REGISTER NOW! ICANN 59 Read Out Session @CivicHall NYC 6pm Thursday
by Joly MacFie July 17, 2017

July 17, 2017

It's an extraordinary thing. Three times a year 1000s of people fly to some remote destination to get together, in the first non-multilateral global governance process in history, to argue about how the Internet runs, specifically addressing and routing, and the role of names in that. What might at first seem a purely technical matter is fraught with commercial. social, legal, and other concerns. What is even more extraordinary is that, when it comes to the NYC tech community, despite their almost absolute dependence on these systems, there is a preponderance of ignorance on the most elemental aspects of this policy process - one that could have dramatic effects on their efforts & businesses. At ISOC-NY we do our best to rectify that! New post on *ISOC-NY NOTICE BOARD* REGISTER NOW! #ICANN59 Read Out Session @CivicHall 6pm Thursday #ICANN <http://isoc-ny.org/p2/9285> [image: ICANN 59] <https://www.meetup.com/isoc-ny/events/241796556/>On *Thursday July 24 2017 at 6pm EDT* the *Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers <http://icann.org/>*(ICANN) and the *Internet Society's New York Chapter <http://isoc-ny.org/>* (ISOC-NY) present a recap of *ICANN 59 <https://meetings.icann.org/en/johannesburg59>* which took place in Johannesburg at the end of June. Some major issues under discussion were: - the future of the WHOIS system which identifies owners of websites - the robustness and reliability of Internet routing - access to the new TLDs - domain dispute process - law enforcement - Intellectual Property - human rights This 'Read Out' will not only give insights on what went down in Jo'burg, but also provide an opportunity for the NYC Internet community at-large to make its views known. *Please join us! * *Remote participation will be available - https://zoom.us/j/260896618 <https://zoom.us/j/260896618>* *Register (F2F or online) via Eventbrite - https://www.eventbrite.com/e/icann-59-read-out-session-tickets-36010695961 <https://www.eventbrite.com/e/icann-59-read-out-session-tickets-36010695961> * ISOC-NY works strongly to raise awareness and bring as many voice as possible to these processes. We would like to engage the NY tech and startup community as they could and should benefit from learning about these issues and taking on a greater interest. http://isoc-ny.org ICANN’s mission is to help ensure a stable, secure and unified global Internet. To reach another person on the Internet, you need to type an address – a name or a number – into your computer or other device. That address must be unique so computers know where to find each other. ICANN helps coordinate and support these unique identifiers across the world.

by Glenn McKnight July 12, 2017

July 12, 2017

Hi Folks Recently Marita and Alfredo has been working on the NARALO strategic plan. I asked them to attend next month's call and provide a one slide overview of the activities, but more important is an analysis of the NA plan by Chris Mondini and how it integrates with our plans( given limited funds) If you recall Chris did a presentation on the NA plans at our GA. In advance of the next call we will do a matrix comparing the two plans plus some analysis of the other regions ie. Africa and LAC strategies. If you have any comments please do so. Thanks Glenn McKnight mcknight.glenn(a)gmail.com skype gmcknight twitter gmcknight 289-830 6259 .
