Fwd: [Governance] NetMundial+10: Updates
by Olivier MJ Crépin-Leblond March 4, 2024

March 4, 2024

FYI -- some news about NetMundial. Does ICANN have any plans in relation to this event? Kindest regards, Olivier -------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [Governance] NetMundial+10: Updates Date: Mon, 4 Mar 2024 10:15:40 +0100 From: Bruna Martins dos Santos via Governance <governance(a)lists.igcaucus.org> Reply-To: Bruna Martins dos Santos <bruna.mrtns(a)gmail.com> To: Internet Governance <governance(a)lists.igcaucus.org>, NCSG List <NCSG-DISCUSS(a)listserv.syr.edu>, redlatam(a)lists.accessnow.org Dear all, We, the members of the High-Level Executive Committee of NetMundial+10, would like to share some relevant information about the upcoming event. High-Level Executive Committee As announced by CGI.br, the High-Level Executive Committee (HLEC) <https://netmundial.br/HLEC>will oversee the organization of the event, shaping details such as the program, modes of participation, and expected outcomes. The Civil Society Group of the HLEC is composed of the following names: (a) Anita Gurumurthy (IT4Change), (b) Bia Barbosa (RSF); (c) Bruna Santos (Digital Action); (d) Grace Githaiga (KictaNet); (e) Jason Pielemeier (GNI). Valéria Betancourt (APC) is our stakeholder group representative in the Co-Chairs group of the HLEC. The HLEC group was also sub-divided into 3 working groups on (a) Consultation, (b) program and (c) Participation. So far, our approach to the discussions have all aimed at ensuring linkages with other processes; consideration of structural inequality and exclusion matters as well as barriers for MS engagement in the framing of the consultation and agenda; an open, inclusive and transparent NM+10 process. Dates and Participation As announced at the website <https://netmundial.br/>, the event is set to take place in São Paulo, at the Grand Hyatt Hotel, on the 29th and 30th of April 2024. A form for the submission of statements of interest for participation (online and onsite) will be launched in the coming days. Through the assessment of pre-defined diversity criteria CGI.br will define the final list of participants. Format of the event The event is being conceived in a similar format to the initial edition <https://netmundial.br/2014/pt/>: 2 days of discussions, with an opening session on the morning of the 29th and a closing ceremony at the end of April 30th. Participation onsite will be limited to up to 100 people per stakeholder group, but the HLEC has also confirmed CGI.br initial intention to host the event as a hybrid one with equal footing of participation for online and onsite participants. Subject and outcomes As previously announced by CGI.br, the event will follow the already announced framework of talking about current challenges for multistakeholderism and digital governance - and in the opinion of our SG group the values of equity, justice, and people's participation we hold dear as civil society. NetMundial+10 Secretariat and the HLEC are already working on a draft consultation document about two points: (a) Principles (drawing on the landmark 2014 document <https://document.netmundial.br/1-internet-governance-principles/>); and (b) a common structured agenda named "a new agenda for the future evolution of the digital world". What's next? * Form for collection of statements of interest for participation - Early March * Consultation document with a set of principles and request for topics that could integrate the "new agenda for the future evolution of the digital world" - Mid/late March Kind regards, -- */Bruna Martins dos Santos /* Global Campaigns Manager | Digital Action <http://digitalaction.co> German Chancellor Fellow 21' (Bundeskanzler-Stipendiatin) | Alexander von Humboldt Foundation <https://www.humboldt-foundation.de/> Member | Coalizão Direitos na Rede <https://direitosnarede.org.br/> Co-Coordinator | Internet Governance Caucus <https://igcaucus.org/> Twitter: @boomartins <https://twitter.com/boomartins> // Skype: bruna.martinsantos Email: bruna.mrtns(a)gmail.com

WEBCAST FEB 21- NCSG Special Event – RDRS: What is it and who the [bleep] is getting my personal domain name registration data and when? (Part 1)
by Joly MacFie Feb. 21, 2024

Feb. 21, 2024

Just starting.

