Thank you all for your hard work this week, and I’ll see you again at ICANN84! Join Us in Muscat for ICANN84 [View of the skyline overlooking Muscat, Oman at dusk] By Baher Esmat, VP, Stakeholder Engagement - Middle East & Managing Director - Middle East and Africa As we conclude a productive ICANN83 in Prague, our attention turns to what’s next. ICANN84 will be held 25 to 30 October 2025 in Muscat, Oman, hosted at the Oman Convention and Exhibition Centre. ICANN84 will serve as ICANN’s 2025 Annual General Meeting, and as an important opportunity for the global community to assess progress, plan for the future, and continue advancing the policies and technical work that support the secure and stable operation of the Internet. Taking place in Muscat, Oman, this meeting also marks a return to the Middle East, a region that continues to play a vital role in Internet development and multistakeholder engagement. Oman, with its growing digital infrastructure and longstanding commitment to innovation, provides a meaningful backdrop for these important discussions. Whether you’re deeply involved in policy discussions or just beginning to engage with ICANN’s work, I encourage you to join us. ICANN84 will be shaped by the voices in the room, virtual or physical, and we look forward to hearing yours.

SESSION HIGHLIGHTS At-Large Plenary 2: Progressing DNS Abuse Mitigation Efforts Within ICANN The At-Large Advisory Committee (ALAC) and the At-Large Community continue to believe that more can be done to combat DNS abuse on a number of fronts. Apart from strengthening ICANN org’s ability to act against errant ICANN Contracted Parties that fail to carry out their contractual obligations in mitigating DNS Abuse, the ALAC intends to explore ways to mitigate more effectively harm emanating from maliciously registered domain names before such harm can be inflicted on Internet end-users. To this end, beginning at ICANN83, the ALAC will convene a series of collaborative conversations involving the ICANN community, to support stronger cross-community understanding of continuing widespread abuse cases for better scoping and identification of possible solutions for the same. This session aims to collaboratively: (1) recap more recent initiatives targeted at mitigating DNS Abuse; (2) identify and scope types of abuse perpetrated using maliciously registered domain names which continue to occur rampantly; and (3) explore feasible mitigation or preventive solutions and possible paths to secure such solutions.

It will examine how registrars evaluate urgency, and make disclosure decisions while respecting privacy, freedom of expression, and due process. It also discusses the authentication practices of third- party requestors (especially law enforcement agencies) authentication practices. The session will also discuss the role of data accuracy and whether ICANN’s pilot experimental Registration Data Request Services (RDRS) can provide sufficient safeguards and transparency for the triage of third-party requests. The session will consider how registrars balance obligations with fundamental rights and whether a rapid Human Rights Impact Assessment (HRIA) framework could support more consistent, rights-respecting disclosure practices. Organized by NCSG in consultation with subject matter experts from different stakeholder groups, this session aims to advance community dialogue on aligning disclosure mechanisms with ICANN’s multistakeholder model and international human rights standards.

If you missed it or want to review, visit the session pages for Session One [nj88a9rab.cc.rs6.net]<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/nj88a9rab.cc.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001Ato9D9Z…> and Session Two [nj88a9rab.cc.rs6.net]<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/nj88a9rab.cc.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001Ato9D9Z…> to view the available session materials and recordings. The Latin Script Diacritics Policy Development Process Working Group (LD PDP WG) continued to develop its initial report. During two working sessions at ICANN83, the group discussed the recommendations from the Expedited PDP on Internationalized Domain Names [nj88a9rab.cc.rs6.net]<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/nj88a9rab.cc.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001Ato9D9Z…> (EPDP-IDNs) and their applicability to and relevance for the LD PDP. The PDP is aimed at examining how to delegate the limited cases in which a base ASCII gTLD and the Latin script diacritic version(s) of the gTLD are not variants of each other. Throughout the two working sessions, there were robust discussions on the applicability of the output recommendations of EPDP-IDNs, and the LD PDP WG completed its review of the Phase 1 recommendations [nj88a9rab.cc.rs6.net]<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/nj88a9rab.cc.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001Ato9D9Z…>. The group also examined edge cases and opportunities to aid in allowing an exceptions process for sets of ASCII and Latin diacritic script gTLDs. The LD PDP WG will continue to review the EPDP-IDN recommendations from Phase 2 to determine their applicability for this PDP. The group also will continue working to complete its narrowly scoped PDP within the proposed timeframe, and deliver an initial report by February 2026.

He was invited by Jinhe Liu, assistant professor in the School of Journalism and Communication, and a former ICANN Fellow who is now active in the community. The presentation marked the third time Zhang has discussed the multistakeholder model in the course since it was launched in 2023. Following an interactive presentation, the students, for the first time, organized a simulation session that tried to utilize the multistakeholder model to resolve a real-life issue. After a successful premiere, more simulation sessions are planned. The course provides a great opportunity to share ICANN’s key messages on the multistakeholder model of policymaking among future leaders, especially because Peking University is one of the most prestigious universities in the APAC region. While the class is currently an elective course within the School of Journalism and Communication, the long-term goal is to turn it into a university-level elective course.

