Over 250 people had applied to attend the MEAC-SIG. MEAC-SIG Brings Together Participants From Around the World The third edition of the Middle East and Adjoining Countries School on Internet Governance (MEAC-SIG) took place from 8-12 August 2016. Since its inception, the event has grown to become a rich and visible platform for the next generation of stakeholders from the region to engage in debates on Internet governance at the national, regional and global levels. Past participants have gone on to become ICANN Fellows. The five-day agenda included hot topics such as ICANN and the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) Stewardship transition, regional Internet registries, systems of unique identifiers, Internet governance for development, the Internet of Things, Internet fragmentation, the digital Economy, and the Internet and accessibility. The participants engaged in five days of extensive knowledge sharing and debates on Internet governance.

[https://imgssl.constantcontact.com/letters/images/1101116784221/ICANN_SG20_…] ICANN Announces Incorporation of PTI On 12 August 2016, ICANN announced that the incorporation documents for the "Post-Transition IANA" organization were filed and received by the California Secretary of State under the name Public Technical Identifiers (which will now be referred to as PTI). With this filing and receipt, PTI is now formed as a nonprofit public benefit corporation and controlled affiliate of ICANN. The PTI incorporation documents were drafted to reflect the recommendations of the IANA Stewardship Transition Coordination Group (ICG) proposal, as provided to the ICANN Board and transmitted to NTIA on 10 March 2016. PTI was formed to perform the naming-related IANA functions under contract with ICANN. However, for purposes of coherence of the IANA functions and overall operational logistics, the ICG proposal also requires that the performance of the IANA numbering and protocol parameter functions be subcontracted to PTI. Although PTI now exists as a legal entity, it is not yet performing any work. PTI will not perform any services under the IANA functions contract with NTIA. PTI will only start performing the IANA functions upon the successful completion of the transition.

The purpose of these reviews is to provide feedback to the ICANN Board as it considers issues referenced in the GAC Communiqué which the GNSO identifies as relevant to generic top-level domains. Read the GNSO review<http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001IFH4qxUt-TLHV51FZggQ9ZynznS2TarkhTdqEVpzFxld…> of the GAC Helsinki Communiqué. GAC Prepares for ICANN57 The leadership of the GAC has been actively working to create an agenda for ICANN57. The GAC plans to hold dedicated sessions to meet with the Generic Names Supporting Organization, the At-Large Advisory Committee, the Country Code Names Supporting Organization and the ICANN Board. It will also hold focused discussions on priority topics, including New Generic Top-Level Domains Subsequent Procedures, Work Stream 2 of the Cross-Community Working Group on Enhancing ICANN Accountability and various internal matters. Each GAC working group will each have a one-hour session to advance its work and update the GAC. Also, at the invitation of India, the host country, the GAC will engage in local outreach and capacity-building activities on the first and last days of ICANN57. ccNSO Members to Elect Councilors and Nominate Candidate for ICANN Board Seat 11 From September to December 2016, Country Code Names Supporting Organization (ccNSO) members will elect one Councilor from each respective ICANN region. In the event that two or more candidates from the same region are nominated and accept their nomination, an election will be conducted among the members from that region. In addition, there will be a special election in the African region to fill a vacancy on the ccNSO Council. Moreover, ccNSO members will also nominate - and if two or more candidates are nominated, elect - a candidate for ICANN Board Seat 11. The term begins at the Annual General Meeting in 2017. Only ccNSO members, via their primary contacts, are eligible to vote. Framework of Interpretation Implementation Advisory The Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) received a request not to contact the administrative and technical contacts listed in the IANA database with issues of delegation or revocation or retirement of a country code top-level domain (ccTLD). Instead, these more serious changes to the IANA database warrant a separate procedure and contact person. ICANN staff members working on the implementation of the Framework of Interpretation (FOI) have raised some questions on how to implement this request. Based on conversations and input received, the FOI Implementation Advisory Team, consisting of Becky Burr and Keith Davidson, recently advised IANA staff as follows: * There has been no consistency in the feedback received from the very small pool of ccNSO Councilors. Opening up the consultation to seek more, additional opinions will be no avail. * IANA should introduce a field to record the instruction from the ccTLD with respect to the approval contact in case of more serious changes to the IANA database. Each ccTLD manager should be asked to give individual instructions.

