As UA adoption has grown, it has become increasingly important to focus on measuring UA progress and challenges to identify where resources and support are needed most. That is why ICANN recently conducted two surveys to assess the UA-readiness of key stakeholder groups and published reports of the results. The first report, “UA Readiness Survey Report – Contracted Parties and Registry Service Providers [r20.rs6.net]<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001X1mmtZxQSCuDDzb7…>,” examines the UA-readiness of registry operators, registrars, and registry service providers. The second report, “UA Readiness Survey Report – ccTLDs [r20.rs6.net]<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001X1mmtZxQSCuDDzb7…>,” covers country code top-level domain (ccTLD) managers.

IANA plans to prepublish the key in the DNS, starting in January 2024. It will be held in standby for about two years, during which ICANN will conduct an extensive outreach campaign to ensure a seamless transition to the new key for the global Internet community.

[r20.rs6.net]<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001TEzt9jhfOTR_STdz…> 🔥 ACTION ITEM: Sign up for Strategic Outlook Identification Sessions ICANN’s FY25 Planning Process has started, beginning with the strategic outlook program. We are looking for participation from community members in the trend identification sessions through their Supporting Organization (SO) or Advisory Committee (AC). ICANN will collaborate with SO and AC chairs and support teams to schedule sessions from March through May 2023. This program is a joint effort of the ICANN ecosystem to identify and track trends that are related to ICANN. This ensures that the opportunities and challenges are incorporated into current and future planning. Once trends are identified, ICANN will conduct a trend analysis and impact assessment. Significant shifts could result in adjustments to the strategic plan. Moreover, new trends or shifts in existing trends also impact the operating plans (five-year or annual) and/or budget, and are factored into the annual iteration of those plans as appropriate. All strategic outlook sessions will be conducted virtually, and community members are encouraged to join this important discussion. We look forward to your participation in this dialogue about ICANN planning and strategy. Thank you for your support in the ICANN planning process.

3 - EURALO Newsletter, March 2023
by Natalia Filina April 5, 2023

April 5, 2023

Dear EURALO members, The last edition of the EURALO Newsletter is ready to read! Traditionally - thank you all who shared the feedback, news, announcements for this edition, your help and activities are very important. The Newsletter may be found at the link https://community.icann.org/display/EURALO/EURALO+Newsletters and in addition to this email. I share with you not only the Newsletter, but also a special feeling that we are starting to work together again. I hope to receive requests from the EURALO community *for missing technical webinars* (as well as any other knowledge gaps for working within the ICANN community, which we can make up with the help of the Capacity Building WG). I would like to remind you about importance to attend EURALO monthly meetings (part of them are successful RounTables with open discussion), CPWG calls, ALAC meetings. I also hope that we can do more together for the upcoming IGF2023 and bring up actual topics for discussion and propose solutions. Have a great time there, Sincerely, Natalia Filina Secretary of EURALO https://atlarge.icann.org/alses/euralo ALAC Subcommittee on Outreach and Engagement, Co-Chair, REGIONAL OUTREACH LIAISON MENTOR AND TRAINER +7 906 722 54 61 Moscow, Russian Federation
