WEBCAST: Africa Peering and Interconnection Forum 2014 (AfPIF) live now and the next two days from Dakar
by Joly MacFie Aug. 26, 2014

Aug. 26, 2014

I've said it before but the AfPIF is likely the single best event the the Internet Society presents. Interconnection is the lifeblood of the Internet. It's an organic and dynamic ad hoc process that is little understood, one might say esoteric. The AfPIF serves to illustrate and educate on it's arcane secrets. joly posted: "The 5th Africa Peering and Interconnection Forum (AfPIF) takes place from 26-28 August, 2014 in Dakar, Senegal.

Music Night in Los Angeles
by Roberto Gaetano Aug. 22, 2014

Aug. 22, 2014

Folks, I take the opportunity in this slow mid-August weekend, when the mailing list is almost idle, to talk about a more frivolous subject: music night in LA. Following the good feedback we had for the music session at the Summit in London, some of us were thinking of having a similar event as part of the music night in LA. However, it would be nice to extend participation to any musician, and try to get a bit more organized - for instance, decide the tunes at least 10 minutes before the show J Personally, I would like to make this a multi-stakeholder event - the band will be called the GEMS (Global Equal Multi-Stakeholders) and I hope to have this call for EoI (Expression of Interest) by musicians in most stakeholders list. I am starting from ALAC, also with the request to circulate this in the regional lists (I have only access to EURALO, in copy). If any musician wants to volunteer, please let me know by email at your earliest convenience. Cheers, Roberto

ICANN Report: Overview and History of the IANA Functions
by Joly MacFie Aug. 17, 2014

Aug. 17, 2014

As discussion continues on the US NTIA prposal to transfer stewardship of the IANA functions to the multistakeholder community continues, there is still a fair degree of ignorance as to just what the functions are, and their history. This report serves as a valuable primer. joly posted: "ICANN's Security and Stability Advisory Committee (SSAC) has issued a report "Overview and History of the IANA Functions". The report describes the activities included in the IANA Functions contract as well as the functions performed under the IETF MoU in" ICANN's Security and Stability Advisory Committee <https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/ssac-2012-02-25-en> (SSAC) has issued a report "*Overview and History of the IANA Functions* <https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/sac-067-en.pdf>". The report describes the activities included in the IANA Functions contract as well as the functions performed under the IETF MoU in order to establish a baseline of understanding for those interested in how the upper-most level of the Internet’s system of unique identifiers is managed. It focuses primarily on the IANA Functions contract, but is intended to describe all of the activities related to the IANA Functions as they are currently performed, including those that lie outside of the IANA Functions contract.

Re: [At-Large] [EURO-Discuss] Off-topic, but not so much
by Desiree Miloshevic Aug. 16, 2014

Roberto Great to hear that you'll be travelling to Alabania as well to some countries of former Yugoslavia. I am more than happy to put you in touch with some local communities like the ISOC Belgrade Chapter www.isoc.rs, a potential ALS from the region. We've been discussing our application for quite some time and if we had any capacity to participate in the ALS processes meaningfully. Also Share Foundation from Novi Sad do a great work in the region and outside the region and are organising an event in Belgrade during the last two days of the IGF in Istanbul if you could make it. I am currently in Croatia where there will be a regional event next weekend "Nothing will Happen" in Rijeka 21-24 with communities from old Yugoslavia: Macedonia, Croatia, Serbia and Bosnia, Slovenia but also Germany and Spain. Topics include community driven free wireless networks, public library, collaborative book writing but also politics and hacking. You would be most welcome to attend and I can send you details off the list or anyone to the list who's interested. If in Belgrade please stop by the open space I set up and co-founded in Belgrade www.oosm.org.

Off-topic, but not so much

I will attend the ICANN Studienkreis in Sofia at the end of this month (http://www.icann-studienkreis.net/) After that, I am planning to travel in Albania and the southern countries of the former Yugoslavia. I will be somewhat constrained in time, but if there will be the opportunity to meet with the local Internet communities, I would love to do it. To the best of my knowledge, there's no ALS over there (please correct me if I am wrong) but I would appreciate if someone has contacts. Cheers, Roberto
