Dear All, Thank you for the support everyone has shown in the election process as well in my involvement in APRALO activities. I take this as an opportunity to learn and gain more experience within the ICANNs and APRALO' s remit. I am really grateful to APRALO' s leadership team and chair Amrita for constant encouragement and support. I am even more motivated to work, contribute and indulge more, as well as wish to work with the leadership team to encourage more youth members in APRALO. Again really indebted for all your support. Safe travels to everyone travelling to Kigali. See you in Kigali.

As we gather from around the world from 10–13 June, this landmark event offers an extraordinary opportunity to shape the future of the Internet together. Kigali, known for its beautiful landscapes and dynamic growth in technology, is the perfect backdrop for discussions on Internet governance and digital innovation. The Government of Rwanda will also be hosting the 5th High-Level Government Meeting on Sunday, 9 June. These gatherings underscore the vital role governments play in advising the ICANN Board on public policy issues that are crucial for the secure and stable operation of the Domain Name System (DNS). We are thrilled to gather a diverse group of global stakeholders in Rwanda, fostering dialogue that bridges continents and cultures. Prepare for a Policy Forum filled with insightful discussions, collaborative workshops, and meaningful networking. We look forward to your important contributions to a more connected and inclusive digital future. ICANN NEWS NCAP Recommendations for the Next Round [ICANN SSAC logo][nj88a9rab.cc.rs6.net]<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/nj88a9rab.cc.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001HvUAIHi…> In its mission to safeguard the Domain Name System (DNS) and its users, as well as protect and secure a single, open, and globally interoperable Internet, ICANN continues to address name collisions and their associated risks. Name collisions occur when a domain used in the global DNS namespace is also used in a different namespace (e.g., private enterprise), where users, software, or other functions may misinterpret it. Imagine encountering the same name used for different purposes – that's a name collision in the DNS. The Name Collision Analysis Project (NCAP) Discussion Group embarked on a series of studies and research projects centered on the critical issues surrounding name collisions. The NCAP Discussion Group presents its research, findings, and guidance for addressing name collisions in the NCAP Study 2 report. The Security and Stability Advisory Committee (SSAC) subsequently endorsed the NCAP Discussion Group’s findings and urged the ICANN Board to adopt the recommendations within the report.

by Amrita Choudhury May 29, 2024

May 29, 2024

Dear APRALO ALS and UIMs, Sharing information on the CROP Funding available for FY25, so that you are aware. The first step would be for you to start planning your outreach and engagement activities for FY25 and we will list it like earlier in the APRALO O&E plan.The new format will be shared soon. ItWe will share more information and guidelines on the same soon. Regards, Amrita ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Ozan Sahin <ozan.sahin(a)icann.org> Date: Wed, 29 May 2024 at 18:29 Subject: FY25 Community Regional Outreach Program (CROP) Launches To: crop-staff(a)icann.org <crop-staff(a)icann.org> Cc: Pierre Dandjinou <pierre.dandjinou(a)icann.org>, Jia Rong Low < jiarong.low(a)icann.org>, Save Vocea <save.vocea(a)icann.org>, Chris Mondini < chris.mondini(a)icann.org>, Mikhail Anisimov <mikhail.anisimov(a)icann.org>, Rodrigo De La Parra <rodrigo.delaparra(a)icann.org>, Baher Esmat < baher.esmat(a)icann.org>, Naela Sarras <naela.sarras(a)icann.org> Dear community leaders, I am pleased to announce that the Fiscal Year 2025 (FY25) Community Regional Outreach Program (CROP) space is now ready for your use. The CROP team invites all community leaders and groups to collaboratively work with our regional Global Stakeholder Engagement (GSE) colleagues to develop Outreach Strategic Plans for FY25. The following aspects of CROP will continue to apply for FY25: - *Applicable geographic regions and countries within regions* – ICANN organization believes that it will allow for greater clarity as well as community flexibility in many cases to use the GSE list of countries and regions <https://drive.google.com/file/d/14seX2l_Gq5rE97gbr38i1EuUbKRZ5GHl/view?usp=…>, rather than the less detailed listing of official ICANN Public Meeting regions. - Reimbursement for * conference registration fees* – while the general rule remains that conference registration fees are not part of CROP funding, for FY25, the ICANN organization has created *a limited exception* for cases where senior staff approval has been sought, obtained, and documented. - Using *1 out of 3 trip allocations to an ICANN Public Meeting or ICANN-organized event* – for FY25, any 1 out of the 3 trip allocations can be used to an ICANN Public Meeting or an ICANN-organized event (if one is taking place in the applicable region). The ICANN organization hopes this will provide the ICANN community with greater flexibility in planning their FY25 strategic outreach activities. - *7-week deadline* for trip requests – Trip proposals are due to the CROP administrator seven weeks before the start date of the proposed trip. Concurrence from the relevant l GSE regional vice president is due at least six weeks before the start date of the proposed trip. - *CROP staff lead* administrators – for FY25, the staff leads for this program will be Nathalie Peregrine for GNSO constituencies and Ozan Sahin for At-Large RALOs. We will be responsible for ensuring compliance with the applicable deadlines, following up on trip proposals and assessment reports, and to generally assist you with the program. However, please continue to send your queries and reports to the usual email address ( crop-staff(a)icann.org) On behalf of the CROP support team, regional GSE colleagues, and the Travel Support team, I hope that your groups will find the FY25 CROP helpful in conducting your regional strategic outreach activities. The FY25 CROP space can be found here <https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Guq_QTzRajIHn2SPDqa0rJp6w8ybNRVqGh5nt6R…>. We strongly encourage you to confirm your CROP Program Coordinators <https://docs.google.com/document/d/1eUf5mDxoR4MBDj8bpAqRbAZ2IZhZGMdchah5lF-…> and work with GSE colleagues to develop your Outreach Strategic Plans as soon as possible so that you can start submitting your FY25 CROP trip requests.
