Hebrew Label Generation Panel is Launched Successfully

During the past decade, the ICANN organization and community have made significant progress in their work towards a global, multilingual Internet. As part of this work, ICANN instituted the IDN Program<http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001dRYX_uisVxwZ0WfwIYiBtLoitTpf5VBqLkhnGV3kF2v11GFcahoiTb0QNkqzw7dqCyLUb0pnUseBbkNkAV6IDzXlxx4xQmhr7INYBi2VY-j8Cct5c84tYNKybFONsjDSiRTVOgpMaD2mizdNQf5X3Ulc4MZ9umnYqcCVVYITtjbTVSui_aZv8Q8o-kvp6iAn2qyyZWchUxXjV_-fUZvdUiqvDFUmqxzu&c=KX0Qgdj6SRe6eYUaZJ8ONlNI9nmPgCoOD3rEBMrozhJA5bh5QitIHg==&ch=c4pUqAfSUmI5i-64o6w-eyww96t2WsJfJ_wmgBKtCaFi1mhltXBvOw==> to assist in the development and promotion of a multilingual Internet using Internationalized Domain Names (IDNs). A total of 151 IDN top-level domains (TLDs) have been delegated so far, including 95 IDN generic top-level domains (gTLDs) and 56 IDN country code top-level domains (ccTLDs).

The IDN Program is continuing to grow with the launch of the Hebrew Script Generation Panel in July. The panel will shape the rules governing the usage of the Hebrew characters in the Domain Name System (DNS) TLD. The panel members are from the Israeli Internet Community: Doron Shikmoni, Matitiahu Allouche, Meir Krausher, Dorit Lerrer, and Yoram Hacohen.

Yoram Hacohen, CEO of ISOC-IL<http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001dRYX_uisVxwZ0WfwIYiBtLoitTpf5VBqLkhnGV3kF2v11GFcahoiTV1P5qc0vc72EGM2JvQYHyJPujW-nJaejJkB3sb7YZTFpjhs6eWftI9SJN8x7LJV0w76gOyZ9J2NUWgRQoa8EKHsZmXiEq7WKj6lvMcN_9AhsFZYCtOtopY=&c=KX0Qgdj6SRe6eYUaZJ8ONlNI9nmPgCoOD3rEBMrozhJA5bh5QitIHg==&ch=c4pUqAfSUmI5i-64o6w-eyww96t2WsJfJ_wmgBKtCaFi1mhltXBvOw==>, remarked on the launch of the Panel, stating "The Israeli Internet Association ISOC-IL is happy to lead the process and help the Israeli Internet Community and ICANN design proper rules for the implementation of Hebrew characters in the TLD."

The event was hosted by Sberbank, the biggest state-owned bank in Russia, and its subsidiary BI.ZONE, a threat intelligence firm. Among the participants were CEOs and CISOs of global security players such as Interpol, SWIFT, SecureKey, AnchorFree, Kaspersky Lab, as well as local government representatives. Discussion topics ranged from the challenges of digital transformation to international cooperation. Russian President Vladimir Putin delivered a keynote about the state plans for the development of the Russian digital economy.

ICANN's Alexandra Kulikova, Global Stakeholder Engagement Director - Eastern Europe and Central Asia, and John Crain, Chief SSR Officer, were part of a group of experts invited to witness a real-time simulation of a cyber incident response, in which members of Sberbank's cybersecurity team mitigated an attack. Crain was also a panelist in a session on international cooperation to address cybercrime, where he highlighted the need for national police to modernize and spoke about the ICANN Office of the Chief Technology Officer (OCTO) team's capacity building efforts to prepare law enforcement for global cyber challenges.

On 20 July, ICANN announced the publication of a paper describing the methodology used in the Domain Abuse Activity Reporting (DAAR) system and two reviews of that methodology. DAAR was designed to provide the ICANN community with reliable, persistent, and reproducible data from which security threat (abuse) analyses could be performed.

Minimal User Impact Expected from Root Zone Key Signing Key (KSK) Rollover
As a result of recent analysis, the ICANN organization believes that the Key Signing Key (KSK) rollover is expected to affect only a very small number of DNS users. The decision to roll the root zone Key Signing Key (KSK) is being made after a significant outreach effort and careful consideration of all available data.

*       Current practices by ccTLD managers who allow emojis as second-level domains.

Although the terms of reference were adopted in February 2016, the study group started its work following ICANN62.
