Question: How will you ensure you stay in touch with your region’s ccTLD expectations of the ccNSO ?
Although ICANN considers .AS (American Samoa) to be in the North American Region, the actual territory is located in the south pacific, south of the equator, almost 4,800 nautical miles southwest of Los Angeles. My focus is not so much on my actual ICANN region, as I consider it very well served by my colleagues from .CA and .US, but rather on the needs the internet community in America Samoa, as well as their nearby neighbors in the Oceania region, whom ICANN considers (properly) to be in the Asia Pacific region. As many of you know, I also work closely with the Administrator of .vi (US Virgin Islands), providing consultative support on territorial internet related initiatives and outreach efforts to nearby Caribbean neighbors.
Question: How are you planning to inform your region’s ccTLDs of ongoing discussions or decisions from the ccNSO ?
As noted in my response to the first question. I focus my efforts on American Samoa, its nearby neighbors, and the US Virgin Islands. There is a nascent internet community in American Samoa, and it’s not locally organized, which complicates direct outreach. As a result, I maintain relationships with the local ISPs, and periodically update them on ccNSO and greater ICANN community developments which may impact their customer base, the local internet community.
