FW: IDN ccTLD Delegations

FYI ------ Forwarded Message From: Kurt Pritz <kurt.pritz(a)icann.org> Date: Sun, 9 May 2010 18:26:31 -0700 To: Chris Disspain <ceo(a)auda.org.au> Cc: Gabriella Schittek <gabriella.schittek(a)icann.org>, Bart Boswinkel <bart.boswinkel(a)icann.org>, Doug Brent <doug.brent(a)icann.org> Subject: IDN ccTLD Delegations Dear ccNSO members, This has been an historic week for global Internet users with the introduction of the first three country-code IDNs into the root zone. Just two years ago, some were saying that this could not be achieved in any reasonable timeframe, yet working together this community has produced a great outcome. The ccNSO played a critical role in enabling this important accomplishment. We always welcome community discussion on ICANN's work and have noted some comment on how we communicated about the new IDN ccTLD delegations, as well as a suggestion that we may not have met the expectations of the TLD operator. ICANN strives to provide excellent and consistent service, and we think that through our excellent working relationships with the ccNSO and others, the community understands this. Our staff works incredibly hard to provide top service, and we have added staff from the Middle East, Eastern Europe, Asia and other regions to increase our understanding of cultural sensitivities. Recent feedback acknowledges the positive results of these efforts. It is important to understand the ICANN process underlying last week's delegations. - Processing TLD requests and communicating with TLD managers is a team effort at ICANN. Staff at every level worked together with our outside partners and the Board of Directors to accelerate the delegation process, responding to the desire for speed expressed by requestors. - Through its IANA function, ICANN plays a crucial role in working with you and vetting root zone changes. However, the last part of the root zone management process is performed by other parties. ICANN notifies TLD operators of changes once we have been officially notified that a change has taken place. All formal and published processes were followed in executing the IANA function this week, as is always our goal. The Fast Track program introduced a set of issues that must be fully considered and that may ultimately change the communication process. We will continue to dedicate our efforts to fully meeting the expectations of TLD operators. We believe that in the day-to-day operation of the IANA function, relationships between service provider and client are generally positive, constructive and solution-oriented. We will continue to seek ways to improve this process to ensure that ICANN's customers are kept fully informed of occurrences in the delegation process. Last week's groundbreaking introduction of IDNs in the root zone was a milestone in the history of the Internet. Our eye is now on the next big challenge: Internet naming access for the next billion users. Sincerely, Doug Brent Kurt Pritz ICANN ------ End of Forwarded Message

Invitation Policy Development at ICANN webinar
by Gabriella Schittek May 6, 2010

May 6, 2010

Dear all, See the invitation to an ICANN Policy Development webinar below. Gabi WEBINAR: Policy Development at ICANN How You Can Help Shape the Future of the Internet 20 May 2010 at 12.00 UTC and 19.00 UTC On Thursday 20 May at 12.00 UTC and 19.00 UTC, ICANN Policy Staff will host a webinar that introduces newcomers to the world of ICANN and policy development. The webinar will provide an overview of ICANN as an organization, what issues ICANN policy addresses, who develops policy at ICANN (and how), and most importantly, how you can become involved and help ICANN to shape the future of the Internet. This webinar provides useful, actionable information to you if you are wondering whether a role in Internet policy development could benefit your or your organization's long-term goals. The two sessions are duplicates, scheduled to accommodate different time zones. Each session, scheduled to run for 90 minutes, will be conducted in English only. The meeting will be run in Adobe Connect with a slide presentation along with a dial-in conference bridge for audio. Participants will have opportunity to ask questions at the end of each session. During the course of the webinar, questions may be submitted using the chat function of Adobe Connect. If you are not able to participate in either of the live sessions, the slides and MP3 will be made available shortly after the meeting. The policy staff is always available to answer any questions that you email to policy-staff(a)icann.org. In order to participate, please RSVP via email to the GNSO Secretariat (gnso.secretariat(a)gnso.icann.org) to receive the call details. Please indicate which call you would like to join, 12.00 UTC or 19.00 UTC (to convert those times into your local time, see: http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedform.html) We will send you an e-mail reminder before the event with log-in and dial-in details. Please DO NOT RSVP to any other ICANN staff members e-mail address. About ICANN: To reach another person on the Internet you have to type an address into your computer - a name or a number. That address has to be unique so computers know where to find each other. ICANN coordinates these unique identifiers across the world, so that there can be one global Internet. The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) was formed in 1998. It is a not-for-profit partnership of people from all over the world dedicated to keeping the Internet secure, stable and interoperable. It promotes competition and develops policy on the Internet's unique identifiers, primarily the domain name system (DNS), IP addresses, and port numbers.
