This effort is critical to ensuring that the multistakeholder model is able to evolve and meet the ever-changing needs of ICANN's global community. The Implementation Operations team is offering an up to 30 min interactive update on this project, more specifically on the evaluation methodology, which is used to assess the current projects/initiatives that are supporting the MSM. If you like this update to be part of your constituency/committee ICANN75 agenda, please email giovanni.seppia@icann.org<mailto:giovanni.seppia@icann.org> and/or negar.farzinnia@icann.org<mailto:negar.farzinnia@icann.org>. We look forward to working together on enhancing ICANN’s MSM.

Information Sharing NEW: Observing DNSSEC Key Lifecycles The way in which an operator of a DNS zone, whether a top-level domain name (TLD) or not, manages the cryptographic keys used in Domain Name System Security Extensions (DNSSEC) can reveal much about the nature of the operations and the process of technology deployment. Visualizing the management of DNSSEC keys based on published records has recently been accomplished, this report covers the basics and discusses, without naming specific operators, some specific TLD use cases.
