IMPORTANT REMINDER – to receive the webinar details, please REGISTER. You will receive a confirmation email with the Zoom room link. Please SAVE this as it is your unique link to join the webinar. ************** Dear All, On behalf of Joanna Kulesza and Alfredo Calderon, Co-Chairs of the Capacity Building Working Group, we would like to invite you to join the third webinar of the new At-Large Capacity Building Program – 2020<https://community.icann.org/x/1Ic3Ag> on the Topic of “Geopolitics and Cybersecurity”. The webinar is scheduled on Monday 01 June at 21:00 UTC for 90 minutes. For other times: https://tinyurl.com/yb55h47f [tinyurl.com]<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__tinyurl.com_yb55h47f&d…> The agenda is available here: https://community.icann.org/x/6YUEC French and Spanish interpretation will be provided. ***UPDATED LINK*** Please REGISTER [icann.zoom.us] to receive the webinar details [icann.zoom.us]<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__icann.zoom.us_webinar_…>: https://icann.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_Wu8e39aLTZCkgZfq1qqJqw [icann.zoom.us]<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__icann.zoom.us_webinar_…> The Guest Speakers are: Léon Sánchez [icann.org]<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.icann.org_resource…>, ICANN Board Vice Chair; Veni Markovski<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.icann.org_profiles…>, ICANN Vice President for UN engagement and Javier Rúa-Jovet<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__icannwiki.org_Javier-5…>, ALAC NARALO representative. Building upon the successful geopolitics and cybersecurity session during ICANN 67 [One World - One Internet? Cybersecurity and Geopolitics in a Multistakeholder Environment [67.schedule.icann.org]<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__67.schedule.icann.org_…>], the At-Large Capacity Building Working Group is holding a follow up webinar as a run up to ICANN 68. Its aim is to follow the progress made thus far in enhancing community presence in ongoing cybersecurity and Internet governance discussions as well as get a better understating of upcoming issues and challenges. This interactive webinar will include an update on UN processes potentially impacting ICANN’s mission as well as a review of ICANN Board's progress and further plans in ensuring due representation of the ICANN community in these geopolitical trends. We hope for the webinar to be a platform for developing a better understanding of end user interests as represented in ICANN multistakeholder processes and how those fit in with global multilateral discussion in UN and beyond. Additionally, we will also try to explore whether the recent pandemic has impacted multistakeholder policy development, with particular emphasis on end user interests. During this webinar we would like to address the following questions: * What are the recent developments in international relations and policy making which might have a direct impact on ICANN, its community and its functions (with emphasis on UN OEWG and UN GGE)? Has the pandemic impacted these ongoing processes? What are the nearest prospected outcomes we should be aware of? Have multilateral and multistakeholder processes proven to be contradictory by nature or can they be aligned? * What are the nearest ICANN Board plans to address these developments and interests? How can the ICANN community best support the Board in fulfilling these? * How do we identify a common end user interest among and between these law making efforts? Are end users more than subjects to state jurisdiction - is there a shared common interest to be identified and addressed by the ICANN community? Is the collective interest of end users different from that of state citizens as represented by governments? Does multistakeholderism still offer a critical “post Westphalian” innovation allowing and fostering individual end-user’ engagement internationally, helping counterbalance state-actors’ purely geopolitical interests or are we heading back to multilateralism? The webinar will be an interactive exercise that welcomes questions and discussion from all community members. We will have an interactive quiz during the presentations and an opportunity for Q&A at the end of the presentation. Staff will end the webinar with an Evaluation Survey to allow us to continue to improve these webinars. We hope for this to be a useful point of departure for the upcoming virtual policy forum at ICANN68 (June 22nd - 25th). Thank you.

