TheVerge : Microsoft is shutting down Skype in favor of Teams
by Dev Anand Teelucksingh April 13, 2025

April 13, 2025

So, do we switch to Teams (and will it work for the At-Large Community?) Or another group chat solution ? Dev Anand Teelucksingh "It’s the end of an era. Microsoft is shutting down Skype in May and replacing it with the free version of Microsoft Teams for consumers. Existing Skype users will be able to log in to the Microsoft Teams app and have their message history, group chats, and contacts all automatically available without having to create another account, or they can choose to export their data instead. Microsoft is also phasing out support for calling domestic or international numbers." https://www.theverge.com/news/621353/microsoft-skype-shutting-down-retireme…

Speechless. Sad. Goodbye to our dear friend and colleague. O. ps. please email Paul directly for inclusion of condolences in a memorial book. -------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: Nigel Hickson Date: Mon, 31 Mar 2025 13:31:08 +0000 From: Blaker, Paul (DSIT) <paul.Blaker(a)dsit.gov.uk> To: CC: Stanley-Adamson, Craig (DSIT) <Craig.Stanley-Adamson(a)dsit.gov.uk>, Jaromitski, Esther (DSIT) <Esther.Jaromitski(a)dsit.gov.uk> OFFICIAL Dear colleagues I’m extremely sad to let everyone in MIGG-UK know that Nigel Hickson died over the weekend following a long battle with cancer. He was hugely loved by his team here in DSIT and by friends and colleagues in the UK and around the world, and he will be sorely missed. Nigel made a huge contribution over a forty year career. He worked in a number of government departments in the UK as well as roles in the Government of Bermuda, the Confederation of British Industry and of course eight years at ICANN. He was committed to his work and he was an outstanding champion of a free, open and secure Internet. He stepped down as vice-chair of the GAC only a few weeks ago at the ICANN meeting in Seattle and I know how much it meant to him to receive the thanks and best wishes of so many good friends and colleagues there. My team is planning to put together a memorial book that we can give to his family to commemorate his contribution and to celebrate his memory. If you would like to include a message then please email me and we will paste it into the book. We are in touch with his family and we will pass on any more information that becomes available. I know this news will be upsetting for many people. Our hearts go out to his family and to all those who will miss him. Nigel has left us many great achievements and a great legacy – and most of all he has left us with many warm and happy memories of a wonderful man and a great friend. with best regards, Paul Paul Blaker Head of ITU and Internet Governance Department for Science, Innovation & Technology United Kingdom Tel: +44 (0) 7515 701352 www.gov.uk/dsit <http://www.gov.uk/dsit> | https://twitter.com/SciTechgovuk OFFICIAL

WEBCAST MAR 12 – DC-CIV / At-Large – Core Internet Values: Evolution and Challenges for ICANN
by Joly MacFie March 15, 2025

March 15, 2025

Just started. REAL TIME TEXT https://bit.ly/4hsAk9W [image: ISOC LIVE] <http://isoc.live/?action=user_content_redirect&uuid=56ea09993a9d6d746a5a2b8…> On *Wednesday March 12 2025*, at *10:30-12:00 PDT* (17:30-19:00 UTC) the *Dynamic Coalition on Core Internet Values <http://isoc.live/?action=user_content_redirect&uuid=fe2a5c82e5ea1ec9e423e77…>* (DC-CIV) and the *At-Large Advisory Committee <http://isoc.live/?action=user_content_redirect&uuid=d14c125353f3808684e2d3b…>* (ALAC) will host a session '*Core Internet Values: Evolution and Challenges for ICANN <http://isoc.live/?action=user_content_redirect&uuid=fb989989fe1a854255a589b…>*"\' at the *ICANN 82 Community Forum <http://isoc.live/?action=user_content_redirect&uuid=0f2f867f575e890d4a79a3f…>* in Seattle, Washington. The concept of core Internet values has been a cornerstone of the Internet’s architecture. However, with seismic shifts in technology, governance models, and geopolitical dynamics, these values require adjustment to remain relevant in today’s rapidly evolving environment. This session will examine how such adjustments could affect ICANN’s remit and mission. It will explore the balance between preserving foundational principles and adapting to emerging realities, leveraging insights from technological, governance, and geopolitical trends, alongside ICANN’s operational experience. The discussion will identify necessary changes, their implications for ICANN, and strategies to address these challenges while upholding its core purpose. *PANEL* *Vinton Cerf* - Chief Internet Evangelist, Google *Tripti Sinha* - Chair, ICANN Board of Directors *Olivier Crépin-Leblond* - Chair, Dynamic Coalition on Core Internet Values *Preetam Maloor* - Head, Emerging Technologies Division, ITU *INTERVENTIONS* *Adiel Akplogan - *VP, Technical Engagement, ICANN *Olga Cavalli* - Associate Professor, University of Buenos Aires *James Galvin* - SSAC Liaison, ICANN Board of Directors *David Lawrence* - IETF Liaison, ICANN Board of Directors *Jennifer Chung* - Vice President, Policy, DotAsia Organisation *Tijani BenJemaa* - Executivr Director, Fédération Méditerranéenne des Associations d'Internet (FMAI) *MODERATORS* *Pari Esfandiari* – At-Large Advisory Committee (ALAC) *Alejandro Pisanty* - Professor, National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM) *LIVESTREAM <http://isoc.live/?action=user_content_redirect&uuid=a421141815ec431e534d1c9…> | SIMULCASTS X Live <http://isoc.live/?action=user_content_redirect&uuid=1ec7218bf8121612f76fdcc…> | Twitch <http://isoc.live/?action=user_content_redirect&uuid=2b5e4bf9ef232413d3679d3…> | Facebook Live <http://isoc.live/?action=user_content_redirect&uuid=446d1c33068824979a160f3…>* *PARTICIPATE VIA ZOOM <http://isoc.live/?action=user_content_redirect&uuid=fb989989fe1a854255a589b…> | REAL TIME TEXT <http://isoc.live/?action=user_content_redirect&uuid=7b954cf27e191631ea5895d…> | ADD TO CALENDAR <http://isoc.live/?action=user_content_redirect&uuid=4b9fc1d1cf1de83beea21cb…> | PERMALINK <http://isoc.live/?action=user_content_redirect&uuid=7b954cf27e191631ea5895d…>* *TWITTER #CoreInternetValues <http://isoc.live/?action=user_content_redirect&uuid=8bce7d5ea9c12a9c597cab5…> #ICANN82 MASTODON <http://isoc.live/?action=user_content_redirect&uuid=524b590e2ff703a8ce7ccbb…> | BLUESKY <http://isoc.live/?action=user_content_redirect&uuid=b69fd5742aa1d70c52ac1c0…> | INSTA <http://isoc.live/?action=user_content_redirect&uuid=d4f82129ff2dbdd294c85f2…>* *** ISOC.LIVE is a free webcasting support service for the Internet Society Community - ISOC LIVE is currently unfunded - if you would like to become a monthly sponsor - contact support(a)isoc.live *** - -- -------------------------------------- Joly MacFie +12185659365 -------------------------------------- -
