ICANN NEWS Global Internet Community Comes Together for the First UA Day The global Internet community recently came together for the first-ever UA Day [r20.rs6.net]<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001XyQLEszikUDbES7u…> to mobilize key stakeholders around Universal Acceptance (UA). More than 50 events took place on and around 28 March in more than 40 different countries. UA Day events consisted of awareness and technical training sessions aimed at helping top technical and language communities, governments, and domain name industry stakeholders to better understand the benefits of UA and how to make their systems UA-ready. UA ensures that all valid domain names and email addresses, regardless of script, language, or character length, can be used equally by all Internet-enabled applications, devices, and systems.

The NTRA is the first manager of an Internationalized Domain Name (IDN) country code top-level domain (ccTLD) to join the ccNSO since its creation 20 years ago. This milestone reflects the growing importance of IDN ccTLDs and the increasing recognition of their role in enabling linguistic and cultural diversity on the Internet. From starting the discussion of IDN ccTLDs in 2006, to the launch of the Fast Track Process in 2009, and finally to the ICANN Bylaws Amendments in 2022, the ccTLD community has worked hard to enable IDN ccTLD managers to join the ccNSO. Membership in the ccNSO is open to any ccTLD manager. A ccTLD manager is the organization or entity that is responsible for managing a ccTLD and is listed in the IANA Root Zone Database [r20.rs6.net]<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001XyQLEszikUDbES7u…>. The ccNSO now has 174 members.

The EPDP-IDNs Team is seeking input on its 68 preliminary recommendations on the definition of IDN generic top-level domains (gTLDs) and the management of IDN variants at the top-level. The EPDP Team will hold a webinar [r20.rs6.net]<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001XyQLEszikUDbES7u…> on 17 May at 11:00–12:30 UTC to review the key recommendations and facilitate participation in the Public Comment proceeding. The EPDP-IDNs Team’s efforts build on the existing work on IDNs, specifically the recommendations of the New gTLD Subsequent Procedures Policy Development Process (PDP). The EPDP-IDNs Team aims to fill the gaps not addressed by the PDP, such as how to allow for variant gTLD applications in future rounds of new gTLDs. GDS UPDATE Next Round of New gTLDs: Forming the Implementation Review Team [SubPro IRT] By Lars Hoffmann, Senior Director, Policy Research and Stakeholder Programs ICANN is in the process of forming the Implementation Review Team (IRT) to support the implementation of policy recommendations for future rounds of new gTLDs. During ICANN76, the ICANN Board directed [r20.rs6.net]<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001XyQLEszikUDbES7u…> the ICANN organization to produce a comprehensive Implementation Plan by 1 August 2023. The plan will contain information on infrastructure development, timelines, and the anticipated resource requirements to open the next round of new gTLD applications. Having consulted [r20.rs6.net]<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001XyQLEszikUDbES7u…> with the Generic Names Supporting Organization Council at ICANN76, ICANN is piloting an "Open + Representative model" for the upcoming IRT. This model will provide a structure that allows for the efficient resolution of issues that may arise.

Groups should aim to return the forms by 15 May 2023. The ICANN organization regularly updates its strategy for targeted outreach and promotion for the Fellowship Program. SOs/ACs are being asked to provide guidance on diversity goals for the program. These may include, but are not limited to, skills and experience, stakeholder group affiliation, region, gender, and language. ICANN org will use this list of goals to inform the program’s outreach and promotion strategy. Input is welcome on any specific local, regional, or global events where promoting the Fellowship Program would help identify strong candidates. These goals will be revised by the SOs/ACs every two years. 🔥 ACTION ITEM: Sign up for Strategic Outlook Identification Sessions ICANN’s FY25 Planning Process has started, beginning with the strategic outlook program. We are looking for participation from community members in the trend identification sessions through their Supporting Organization (SO) or Advisory Committee (AC). ICANN will collaborate with SO and AC chairs and support teams to schedule sessions from March through May 2023. This program is a joint effort of the ICANN ecosystem to identify and track trends that are related to ICANN. This ensures that the opportunities and challenges are incorporated into current and future planning. Once trends are identified, ICANN will conduct a trend analysis and impact assessment. Significant shifts could result in adjustments to the strategic plan. Moreover, new trends or shifts in existing trends also impact the operating plans (five-year or annual) and/or budget, and are factored into the annual iteration of those plans as appropriate. All strategic outlook sessions will be conducted virtually, and community members are encouraged to join this important discussion. We look forward to your participation in this dialogue about ICANN planning and strategy. Thank you for your support in the ICANN planning process. 🔥 ACTION ITEM: Register for the Asia Pacific Domain Name System Forum 2023 ICANN and the Hong Kong Internet Registration Corporation (HKIRC) invite interested participants to register [r20.rs6.net]<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001zuUOj_LOrU4o5gjS…> for the Asia Pacific (APAC) Domain Name System (DNS) Forum 2023 in Hong Kong, China.