The first part of the training focused on marketing. I was introduced to .eu promotion programs, co-funded marketing programs, testimonials, the registrars' platform, effective marketing strategies, and means of encouraging new registrars' accreditation (which included webinars and video conferences). In addition, I received training on different social media marketing tools. During the hands-on session, I wrote a paper that highlighted the impact of websites and social media on businesses. This part of the training was particularly important to the DNS-EC, as it will help us create an effective marketing strategy. The second part of the training focused on business continuity. I was introduced to different business continuity standards, disaster recovery and the capability maturity model. As part of the training, I created a risk and business impact analysis for the DNS-EC, which included defining mitigating actions. Both the training and the exercise contributed to the achievement of one of the center's strategic objectives: "Ensure that DNS-EC is well established and is operationally sustainable in the long term." Background: EURid, the registry manager of the .eu and .ею (Cyrillic script) country code top-level (ccTLD) domains, opened the .eu Academy in early 2015. The main objective of the academy is to educate industry peers, registrars and future stakeholders about the Internet. Hadia El Miniawi attended the .eu Academy in Pisa, Italy, in August 2016.

Based on that review, barring any significant impediment, NTIA intends to allow the IANA functions contract to expire as of October 1." The letter was sent as a result of NTIA's review of ICANN's IANA Stewardship Transition Proposal Implementation Planning Status Report<http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=00134CFbjvNGG3aXYwSUapL9mg21ACGMfHdlFmK6lqb8gAC…>, which was submitted<http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=00134CFbjvNGG3aXYwSUapL9mg21ACGMfHdlFmK6lqb8gAC…> to the administration on 12 August. In that report, ICANN informed NTIA that it has completed or will complete all the necessary tasks in advance of 30 September 2016 to allow the IANA functions contract to expire.

The event served as a stage for learning, knowledge sharing and discussion of relevant Internet issues. Internet Week Dominican Republic<http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=00134CFbjvNGG3aXYwSUapL9mg21ACGMfHdlFmK6lqb8gAC…> was an important event for the local Internet community. It gathered together in the Dominican Republic, for the first time, organizations like ICANN, the Latin American and Caribbean ccTLD Association (LACTLD), the Latin American and Caribbean Internet Addresses Registry (LACNIC), ICANN and the Dominican Republic Chapter of the Internet Society (ISOC RD). We were also delighted about the special participation of ICANN´s CEO and President Göran Marby. The event held parallel sessions for more than 300 people, 85 percent of whom came from the local community. Representatives from government, academia, the technical community and civil society participated in the event. The week has concluded, and we are grateful for the support we received from the Internet ecosystem organizations that were accompanying us. They helped us to put the Dominican Republic on the map of the countries that are contributing to the development of the Internet.

With this filing and receipt, PTI is now formed as a nonprofit public benefit corporation and controlled affiliate of ICANN. The PTI incorporation documents were drafted to reflect the recommendations of the IANA Stewardship Transition Coordination Group (ICG) proposal, as provided to the ICANN Board and transmitted to NTIA on 10 March 2016. PTI was formed to perform the naming-related IANA functions under contract with ICANN. However, for purposes of coherence of the IANA functions and overall operational logistics, the ICG proposal also requires that the performance of the IANA numbering and protocol parameter functions be subcontracted to PTI. Although PTI now exists as a legal entity, it is not yet performing any work. PTI will not perform any services under the IANA functions contract with NTIA. PTI will only start performing the IANA functions upon the successful completion of the transition.