(Part 1) <http://isoc.live/?action=user_content_redirect&uuid=f82049d0b6b7b18d486f7c5…>* '. In November 2023, ICANN *launched the official system for access to non-public domain name registration information <http://isoc.live/?action=user_content_redirect&uuid=61b64fe53bf298f4e69db39…>*, known as the Registration Data Request Service, or RDRS. Even though multistakeholder consultations took place during the creation of the RDRS, many questions remain, including, among others, how the system actually functions, the mechanisms in place for monitoring and controlling access to this data, who can actually request data and the role of the registries in fulfilling requests. This event provides an opportunity for the non-commercial community to to learn about the RDRS and how it is used by ICANN and some registrars. *INTRODUCTION* *Kathy Kleiman* - NCSG / American University Washington College of Law *Wisdom Donkor* - NCSG / UN IGF MAG *PRESENTERS* ICANN TUCOWS *LIVESTREAM https://livestream.com/internetsociety/ncsg-rdrs-1 <http://isoc.live/?action=user_content_redirect&uuid=3df8d8e966873ddc885e396…>* *PARTICIPATE VIA ZOOM https://bit.ly/3SHWw5H <http://isoc.live/?action=user_content_redirect&uuid=f82049d0b6b7b18d486f7c5…>* *REAL TIME TEXT* (see *ISOC.LIVE <http://isoc.live/?action=user_content_redirect&uuid=1d4ca7aae20fda408ab2ec7…>* ) *TWITTER #RDRS <http://isoc.live/?action=user_content_redirect&uuid=b52d96989a8a5d105020214…> @NCSG_ICANN @NPOC_ICANN @NCUC @ICANN @tucows @KleimK @wisdomDonkor* *MASTODON #RDRS <http://isoc.live/?action=user_content_redirect&uuid=e6a43f754b4dccfb03b3ac5…>* *SIMULCASTS* *https://twitter.com/ISOC_Live <http://isoc.live/?action=user_content_redirect&uuid=1cc4c29a527c13d0f5c1c27…>* *https://www.twitch.tv/isoclive <http://isoc.live/?action=user_content_redirect&uuid=6d39fcb12959297192198d7…>* *https://www.facebook.com/liveisoc/* <http://isoc.live/?action=user_content_redirect&uuid=5029d00329ae7ed95a7015b…> (AI Captions) *ARCHIVE* *https://archive.org/details/ncsg-rdrs-1 <http://isoc.live/?action=user_content_redirect&uuid=fd93fabdfc51a3e6e614bc1…>* *Permalink https://isoc.live/17326 <https://isoc.live/17326>* - -- -------------------------------------- Joly MacFie +12185659365 -------------------------------------- -

MEAC gTLDs - Totals with Locally and Externally hosted websites
by John McCormac Jan. 25, 2024

Jan. 25, 2024

There seems to be no update from ICANN on the MEAC 2023 study. Here are some of the latest January 2024 gTLD hosting market figures (the MEAC countries from the full set of country level hosting markets spreadsheet) from a monthly domain name statistics report that I publish. The grouping is by hoster (registrar and resellers) associated with the country and the Local field is the number of locally hosted websites and the External field is the number of websites hosted outside that country's IP ranges. The Sites figure is the total number of gTLD websites hosted on the country's IP ranges. Country - ccTLD - region -All gTLDs - Local - External - Sites United Arab Emirates ae AP 42,825 2,160 19,384 11,367 Afghanistan af AP 373 3 331 150 Bahrain bh AP 670 3 263 219 Algeria dz AF 12,601 1,157 10,764 1,406 Egypt eg AF 15,828 2,749 10,247 4,621 Iran ir AP 390,120 182,753 73,212 305,710 Iraq iq AP 1,728 182 1,369 514 Jordan jo AP 3,619 567 970 1,512 Kuwait kw AP 2,308 274 1,324 1,085 Lebanon lb AP 2,827 865 1,181 1,422 Libya ly AF 3,258 22 2,689 404 Morocco ma AF 33,069 8,467 16,105 9,292 Mauritania mr AF 13 1 0 9 Oman om AP 1,167 154 728 508 Pakistan pk AP 97,229 1,860 82,016 5,067 Palestine ps AP 846 404 279 1,038 Qatar qa AP 2,077 67 1,649 423 Saudi Arabia sa AP 32,992 1,872 27,675 4,648 Sudan sd AF 1,014 6 864 46 Somalia so AF 726 1 565 266 Syria sy AP 1,495 573 746 737 Tunisia tn AF 8,447 4,364 2,264 4,885 Turkey tr AP 1,630,854 1,150,503 104,895 1,253,638 Yemen ye AP 320 0 305 179 The sheer vandalism of GDPR on the WHOIS has made the WHOIS records far less reliable when it comes to determining the country of a registration than they were at the time of the previous MEAC study in 2015. Due to GDPR kicking in May 2018, many of the gTLD registrations since then have critical data obscured or redacted. Most of the larger registrars automatically use WHOIS privacy. Some registrars actually provide no data even on the country fields. That's just the registrars. The registrants are far more creative on registration details and often put a completely different country for the registration. That's on some of the available records. From reading through the RFP (again), some of the ICANN requirements are worthy if a little on the optimistic side. Apart from major players like Turkey and Iran, a lot of registrations and websites are externally hosted on transnational registrars and hosting companies. Internet infrastructure, the importance of which was detailed in the draft Africa DNS Market Study 2023, plays a large part in where domain names are hosted. Globally, the reseller market share is approximately 21.98% of the gTLD market.

