This At-Large Briefing Session will feature Matt Larson, Vice President of Research for the CTO office at ICANN, who will give a presentation and answer questions on the upcoming DNSSEC root key-signing key (KSK) rollover being planned by ICANN. The root KSK is the most important cryptographic key in the DNS security extensions, or DNSSEC. DNSSEC protects end users from receiving spoofed data and prevents attacks such as being misdirected to a malicious web site. This cryptographic key will be changed, or rolled over, in late 2017. While the actual change isn't happening until next year, an important aspect of the project is getting the word out to those who need to know about the change and take action, such as network administrators and software developers.

Dear APRALO Community Greetings ! I would like to thank all the ALSes who have responded to this survey. Maureen has tabulated the results so far, and they are indeed interesting. We will be sharing them at the next APRALO meeting scheduled to be held during ICANN57. I would like to remind all the remaining ALSes to kindly provide you inputs as well, so that we get a comprehensive picture of the Asia-Pacific region. It takes just a few minutes, so don't hesitate! Please note that these results would provide APRALO with guidance on policy preferences by our membership, and therefore are important inputs.

Oct. 19, 2016

On behalf of the Board Candidate Evaluation Committee (BCEC), we are seeking Expressions of Interest (EoIs) from Candidates who wish to serve as an ICANN Board Director. The selected Candidate will be chosen by the At-Large Community, and will serve for a 3-year term starting at the end of ICANN60 (2017 Annual General Meeting - AGM). Background Seat number 15 of the ICANN Board of Directors is dedicated to a member selected by the At-Large Community. This seat is currently occupied by Rinalia Abdul Rahim, who assumed the position at the end of ICANN51 (2014 AGM). Her 3-year term will be completed at the closing of ICANN60 (2017 AGM). Pursuant to Section 19 of the At-Large Advisory Committee (ALAC) Rules of Procedure<http://tinyurl.com/ALAC-RoP-2016-09> (version adopted on 20 September 2016), the At-Large Community process for selecting the next Board Director began in September 2016, with the appointment of the Chairs and Members of the BCEC and the Board Member Selection Process Committee (BMSPC). The BCEC is responsible for outlining Candidate requirements and expectations, calling for, identifying, and evaluating applications, and compiling the initial slate of Candidates for the Board Director position. The BMSPC oversees the entire selection process for the At-Large Board Member, including the development of the selection timeline and the election finalizing the process. Both groups have regionally balanced membership and operate in accordance with a strict code of conduct and confidentiality. To learn more information, please visit their workspace<https://community.icann.org/x/Vxi4Aw>. This selection process is planned to be completed by Friday, 21 April 2017, with the announcement of the winner on that date. View the detailed timeline here<https://community.icann.org/x/ORq4Aw>. How to Request an Expression of Interest (EoI) Form Persons who are interested in submitting an Expression of Interest (EoI) should begin the process by reviewing the At-Large Board Member Candidate Requirements - 2017<https://community.icann.org/x/HAu4Aw> and At-Large Board Member Candidate Reference Links & Resources - 2017<https://community.icann.org/x/Jgu4Aw>. In particular, please ensure that you meet the eligibility requirements detailed under “Additional Bylaws Qualifications” on the At-Large Board Member Candidate Requirements - 2017<https://community.icann.org/x/HAu4Aw> page. Persons who are interested and eligible to apply for the position should then email the Program Admin Staff at program-admin(a)atlarge.icann.org<mailto:program-admin@atlarge.icann.org> and briefly indicate your interest. Once your email is received, Program Admin Staff will follow up promptly by sending you an email providing you access to an online Expression of Interest (EoI) Form for you to submit your complete application. Specifically, Candidates are requested to name no less than three (3) and no more than four (4) people who are willing, at short notice, to provide you a written Reference for your candidacy after being directly contacted by the BCEC and the Program Admin Staff. See a blank sample EoI Form<https://community.icann.org/x/QiK4Aw> to review and understand the details. The deadline for completing and submitting an EoI Form to be considered by the BCEC is 23:59 UTC on Friday, 18 November 2016. Any questions regarding the process should also be directed by email to program-admin(a)atlarge.icann.org<mailto:program-admin@atlarge.icann.org>. They will be answered as quickly as possible.

As you may recall, representatives of all ICANN SO/ACs, apart from the ccNSO (which decided not to take part in the DT effort), participated in the DT deliberations (see https://community.icann.org/x/AR_AAw[community.icann.org]<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__community.icann.org_x_…> for DT members). This proposed charter is the result of extensive input and deliberations, including careful review of input that was received as part of the cross-community session at ICANN 56 in Helsinki (see https://community.icann.org/x/fgmbAw)[community.icann.org]<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__community.icann.org_x_…> and we believe it now represents a careful balance between the different viewpoints and perspectives, including from both the DT Members and the ICANN Board liaisons to the DT. As such, the DT would like to request you review the proposed charter with this careful balance in mind and only flag to the DT any pertinent issues that would prevent your respective SO/AC from adopting this charter. We would like to request you highlight such pertinent issues by 30 September 2016 at the latest, including an indication of when you anticipate your respective SO/AC to be in a position to consider the charter for adoption following 30 September, provided that no pertinent issues have been identified by any of the ICANN SO/ACs. Of course, should you have any clarifying questions, please do not hesitate to respond to this message. The DT looks forward to receiving your feedback. Best wishes, Jonathan Robinson, DT Chair & Alan Greenberg, DT Vice-Chair

Announcement on IANA Stewardship Transition
by Rinalia Abdul Rahim Oct. 3, 2016

Oct. 3, 2016

Dear Members of the At-Large Community, *The IANA Stewardship Transition is Complete* Today, on 1 October, the IANA functions contract between ICANN and NTIA expired. The expiration of the contract between ICANN and the United States National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA), to perform the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) functions, will have no impact on end users of the Internet; they will not see any changes or difference in their use of the Internet. This historic moment marks the transition of the coordination and management of the Internet’s unique identifiers to the private-sector, a process that has been committed to and underway since 1998. The ICANN Community, Board and staff as well as the larger Internet community took on this challenge, over two and a half years, and succeeded. Developing the transition proposals was unprecedented, and reflected the multistakeholder community at work. Because of the hard work by everyone, the ICANN organization is now a more accountable and transparent body. There will be some small changes to how ICANN operates, but its underlying goal is the same – to support the Community and ensure the continued stable and secure operation of the DNS. It has been a privilege to be a part of this process where the multistakeholder model of Internet Governance demonstrated its power. I wanted to take a moment to thank and congratulate all of you for your hard work over the past two and a half years to get us to where we are today. Best regards, Rinalia Abdul Rahim ICANN Board Director Links to announcements that have gone out about the IANA Stewardship transition: http://www.ntia.doc.gov/press-release/2016/statement-assista nt-secretary-strickling-iana-functions-contract https://www.icann.org/news/blog/final-implementation-update https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2016-09-30-en https://www.icann.org/news/blog/cheers-to-the-multistakeholder-community