The week offered different workshops that addressed topics from Internet security to Internet governance. The week of events also celebrated of the 25th anniversary of the .do domain, organized by the Pontificia Universidad Católica Madre y Maestra, through NIC.DO. On 23 August, the central interview of the most-watched morning news show in the country featured our regional VP, Rodrigo de la Parra. For 15 minutes Rodrigo talked about the Latin American and Caribbean Domain Name System Forum (LAC DNS Forum) and the new generic top-level domains (gTLD) program. Watch the interview in Spanish (part 1<http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=00134CFbjvNGG3aXYwSUapL9mg21ACGMfHdlFmK6lqb8gAC…> | part 2<http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=00134CFbjvNGG3aXYwSUapL9mg21ACGMfHdlFmK6lqb8gAC…>). On 24-25 August, ICANN (organization and community) hosted the III LAC DNS FORUM. The initiative brought together industry, Internet policy and technical professionals who are interested in issues pertaining to the domain name industry and the business opportunities it can provide. Many media outlets were present at the event. The event closed with a keynote speech from ICANN's CEO and President Göran Marby. Another highpoint of the week was the signing a Memorandum of Understanding between ICANN and LACTLD<http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=00134CFbjvNGG3aXYwSUapL9mg21ACGMfHdlFmK6lqb8gAC…>. CANTO Holds Its 32nd Annual Meeting in Puerto Rico ICANN sponsored and participated in the recently concluded Caribbean Association of National Telecommunications Organizations (CANTO) 32nd Annual Conference and Trade Exhibition in San Juan, Puerto Rico, from 31 July - 3 August 2016. CANTO is recognized as the leading trade association of the information and communications technology (ICT) sector. Founded in 1985 as a non-profit association of 8 telephone operating companies, CANTO has now grown to over 120 members in more than 31 countries. CANTO shapes ICT throughout the Caribbean region. Julian Wilkins, Chairman of CANTO, gave the audience a preview of the high-powered conference attendees. "I am happy to announce that we have 12 ICT ministers in attendance, over 40 regulators from 16 countries, and 33 network operators with more than 100 senior executives. Indeed, this is a historic moment with two of the most powerful men in communications in this region speaking at this event: Denis O'Brien, Chairman of Digicel Group, and John Reid, Interim Chief Executive Officer, Cable & Wireless Communications." Over the years, regional ministers have become increasingly aware of technical topics. Minister Alvin Dabreo, of Grenada, stated that all Caribbean networks should be made compatible with Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6). Minister Vincent Byron, of St. Kitts and Nevis, said that that each Caribbean territory should have a local root server. Albert Daniels, Senior Stakeholder Engagement Manager for the Caribbean at ICANN, was an active participant at the meeting. He sat on a panel - with the American Registry for Internet Numbers (ARIN), LACNIC and ISOC - examining how to coordinate the ICT agenda in the Caribbean. While on this panel, Daniels took questions from the floor, including one from the Puerto Rico regulator, who inquired about the status of the Internet Assigned Numbers (IANA) stewardship transition.

In January 2016, ICANN commissioned a study about the DNS marketplace in Latin America and the Caribbean region. The study investigates the current state of Internet and domain name industry, explores best practices for the uptake of domain names and analyzes the ecosystem. It also recommends new business potentials based on global benchmarks and proposes a way forward for the LAC region. We are proud to have partnered with Oxford Information Labs and LACTLD to develop this project, which was presented during the III LAC DNS Forum in Santo Domingo. As announced there, we will release a detailed report for public comments in September.

The GAC plans to hold dedicated sessions to meet with the Generic Names Supporting Organization, the At-Large Advisory Committee, the Country Code Names Supporting Organization and the ICANN Board. It will also hold focused discussions on priority topics, including New Generic Top-Level Domains Subsequent Procedures, Work Stream 2 of the Cross-Community Working Group on Enhancing ICANN Accountability and various internal matters. Each GAC working group will each have a one-hour session to advance its work and update the GAC. Also, at the invitation of India, the host country, the GAC will engage in local outreach and capacity-building activities on the first and last days of ICANN57. ccNSO Members to Elect Councilors and Nominate Candidate for ICANN Board Seat 11 From September to December 2016, Country Code Names Supporting Organization (ccNSO) members will elect one Councilor from each respective ICANN region. In the event that two or more candidates from the same region are nominated and accept their nomination, an election will be conducted among the members from that region. In addition, there will be a special election in the African region to fill a vacancy on the ccNSO Council. Moreover, ccNSO members will also nominate - and if two or more candidates are nominated, elect - a candidate for ICANN Board Seat 11. The term begins at the Annual General Meeting in 2017. Only ccNSO members, via their primary contacts, are eligible to vote. Framework of Interpretation Implementation Advisory The Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) received a request not to contact the administrative and technical contacts listed in the IANA database with issues of delegation or revocation or retirement of a country code top-level domain (ccTLD). Instead, these more serious changes to the IANA database warrant a separate procedure and contact person. ICANN staff members working on the implementation of the Framework of Interpretation (FOI) have raised some questions on how to implement this request. Based on conversations and input received, the FOI Implementation Advisory Team, consisting of Becky Burr and Keith Davidson, recently advised IANA staff as follows: * There has been no consistency in the feedback received from the very small pool of ccNSO Councilors. Opening up the consultation to seek more, additional opinions will be no avail. * IANA should introduce a field to record the instruction from the ccTLD with respect to the approval contact in case of more serious changes to the IANA database. Each ccTLD manager should be asked to give individual instructions.
