SESSION HIGHLIGHTS RSS Governance Working Group The ICANN Board convened the Root Server System (RSS) Governance Working Group (GWG) [r20.rs6.net]<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001NJpmnISyktrbm0D5…> to develop a final model of RSS governance and root server operator accountability based on RSSAC037. To inform the development of the final model, the Root Server System Advisory Committee published success criteria for RSS governance. Since then, the GWG has dedicated its work sessions to reviewing the success criteria. The GWG will have four work sessions today focused on: applying the success criteria, reviewing the affiliate organization model, reviewing the Supporting Organization model, and determining its next steps.

If you missed it, visit the schedule [r20.rs6.net]<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001NJpmnISyktrbm0D5…> for the session materials and recordings. Agenda The fourth ccNSO policy development process (ccPDP4) continued its development of policy recommendations for the (de-)selection of Internationalized Domain Name (IDN) country code top-level domains (ccTLDs) associated with countries, territories, or other areas of geopolitical interest listed in the International Organization for Standardization 3166-1 standard. During this session, the working group evaluated input received during the ICANN74 ccNSO Policy Update session and began to stress test draft policy recommendations, which include: · Root Zone Label Generation Rules shall be used for the validation and selection of strings as variants. · Similar to the selected IDN ccTLD string, its variants should be limited to meaningful representations of the name of the territory in the designated language and related script. Highlights The ccPDP4 Working Group completed its review and discussion of the 2013 policy proposals for the IDN ccTLD string selection process and formed three subgroups: · Variant Management: The variant management subgroup works in close coordination with the Generic Names Supporting Organization (GNSO) Expedited Policy Development Process (EPDP) on IDNs. The variant management subgroup continues its review of the IDN TLD recommendations. · (De-)Selection of IDN ccTLDs: The (de-)selection of IDN ccTLDs subgroup is tasked with defining the trigger event(s) that will start the retirement process for an IDN ccTLD and its variants. The proposal complements the ccNSO-recommended policy on the retirement of ccTLDs. · Confusing Similarity Review: The confusing similarity review subgroup was convened in March 2022 and is running in parallel with GNSO EPDP IDNs efforts in this area. Next Steps There are areas of potential overlap between the work by the Variant Management subgroup and the ccPDP4 Working Group that need to be clarified. The outcome of ccPDP4 will eventually replace the current IDN ccTLD Fast Track Process. Photo of the Day: The ICANN74 NextGen@ICANN participants pose outside World Forum The Hague.

ASIA PACIFIC (APAC) FOCUS ICANN CEO Engages With the Pacific Islands Community at PITA 2022 ICANN President and CEO Göran Marby gave a virtual keynote address at the Pacific Islands Telecommunications Association [r20.rs6.net]<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001NJpmnISyktrbm0D5…> (PITA) annual gathering, PITA 2022, which took place 24–26 May in Fiji. PITA members represent a broad spectrum of interests from across the Pacific region, from Internet and telecom service providers, to ccTLD registries and regulators, to government ministries. In his remarks, Marby noted that service providers are in a unique position to guide the Internet end users in their countries. Marby pointed out that ICANN is working to localize the Internet and continues to engage with the Pacific region by delegating 29 ccTLDs and providing root server instances in 13 countries in the region. He also emphasized the need to continue building close working relationships with all parties involved to ensure the Internet is secure, stable, and interoperable in the future.
