With this filing and receipt, PTI is now formed as a nonprofit public benefit corporation and controlled affiliate of ICANN. The PTI incorporation documents were drafted to reflect the recommendations of the IANA Stewardship Transition Coordination Group (ICG) proposal, as provided to the ICANN Board and transmitted to NTIA on 10 March 2016. PTI was formed to perform the naming-related IANA functions under contract with ICANN. However, for purposes of coherence of the IANA functions and overall operational logistics, the ICG proposal also requires that the performance of the IANA numbering and protocol parameter functions be subcontracted to PTI. Although PTI now exists as a legal entity, it is not yet performing any work. PTI will not perform any services under the IANA functions contract with NTIA. PTI will only start performing the IANA functions upon the successful completion of the transition. Read more...

Also, at the invitation of India, the host country, the GAC will engage in local outreach and capacity-building activities on the first and last days of ICANN57. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ccNSO Members to Elect Councilors and Nominate Candidate for ICANN Board Seat 11 >From September to December 2016, Country Code Names Supporting Organization (ccNSO) members will elect one Councilor from each respective ICANN region. In the event that two or more candidates from the same region are nominated and accept their nomination, an election will be conducted among the members from that region. In addition, there will be a special election in the African region to fill a vacancy on the ccNSO Council. Moreover, ccNSO members will also nominate - and if two or more candidates are nominated, elect - a candidate for ICANN Board Seat 11. The term begins at the Annual General Meeting in 2017. Only ccNSO members, via their primary contacts, are eligible to vote. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Framework of Interpretation Implementation Advisory The Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) received a request not to contact the administrative and technical contacts listed in the IANA database with issues of delegation or revocation or retirement of a country code top-level domain (ccTLD). Instead, these more serious changes to the IANA database warrant a separate procedure and contact person. ICANN staff members working on the implementation of the Framework of Interpretation (FOI) have raised some questions on how to implement this request. Based on conversations and input received, the FOI Implementation Advisory Team, consisting of Becky Burr and Keith Davidson, recently advised IANA staff as follows: * There has been no consistency in the feedback received from the very small pool of ccNSO Councilors. Opening up the consultation to seek more, additional opinions will be no avail. * IANA should introduce a field to record the instruction from the ccTLD with respect to the approval contact in case of more serious changes to the IANA database. Each ccTLD manager should be asked to give individual instructions. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ By Hadia El Miniawi Director, Domain Name System Entrepreneurship Center (DNS-EC) Thanks to ICANN's Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with EURid, I was able to receive three weeks of training at the .eu Academy at EURid's office in Pisa, Italy. The first part of the training focused on marketing. I was introduced to .eu promotion programs, co-funded marketing programs, testimonials, the registrars' platform, effective marketing strategies, and means of encouraging new registrars' accreditation (which included webinars and video conferences). In addition, I received training on different social media marketing tools. During the hands-on session, I wrote a paper that highlighted the impact of websites and social media on businesses. This part of the training was particularly important to the DNS-EC, as it will help us create an effective marketing strategy. The second part of the training focused on business continuity. I was introduced to different business continuity standards, disaster recovery and the capability maturity model. As part of the training, I created a risk and business impact analysis for the DNS-EC, which included defining mitigating actions. Both the training and the exercise contributed to the achievement of one of the center's strategic objectives: "Ensure that DNS-EC is well established and is operationally sustainable in the long term." Background: EURid, the registry manager of the .eu and .ею (Cyrillic script) country code top-level (ccTLD) domains, opened the .eu Academy in early 2015. The main objective of the academy is to educate industry peers, registrars and future stakeholders about the Internet. Hadia El Miniawi attended the .eu Academy in Pisa, Italy, in August 2016. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Fifty New gTLDs Were Delegated in August nba fiat ferrari dodge cbs oldnavy gap hbo eco pay For the full list of new gTLDs delegated in August 2016, click here [http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001IFH4qxUt-TLHV51FZggQ9ZynznS2TarkhTdqEVpzFxld…] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Join us at these upcoming EMEA events: * 19-23 September - iWeek [http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001IFH4qxUt-TLHV51FZggQ9ZynznS2TarkhTdqEVpzFxld…] Johannesburg, South Africa * 22-23 September - West Africa Internet Governance Forum (IGF) [http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001IFH4qxUt-TLHV51FZggQ9ZynznS2TarkhTdqEVpzFxld…] Niamey, Niger * 26-27 September - European Cybersecurity Forum (CYBERSEC) [http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001IFH4qxUt-TLHV51FZggQ9ZynznS2TarkhTdqEVpzFxld…] Krakow, Poland * 26-28 September - Task Force on Arabic Script Internationalized Domain Names Fifth Face-to-Face Meeting (TF-AIDN 5th F2F Meeting) [http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001IFH4qxUt-TLHV51FZggQ9ZynznS2TarkhTdqEVpzFxld…] Istanbul, Turkey * 27-28 September - Telecoms World Middle East 2016 [http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001IFH4qxUt-TLHV51FZggQ9ZynznS2TarkhTdqEVpzFxld…] Dubai, United Arab Emirates * 30 September - 2 October -Internet Governance in the Middle East and North Africa Region Summit (iGmena Summit) [http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001IFH4qxUt-TLHV51FZggQ9ZynznS2TarkhTdqEVpzFxld…] Tunis, Tunisia * 7 October - TheName.Show [http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001IFH4qxUt-TLHV51FZggQ9ZynznS2TarkhTdqEVpzFxld…] Valencia, Spain * 11-12 October - Portugal Digital Summit 2016 [http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001IFH4qxUt-TLHV51FZggQ9ZynznS2TarkhTdqEVpzFxld…] Lisbon, Portugal Learn more about how ICANN will be participating in regional events near you [http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001IFH4qxUt-TLHV51FZggQ9ZynznS2TarkhTdqEVpzFxld…] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Forward this email http://ui.constantcontact.com/sa/fwtf.jsp?llr=nj88a9rab&m=1118638566701&ea=… This email was sent to euro-discuss(a)atlarge-lists.icann.org by emea.communications(a)communications.icann.org.