EURALO elections - SoI
by Joanna Kulesza May 22, 2020

May 22, 2020

Dear all, following Yrjo’s kind nomination, please let me take this opportunity to present my statement of interest in running for the EURALO ALAC seat in the coming term, for your kind consideration in the coming elections. For those of you whom I have not yet had the chance to meet in person, please allow me for a brief introduction. In my day job I teach and research international law and internet governance at the University of Lodz in Poland (https://www.wpia.uni.lodz.pl/en) I am also a Scientific Committee member of the EU Fundamental Rights Agency (https://fra.europa.eu/en/about-fra) Most recently I have been elected to chair (together with Folake Olagunju) the Advisory Board of the Global Forum for Cyber Expertise (https://thegfce.org/about-the-gfce/) Within ICANN I have had the opportunity to serve on the ALAC as appointed by the NomCom to represent European end users since 2018. I currently serve as ALAC Vice Chair for Outreach and Engagement and co-chair (together with Alfredo Calderon) the Capacity Building Working Group within AtLarge. Since my appointment I have been extensively supporting the AtLarge leadership in advancing the community and implementing key takeaways from the AtLarge review, including during the recent ATLAS III Summit. Before joining the ALAC, I was twice an ICANN fellow (ICANN58 and ICANN60 where I also served as a Fellowship Coach) and a member of the NCUC. Working with ICANN's GSE team I have supported various events in Poland and beyond, just to mention the launch of Internet Academy Poland as well as a series of panels during the annual Computers and Data Privacy Conference in Brussels (CPDP). If elected, I would like to keep working on building capacity within the AtLarge community with particular focus on promoting and advancing the leading role EURALO has been playing in its CB work. The current capacity building work within EURALO has allowed the AtLarge community to better understand end user interests and duly represent them. Among these numerous initiatives let me just note the rich array of IG Summer Schools we are hosting in the region, the successful EURODig and corresponding local events, spanning across the continent and, last but certainly not least, the varied and well informed group of European individual users that facilitates them. Through all of these and beyond EURALO has supported the ICANN community with well experienced and informed members as well as versatile policy perspectives. I want to keep working on advancing these efforts, with particular focus on my home region of Central and Eastern Europe. I appreciated the most recent opportunity to work together with eager, young EURALO members in Hungary organizing the first Hungarian IGF last year (https://igfhungary.hu/) I enjoyed working with GSE staff on showcasing ICANN’s work to my students (https://mlodziwlodzi.pl/wirtualny-miesiac-z-icann-na-wpia-ul/) while I highly appreciate the advice and skills shared by our experienced members, who have worked on similar events before (just to mention the long running series of highly successful IRIS conferenceshttps://www.univie.ac.at/RI/IRIS2020/ or our members involvement within Giganethttps://www.giga-net.org/ ). I have utterly enjoyed working in this quickly advancing community and, if given the opportunity, I would be eager to support EURALO’s position in the global AtLarge and ICANN community. I am particularly looking forward to welcoming those coming to Katowice this fall for the IGF 2020. I view capacity building as the initial and necessary step toward efficient and well informed policy development. Steps already taken to achieve this aim are: the ongoing series of webinars, upcoming ICANN Learn courses and a repository of CB resources. For a detailed description of current and upcoming capacity building resources please kindly see here:https://community.icann.org/display/atlarge/At-Large+Capacity+Building… and here:https://community.icann.org/display/atlarge/At-Large+Capacity+Building… for the overall description of the work of the CBWG. As a side note: CBWG is always open to new volunteers! Feel free to reach out if you made it this far in reading my message and (still) want to join. Further developing the tools referenced above will hopefully allow to do both: better understand and represent end user interests and initiate discussions on how to improve existing processes. I am convinced AtLarge is in the best position to serve as a capacity building and, effectively, informed policy development resource as it spans across the entire ICANN community, welcoming views from across regions and cultures. I view the AtLarge as a consensus building platform and a test bed for well informed, pragmatic policies for the entire ICANN community. EURALO has a unique experience to offer in this respect, as we come from a very limited geographical space that has managed to find feasible, consensus based solutions for peaceful and efficient coexistence. This is an example to be shred and duplicated globally and I would be honoured to be able to try and meet this aim. For my official SOI please kindly see here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1otj9Hr24ghtDJEkzOOwQayomq5_SR01Q/view and here https://icann.zoom.us/rec/play/tMUvIuihrDs3HtadsASDV6ArW465Jvis23Ma8_YIyxu2… for the recording from the last EURALO call where I was granted the opportunity to present it. Thank you for your consideration.

At the end of 2018, I was not aware of any .FI registrar > offering DNSSEC for their customers: Only 1 percent of domains were signed, > and none of the three big ISPs were validating Internet traffic in Finland. > Those were very depressing numbers, especially when compared to the success > of DNSSEC in the other Nordic countries. > > At the beginning of 2019, we asked our colleagues at the National Cyber > Security Center for an opportunity to attend their meeting with the Finnish > ISPs and talk about DNSSEC. In that meeting, we asked a question: "In your > opinion, what should we do in order to boost DNSSEC usage in Finland?" They > gave us the clearest answer so far: "We see DNSSEC as an important addition > to security, but we don't want to do it alone. If it breaks something, our > customers will switch to a non-DNSSEC supporting operator. We will > implement DNSSEC if we don't need to do it alone." That was it! So simple. > The idea of DNSSEC (re)Launch Day was born. > > There were two main components in our DNSSEC Launch Day campaign. The > first one was a campaign website with a public list of registrars and ISPs > committed to implementing DNSSEC by the date of Launch Day. This was > important to convince participants that they were not alone in implementing > DNSSEC. The second component was to get publicity. First, there were some > articles in professional online media, but the real game-changer was a one > and half page article in the main national newspaper, the Helsingin > Sanomat: “DNSSEC and its low adoption rate in Finland. > <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001TNgwtZ4HeFNu_BAj1-rFshRNI1rYrI4p6GG8G8acZ0JJ…>” > The article was straightforward, and it made people wake up. > > At the end of 2019, there were at least 250 registrars offering DNSSEC to > their customers, 2 percent of domains were signed (low, but doubled in > number), and the validation rate exceeded 90 percent, one of the highest in > the world.
