I would especially like to thank everyone for fostering an overwhelmingly positive and collegial environment, in which we were able to make real progress toward our shared goals. The ICANN community, Board, and organization advanced the discussion of and policymaking around the most pressing issues that ICANN is facing, including Domain Name System (DNS) abuse, the future of technical Internet governance, and the next round of new gTLD applications.

As UA adoption has grown, it has become increasingly important to focus on measuring UA progress and challenges to identify where resources and support are needed most. That is why ICANN recently conducted two surveys to assess the UA-readiness of key stakeholder groups and published reports of the results. The first report, “UA Readiness Survey Report – Contracted Parties and Registry Service Providers [r20.rs6.net]<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001X1mmtZxQSCuDDzb7…>,” examines the UA-readiness of registry operators, registrars, and registry service providers. The second report, “UA Readiness Survey Report – ccTLDs [r20.rs6.net]<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001X1mmtZxQSCuDDzb7…>,” covers country code top-level domain (ccTLD) managers.

DNSSEC ensures that the information received from the DNS about a domain name is authentic and helps make the Internet safer for its billions of users. IANA plans to generate the new key during the 49th KSK Ceremony on 27 April. The key will be replicated to an alternate facility in the third quarter of 2023. IANA plans to prepublish the key in the DNS, starting in January 2024. It will be held in standby for about two years, during which ICANN will conduct an extensive outreach campaign to ensure a seamless transition to the new key for the global Internet community.

We are looking for participation from community members in the trend identification sessions through their Supporting Organization (SO) or Advisory Committee (AC). ICANN will collaborate with SO and AC chairs and support teams to schedule sessions from March through May 2023. This program is a joint effort of the ICANN ecosystem to identify and track trends that are related to ICANN. This ensures that the opportunities and challenges are incorporated into current and future planning. Once trends are identified, ICANN will conduct a trend analysis and impact assessment. Significant shifts could result in adjustments to the strategic plan. Moreover, new trends or shifts in existing trends also impact the operating plans (five-year or annual) and/or budget, and are factored into the annual iteration of those plans as appropriate. All strategic outlook sessions will be conducted virtually, and community members are encouraged to join this important discussion. We look forward to your participation in this dialogue about ICANN planning and strategy. Thank you for your support in the ICANN planning process.

ACTION ITEM: Planning Prioritization Update The prioritization process is a step in the annual ICANN planning process, which will permit ICANN to receive input for the development of the FY25 Draft Plans. The Planning Prioritization Group comprises members of the ICANN stakeholder groups. ICANN is seeking from the chairs of the below stakeholder groups to nominate one member and one secondary-member by 7 April 2023: ASO | ALAC | GNSO/CSG | GNSO/CPH | GNSO/NCSG | ccNSO | GAC | RSSAC | SSAC The scope of activities to be prioritized are the Board-approved implementation work, such as PDP recommendations, Specific Review recommendations and the implementation of other non-policy and advice work. Please email the name of the members that you have nominated to planning(a)icann.org<mailto:planning@icann.org>, with a copy to the Policy Strategic Management team (policy-strat-mgt(a)icann.org<mailto:policy-strat-mgt@icann.org>). Moreover, ICANN has published the Planning Prioritization Framework (Version 3) on the ICANN Finance and Planning Community wiki workspace here (Planning Prioritization [r20.rs6.net]<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=0010QiWiIcASRvau9cm…> Framework V3 [r20.rs6.net]<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=0010QiWiIcASRvau9cm…>). The key elements of the framework have not changed; however, based on feedback received from a lessons learned session with the members of the FY24 planning prioritization process, ICANN has incorporated several recommendations into version 3. For additional information on the planning prioritization framework please visit this link [r20.rs6.net]<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=0010QiWiIcASRvau9cm…> for presentations and webinar recordings or email planning(a)icann.org<mailto:planning@icann.org>.
