigated the politics of Canadian digital policy development. She completed research fellowships at the University of Ottawa’s Centre for Law, Technology, and Society and McGill’s Centre for Media, Technology, and Democracy. MEET THE ICANN77 FELLOWS “The Fellowship Program is an eye-opener for me because I realize that there is so much to do and so many things that can be done. Only together can we bring positive change to our communities.” Shreedeep Rayamajhi Nepal [ICANN77 Shreedeep Rayamajhi Fellows Photo] A professional journalist based in Nepal, Shreedeep Rayamajhi is a current member of the Asia Pacific Regional Internet Governance Forum Multistakeholder Steering Group and a founding member of the Internet Society’s Nepal chapter. Representing Internet end users, Rayamajhi also served as the chair of the Asia, Australasian, and Pacific Islands Regional At-Large Organization’s Policy Forum. He is passionate about communication and social media engagement and led the At-Large Social Media Working Group from ICANN67 to ICANN70. He was the General Secretary of the Asia Pacific School of Internet Governance (2019–2021). Rayamajhi acknowledges that it is not easy to bring all stakeholders in Internet governance together. However, he believes it is essential to give marginalized communities not just a voice, but a seat at the table. WELCOME NEXTGEN@ICANN “The Internet will serve us as a life-transforming medium if we all contribute to safeguarding it. So, get involved.” Lily Edinam Botsyoe United States of America [Lily Edinam Botsyoe ICANN77 NextGen Photo] Lily Edinam Botsyoe, a graduate student at the University of Cincinnati, researches the deployment of technology in service of public needs. Originally from Ghana, she is an ardent contributor to technology communities and speaks widely on Internet-related issues with a particular focus on women and youth inclusion, accessibility, cybersecurity, privacy, and digital sustainability. Botsyoe’s interest in ICANN stems from her quest to learn about the distribution of Internet number resources as it relates to technology policy. As a believer in the power of technology to accelerate development, her work focuses on human-centered approaches to building technology. In the Internet governance space, Botsyoe serves in various steering committees in West Africa and was an American Registry for Internet Numbers fellow.
