Thanks Fahd for this email... unfortunately, Somali applicants seem to miss out. Any suggestions or feedback on the past unsuccessful applications from Somalia. I guess my question is, what contributes to the failures, so that we can learn from those mistakes. Thanks.

The Key to the Internet and Key Ceremonies: An Explainer
by Fahd Batayneh July 14, 2023

July 14, 2023

If you hear about the "keys to the Internet," the topic usually relates to a very specific thing — a digital key that is used to verify the security of the Domain Name System (DNS). The concept of a master key that controls such an essential function sounds like it is lifted from spy novels. It has been the subject of many stories, television, and radio shows, that focus on the idea that seven people hold keys to the Internet. These fictionalized accounts, and some of the journalistic reporting, can overplay its significance. Let's explore in simple terms what these keys are and how it's all managed. https://www.icann.org/en/blogs/details/the-key-to-the-internet-and-key-cere… Fahd Batayneh ICANN

IDS 2023 will be co-located with "A Day of DNS Abuse Discussions" (4 September), also hosted by ICANN, and OARC 41 (6-7 September), hosted by DNS-OARC. The theme for IDS 2023 is "The integration of DNS with emerging technologies". IDS2023 will focus on the integration of DNS with emerging technologies, exploring the challenges and opportunities associated with this integration, including challenges related to security. The symposium invites researchers, developers, and operators to present on subjects including, but not limited to, blockchains, IoT, and novel uses of the DNS, such as IP-to-location translation, blocklists, and so on. We are soliciting proposals for presentations. Please send a one-paragraph description of your proposed topic to ids-proposals(a)icann.org by 14 August 2023. We will notify accepted speakers and publish a preliminary agenda by 18 August 2023. The agenda and participation information will be forthcoming. Thank you, Fahd Batayneh ICANN
