Fwd: ICANN News Alert -- ICANN70 Will Be Held as Virtual Community Forum
by Abdeldjalil Bachar Bong Jan. 14, 2021

Jan. 14, 2021

Hello All FYI ------------ ---------- Forwarded message --------- De : ICANN <no-reply(a)external.icann.org> Date: ven. 15 janv. 2021 à 00:16 Subject: ICANN News Alert -- ICANN70 Will Be Held as Virtual Community Forum To: <abdeldjalil.bachar(a)gmail.com> [image: ICANN Announcement Alerts] *ICANN70 Will Be Held as Virtual Community Forum <https://newsalerts.icann.org/u6N000mR0P0d0h02ju2CE20>* 14 January 2021 LOS ANGELES – 14 January 2021 – The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) today announced that the ICANN Board of Directors has made the decision <https://newsalerts.icann.org/DC7000i0ERm00j02PN2u0d2> to convene ICANN70 as a Virtual Public Meeting due to the continuing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. This meeting was initially planned to be held in Cancún, Mexico. In consultation with community leaders, the ICANN70 Virtual Community Forum dates have been modified and the meeting is now scheduled to be held *22-25 March 2021*. The health and safety of the ICANN community is always a top priority, and as such, holding ICANN70 as an in-person meeting would not be feasible on its scheduled date. Along with its resolution, the Board details its rationale. A number of challenges to in-person meetings still remain, including uncertainties around the ability and willingness of participants to travel, whether physical distancing requirements are possible to implement, the impact of a potential case among participants, and the progress of the second wave of the virus across the world. The Board fully appreciates the importance of face-to-face interaction and looks forward to a return to in-person ICANN Public Meetings as soon as is practical. The Board has directed ICANN org to work in coordination with the ICANN community to meet the expected outcomes of an ICANN Community Forum and support the community's ongoing priorities, policy advice, and development work in a virtual format. ICANN70 will be the fourth ICANN Virtual Public Meeting since the pandemic began. ICANN org began a community engagement process in September 2020 to consider lessons learned from previous virtual meetings and how those learnings can impact future ICANN Public Meetings. ICANN org will implement several community suggestions to enhance the virtual experience for ICANN70. ICANN thanks our regional partners in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) as well as the local host committee in Mexico that worked tirelessly to prepare for this meeting in Cancún. We appreciate their understanding and we look forward to returning to the LAC region in the coming years. Those interested in attending ICANN70 must register <https://newsalerts.icann.org/TjNCj0u02000mR820P02dE0> to participate.

Fwd: ICANN News Alert -- Changes Coming to Registry Reports on the ICANN Open Data Platform
by Maureen Hilyard Jan. 14, 2021

Jan. 14, 2021

[image: ICANN Announcement Alerts] *Changes Coming to Registry Reports on the ICANN Open Data Platform <https://newsalerts.icann.org/dd0Pg22Ni20E800R0K020C0>* 13 January 2021 LOS ANGELES – 7 January 2021 – Today, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) announced that beginning on 15 March 2021, ICANN's Open Data platform <https://newsalerts.icann.org/F28RP003L0C0g2i2000EdN0> will become the permanent home of Registry Reports <https://newsalerts.icann.org/JR2PC2042E0NMi80dg00000>. With this change, these reports will no longer be available on https://icann.org <https://newsalerts.icann.org/y2iC82gN0d0PER500N00020> as of 15 March 2021. ICANN org is providing this update to inform the community of these upcoming changes. Which Registry Reports Are Available on ICANN's Open Data Platform? - Registry Functions Activity Reports - Per-Registrar Transactions Reports What's Changing? Both the Registry Functions Activity Reports and Per-Registrar Transactions Reports will only be available on ICANN's Open Data platform <https://newsalerts.icann.org/F28RP003L0C0g2i2000EdN0>. As noted above, these reports will no longer be available on https://icann.org <https://newsalerts.icann.org/y2iC82gN0d0PER500N00020> as of *15 March 2021*. If you have links bookmarked to these reports or pages, you will be redirected to the Open Data platform <https://newsalerts.icann.org/F28RP003L0C0g2i2000EdN0>. *If you have an automated script* that downloads registry reports from https://icann.org <https://newsalerts.icann.org/y2iC82gN0d0PER500N00020>, *you will need to modify your script* to use the ICANN Open Data API to download the reports. Before you can access the Open Data platform, you must create an ICANN Account <https://newsalerts.icann.org/F28RP006O0C0g2i2000EdN0>. Once you have an account, you will be able to use the Open Data platform API. Why Are We Making This Change? A goal of the Open Data platform is to increase the transparency and accessibility of data managed by ICANN org. The platform's creation is the result of collaborative work between the community and the org. ICANN org launched <https://newsalerts.icann.org/m000NP20002d2Pg8Ri70CE0> the Open Data platform in March 2020 with a series of datasets. Registered users can search, browse, view, download, and analyze the data, according to the platform's terms and conditions and the license(s) applied to each dataset. Registration also allows users to save customized analysis, receive notifications when selected datasets are updated, generate API keys, and view API quota usage. Background on Registry Reports Registry operators provide a set of monthly reports per generic top-level domain name (gTLD) to ICANN org. The monthly reports include the *Per-Registrar Transactions Report* and *Registry Functions Activity Report*. ICANN org publishes these reports, on a monthly basis, three months after the end of the month to which the reports provided by the registry operators relate. This is done to preserve the confidentiality of the reported information during that period as required by the registry agreement.