Mbah hopes to gain a deeper understanding of ICANN’s ecosystem and policy development processes and to build meaningful relationships with mentors and fellow young leaders from around the world. “The decisions we make today will define how open, safe, and inclusive the Internet remains for future generations.” ICANN COMMUNITY SPOTLIGHT Thiago Grijo Dal Toe Participant, Governmental Advisory Committee (GAC) [Thiago Grijo Dal Toe] "Engaging in ICANN contributes to governments’ understanding of how the Internet’s technical foundation works, improving our decision-making process and impacting how we can work on it. ⁠ In Colombia, we care about giving our citizens the best possible experience of digital transformation. That’s why we engage with ICANN – to guarantee our practices do not disrupt the Internet's mission or unintentionally disadvantage users. It’s vital that we invite the different stakeholders to engage in fruitful conversations about the use of the Internet, and create consensus to take action on the challenges presented by its evolution and growth. By encouraging local internet governance groups to engage in meaningful discussions in support of the multistakeholder model. Reminding the multiple stakeholders of Colombia the different challenges we face, and inviting them to be involved in the community and participate in the discussions and events that helps to ensure a free and stable internet for all."

[nj88a9rab.cc.rs6.net]<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/nj88a9rab.cc.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001XMWGBJU…> As of April 2025, there were more than 176 National and Regional IGF initiatives (NRIs) around the world. One of the most recent additions is Ireland. While a latecomer to the NRI collective, Ireland’s inaugural IGF had an impressive line-up of speakers, headed by Minister Patrick O'Donovan, and panel discussions on regulating online spaces, geopolitics, diversity and inclusion, and – the hot topic of many IGFs this year – ethical Artificial Intelligence. Panelists were a mix of Irish and European experts, favoring local points of view. The event organizing team was led by the .ie Country Code Top Level Domain operator and the Department of the Environment, Climate and Communications. ICANN is pleased to be a supporter of IGF Ireland. MEET THE EMEA COMMUNITY Regina Filipová Fuchsová, PhD Czech Republic [Regina Filipová Fuchsová] Regina Filipová Fuchsová is the industry relations manager at EURid, the registry operator for the .eu top-level domain. With academic training in economics and law, she has worked in Internet governance and domain name policy since 2007. In recent years, Fuchsová’s role has brought her into closer collaboration with ICANN, particularly through the Country Code Names Supporting Organization (ccNSO). Fuchsová will continue her work as vice-chair of the ccNSO Universal Acceptance Committee at ICANN83. She is particularly focused on identifying the enablers and barriers to Universal Acceptance (UA) for ccTLDs and strengthening cooperation with local governments to support UA adoption. She’s also passionate about IDNs, youth engagement, and broadening participation in Internet governance processes. Beyond ICANN, Fuchsová is an active contributor to EuroDIG, Internet Governance Forum, and Internet Society initiatives. She recently co-organized a multistakeholder event in Prague on Internet governance and disinformation challenges. Her message to the ICANN community: collaboration across stakeholder groups is essential to ensuring that the Internet remains inclusive, secure, and accessible for future generations. MEET THE ICANN83 FELLOWS Noveck Gowandan Trinidad and Tobago [Noveck Gowandan] Noveck Gowandan is a highly experienced information and communication technology professional and governance researcher at the University of the West Indies, with nearly two decades of experience in both the public and private sectors in Trinidad and Tobago. At ICANN, he represents the academic, end user, and technical communities, and is also a member of the Internet Society (Trinidad and Tobago Chapter), and the University of the West Indies At-Large Structure. As a global collaborator, Gowandan has established industry partnerships with organizations such as EDUCAUSE, the Linux Foundation, Certiverse, and of course, ICANN. He is a returning fellow for ICANN83; his first fellowship was at ICANN78. With a PhD in governance, Gowandan’s research focused on the intricate connections between information technology governance, organizational politics, and organizational culture. At ICANN he is keenly interested in Internet governance and the unique challenges of managing the Domain Name System that underpins the Internet. "The ICANN Fellowship Program experience is incomparable to any other experiences I've had in my career.” WELCOME NEXTGEN@ICANN Barnabas Muuo Peter Poland [Barnabas Muuo Peter] Originally from Kenya, Barnabas Muuo Peter studies computer science at Warsaw University of Technology with a special interest in artificial intelligence, digital policy, and Internet governance. His passion for equitable digital transformation and interdisciplinary collaboration drew him to ICANN, where he hopes to help shape inclusive policies that ensure the Internet remains a global public resource, especially in underrepresented regions. Peter was previously involved with the Internet Society and the G20 youth consultation on digital equity. He completed several ICANN Learn courses on policy development and looks forward to the ICANN83 Public Meeting, Peter’s first ICANN event. “Let’s create policies that reflect the diversity of global Internet users.” ICANN COMMUNITY SPOTLIGHT Jorge Cancio Participant, Governmental Advisory Committee (GAC) [Jorge Cancio] "We may say that Switzerland’s political system is multistakeholder by design, as our citizenship normally has the final say on all political decisions, be they local, regional, or federal. Hence, engaging with all actors and stakeholders is a feature of our system. We strive to implement this in digital governance matters, inter alia, through the Swiss IGF as well as in the Plateforme Tripartite, our national information hub and multistakeholder platform for exchanging information on topics related to Internet and digital governance and artificial intelligence AI." Ashwin Sasongko Participant, Governmental Advisory Committee (GAC) [Ashwin Sasongko] "Because many countries use ICANN internet services, and also follow the WSIS targets related to Internet access, then it is important for the government to engage with ICANN policy development. In addition, the Internet is used and also operated locally by various people, communities, companies, central and local governments etc, then it is important for the government to take care of those various stakeholders interests."