The SSAC has published SAC123 and SAC122
by Matthias M. Hudobnik Jan. 13, 2024

Jan. 13, 2024

Hi colleagues, the SSAC has published SAC123 and SAC122. ### SSAC Report on the Evolution of Internet Name Resolution (SAC123): · Internet name resolution is evolving beyond just the global DNS to include alternative naming systems that are experimenting with different approaches for reasons like speed, privacy, censorship resistance, and governance. · Many alternative systems adopt DNS name syntax to leverage existing software. · Two concerning trends are increased ambiguity where the same name can resolve differently in different systems, and less visibility of names to end users even as names remain vital for security and trust. · Maintaining integrity and coordination in the shared domain namespace is important. · The report explores different perspectives on these trends from end users and developers. · It identifies proposals to facilitate namespace coordination and recommends ICANN continue tracking these issues and provide regular updates to the community. I highly recommend having a look at chapter: 7.1 End Users (some key aspects as follows): · Domain names used to play an important role for end users in discovering web resources, but search engines have now replaced them as the primary method of discovery. · End users today rarely directly interact with domain names due to the dominance of search engines and mobile devices. Features like browser "omnibars" also allow more free-form input. · Other identifiers like QR codes and social media handles now also compete for users' attention rather than domain names. · Domain names are becoming less visible in users' environments, yet they still provide an underlying ubiquitous resolution context relied upon by other technologies. · Surveys found search engines are by far the predominant method for accessing websites, with domain name usage declining. QR code usage is increasing but still limited except in Asia. · Decreased domain name visibility makes it easier for fraudsters to deceive users with lookalike names. Users are also generally unaware that some TLDs signal a different resolution context. In summary, domain names are no longer the primary method end users employ to find and access Internet resources, decreasing their visibility and understandability while introducing security issues. Link to the report: https://itp.cdn.icann.org/en/files/security-and-stability-advisory-committe… ### SSAC Report on Urgent Requests in gTLD Registration Data Policy (SAC122) · Focus is on handling of Urgent Requests in proposed gTLD registration data policy · Urgent Requests refer to imminent threats to life, injury, infrastructure or child exploitation · Proposed policy requires response to Urgent Requests in 24 hours generally · SSAC contends proposed policy for Urgent Requests is not fit for purpose · Definition and required response times are incompatible · Questions if need and rationale for separate Urgent Request process is fully justified · Existing ICANN policy and industry practices offer useful precedents · Proposed extensions allow responses up to 7 days, not reflecting urgency · Lack of concrete data on frequency and handling of such requests currently · Risks reputation of ICANN multistakeholder model effectiveness - Provides 3 recommendations § Add structure to ensure Urgent Requests handled expediently § Tighten response time requirements to be fit for purpose § Gather data on Urgent Requests for future policy making Link to the report: https://itp.cdn.icann.org/en/files/security-and-stability-advisory-committe… Have a nice evening!

OEWG 6 - Recording / Transcripts
by Joly MacFie Dec. 26, 2023

Dec. 26, 2023

I don't know what you did over Xmas but I took the opportunity to marshall my recordings + transcripts of the recent Open Ended Working Group 6th Session into somewhat digestible form. https://bit.ly/oewg6 Let me be clear, this is a personal project, independent of ISOC, on behalf of the Internet Governance community. The transcripts are straight out of Otter, and contain many errors. Everything EN only. One thing that stood out was India's refinement of its proposal for a "GLOBAL CYBER SECURITY COOPERATION PORTAL" which, if implemented, could do much to enhance multijurisdictional collaboration. https://share.descript.com/view/InH9wi8nc5q The slides are at https://bit.ly/3vm6uBx I never did find a copy of the session agenda, but here a couple of links.