Fwd: ICANN News Alert -- ICANN and APTLD Join Efforts to Promote Universal Acceptance in the APAC Region
by Maureen Hilyard Jan. 8, 2021

[image: ICANN Announcement Alerts] *ICANN and APTLD Join Efforts to Promote Universal Acceptance in the APAC Region <https://newsalerts.icann.org/Y0d0f0ANg0028002PRC0VE2>* 08 January 2021 LOS ANGELES – 6 January 2021 – The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN), in partnership with the Asia Pacific Top Level Domain Association <https://newsalerts.icann.org/Af0B00CR20Nd2g200P0W08E> (APTLD), today announced the creation of a collaborative Universal Acceptance (UA) training program for members of the Asia Pacific (APAC) community. The APAC Regional Universal Acceptance Training Program will provide a series of trainings on the technical aspects of UA and also serve as a forum to discuss how to effectively address UA issues in the region. Universal Acceptance <https://newsalerts.icann.org/hPg2X0R00C0002dfN020EC8> is key to achieving a digitally inclusive Internet by ensuring that all domain names and email addresses – regardless of script, language or character length – are accepted equally by all Internet-enabled applications, devices, and systems. This includes supporting all country code top-level domains (ccTLDs), new and long generic top-level domains (gTLDs), and Internationalized Domain Names (IDNs). The program is a joint effort between ICANN and APTLD designed to raise awareness of UA challenges in the APAC region, help build capacity to address those challenges, and assist ccTLDs and other stakeholders in developing and implementing robust IDN and UA-related systems and policies. The APTLD is the regional association for ccTLDs in the APAC region, which is home to over 3,200 languages written in a variety of scripts resulting in the greatest number of potential IDNs. APTLD membership currently includes 50 ccTLDs <https://newsalerts.icann.org/iDfC0NR2gYP00d000822E00> from the APAC region, and an additional 19 associate members made up of leading registries and registrars. "In pursuit of its mission, APTLD always welcomes a collaborative approach as the most efficient tool to tackle industry challenges in the largest and most populated region on the planet," said Leonid Todorov, General Manager of APTLD. "For decades, ICANN and APTLD have partnered on a number of occasions and the time has now come to tackle the global challenge of UA and IDNs in a consistent and coherent way on equal footing." "Building relationships and programs with forward-thinking organizations like the APTLD will strengthen our efforts to reach a more diverse Internet user base and help foster consumer choice and innovation through UA and the implementation of IDNs," said Sarmad Hussain, ICANN Sr. Director of IDN and UA Programs. "We look forward to working with the APAC community and launching similar efforts with other organizations committed to helping make UA a reality globally." The new joint training program will consist of monthly webinars starting in January 2021. The online sessions, delivered by leading industry experts and practitioners, will address various UA and IDN-related topics each targeted at relevant regional audiences including policymakers, technical administrators, ccTLD managers, registrars and their resellers, and local regulators and businesses. To view the training schedule and register for a session, click here <https://newsalerts.icann.org/DCZ000E0ER800f02PN2g0d2>. APAC UA Training Program Schedule Dates and times are tentative and subject to change. *Date (tentative)* *Session* *Audience* *Description* 20 January 2021 Configuring for Email Address Internationalization (EAI) Technical (systems) A detailed training on how to configure email systems to support EAI. 7 April 2021 Programming for supporting Universal Acceptance Technical (programmers) A detailed training on how to design and develop applications and systems to support UA. 5 May 2021 Universal Acceptance: Its Impact and Next Steps ccTLD managers, local regulators, tech, and business A dialogue on how UA issues impact the APAC community, how best to address these issues, and highlight business opportunities by being UA-ready. In addition to building partnerships like the one with APTLD, ICANN continues to support the Universal Acceptance Steering Group (UASG), which was organized by the community to help promote UA efforts around the world. For more information, click here <https://newsalerts.icann.org/lgR2G000P28g0E2d00N000C>.
