The NRO EC also requested the ASO AC to strengthen the ICP-2 by developing an initial draft of an updated version of ICP-2. During ICANN79 public work sessions, the ASO AC reviewed a timeline to complete these two tasks and had a discussion about the principles in creating an updated version of the ICP-2. Highlights · ASO AC reviewed a timeline and identified opportunities to collect feedback from the Regional Internet Registry (RIR) communities and ICANN community in 2024 and 2025 · ASO AC held substantial discussions on which principles should be included in drafting an updated version of the ICP-2 · ASO AC partnered with the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) to offer a public information session, “Let’s Talk About Numbers,” featuring a presentation on the allocation of the number resources. Next Steps The ASO AC will continue to review the principles in drafting an updated version of the ICP-2 during weekly teleconference sessions. Once an updated version of the ICP-2 has been drafted, the ASO AC will consult with the RIR communities and ICANN community and collect feedback.

Throughout her career, she has actively engaged with online content dissemination, user behavior analysis, and the intersection of technology with information accessibility. This naturally led Fraga to develop a nuanced understanding of the challenges and opportunities in managing information flows in the digital space, forming a strong foundation for her interest in ICANN's mission. She is currently based in Miami, pursuing a Master of Business Administration at One League University, and has been involved in the Youth Brazil Program for Internet Governance for five years. ICANN79 will be the first ICANN event for Fraga.
