Dear All, * Session Recap: At-Large Collaboration in the New gTLD Program Outreach and Engagement Plan * Meet the Community - Kathleen Scoggin, United States of America * ICANN Community Spotlight - Avri Doria, Chair, Consolidated Policy Working Group [https://nj88a9rab.cc.rs6.net/on.jsp?ca=a64826fd-af4f-470f-b762-d995fdc78c5c…] [ICANN80 Newsletter Header graphic][nj88a9rab.cc.rs6.net]<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/nj88a9rab.cc.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001LLcAVgE…> ‌ ICANN80 Newsletter 12 June 2024 MEETING SCHEDULE [nj88a9rab.cc.rs6.net]<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/nj88a9rab.cc.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001LLcAVgE…> TOP NEWS Root Zone DNSSEC Algorithm Rollover Study Issues Final Report [DNSSEC graphic][nj88a9rab.cc.rs6.net]<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/nj88a9rab.cc.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001LLcAVgE…> End of May 2024, ICANN announced publication of the Root Zone DNSSEC Algorithm Rollover Study [nj88a9rab.cc.rs6.net]<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/nj88a9rab.cc.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001LLcAVgE…>, offering recommendations for selecting cryptographic algorithms and conducting rollovers. The findings of the study will guide future modifications in signing the root zone. While the ongoing Key Signing Key (KSK) rollover process continues unaffected, future rollovers will integrate the study's recommendations. ICANN aims for a rollover every three years, with the next one scheduled around 2027. This timeline allows for the assessment of the current signing algorithm's suitability and the development of operational plans. Rollovers ensure the DNS's security and stability by exercising key-changing mechanisms. To participate in discussions on KSK changes, subscribe to the ksk-rollover mailing list [nj88a9rab.cc.rs6.net]<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/nj88a9rab.cc.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001LLcAVgE…>.

The community is keenly interested in helping ICANN org champion the Next Round Program, especially the Applicant Support Program. The At-Large community emphasized the importance of raising global awareness about the New gTLD Program: Next Round, lowering barriers to entry through the Applicant Support Program, and finding ways to leverage regional, local, and community relationships to promote the Next Round Program. ICANN org is finalizing a list of target countries for the next phase of the outreach and engagement effort, and hopes to engage the At-Large community in helping to identify gaps in outreach and engagement and work with the org to address them. The At-Large community looks forward to receiving, reviewing, and using the outreach and engagement materials mentioned during the session. The At-Large community will continue to engage with ICANN org to discuss opportunities that may exist within the At-Large networks that can be used to promote the New gTLD Program: Next Round. ICANN80 PHOTO OF THE DAY [Photo from the ceremony recognizing the in-person and virtual Working Group Chairs] Above: Recognizing the in-person and virtual Working Group Chairs NA FOCUS Advancing Digital Inclusion: ICANN Community in North America Takes Bold Steps [ICANN80 Digital Inclusion graphic][nj88a9rab.cc.rs6.net]<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/nj88a9rab.cc.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001LLcAVgE…> By Naela Sarras, VP Stakeholder Engagement, North America Inuktitut (ᐃᓄᒃᑎᑐᑦ) is an Inuit language that uses the Unified Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics (UCAS [nj88a9rab.cc.rs6.net]<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/nj88a9rab.cc.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001LLcAVgE…>) script. The script is predominantly used in northern Canada, specifically in parts of Newfoundland and Labrador, Quebec, the Northwest Territories, and Nunavut. In February 2024, the Inuktitut language community in Canada, led by PointQuebec, formed a panel to develop a reference LGR [nj88a9rab.cc.rs6.net]<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/nj88a9rab.cc.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001LLcAVgE…> (Label Generation Rules) for the Inuktitut language. A reference LGR provides the rules for registering domain names in the relevant language or script. Thus, having a reference LGR for the Inuktitut language promotes digital inclusion by enabling the Inuit language community to register domain names in their own language. The panel comprises registry operators, registrars, registry service providers, language processing experts, and linguists from local communities, institutes, and universities. More detailed information is available on the community wiki page [nj88a9rab.cc.rs6.net]<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/nj88a9rab.cc.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001LLcAVgE…>. The panel is finalizing the draft proposal for the Inuktitut language reference LGR; ICANN will subsequently seek feedback from the broader community via Public Comment. The panel plans to continue its work on other languages that are used in Canada, such as Cree, Ojibway, and Dene.
