NEW: ICANN Publishes DNS Abuse Trends
DNS abuse is one of the most important discussions for the ICANN community to have and ICANN is the right place to discuss issues related to technical abuse. However,
depending on what you mean by DNS abuse, some types may not fall within ICANN's responsibility as the technical coordinator of the DNS. ICANN is not the Internet's content police. Instead, ICANN org has a program
focused on DNS security threats [r20.rs6.net], which adhere to ICANN's technical
role and capabilities.

How the ICANN Community Helped Pave the Way for a More Multilingual Internet
ICANN's mission is to help ensure a stable, secure, and unified global Internet. But what exactly is required to support a global Internet? Most of the world's population
does not speak English as a first language or write their language using only the letters a-z. In fact, only
slightly more than a third [r20.rs6.net] of the world's population uses the Latin script and an even smaller number uses only the letters a-z.

NEW: ICANN Updates UNR Registry Agreement Assignments Status
In January, ICANN org published a blog
[r20.rs6.net] to provide clarity related to the community-developed gTLD Registry Agreement assignment approval process, and context related to the proposed assignments
of gTLD Registry Agreements by UNR Corp (UNR).

NEW: ICANN Request for Proposal: IMRS Cluster (Africa) Colocation
ICANN org issued a request for proposal (RFP) to identify one or more vendors to provide a secure colocation space, one in Egypt and one in Kenya, for two new ICANN
Managed Root Server (IMRS) clusters.
As part of the service provided to the Internet community, ICANN operates one of the 13 root servers of the Internet, the IMRS, also known as L.ROOT-SERVERS.NET.
Installing the two clusters will result in increased root server capacity for the African region and improve the resiliency of not only the IMRS, but also the entire Root Server System.
