*Join us for ICANN54 in Dublin from October 18 to 22*
*Jean-Jacques Sahel -**VP ICANN, Europe*
As I write this, the heat is increasing across much of Europe this summer.
Similarly, it also feels like the heat is on for ICANN54 in Dublin.
Advanced proposals by the ICG concerning the IANA functions stewardship
transition and the parallel CCWG Accountability promise engaging
discussions for the upcoming meeting, which many are already billing as a
key milestone in the history of the Internet.

This could indeed be the meeting, which marks approval, or at least the
firming up, for the set-up by which ICANN becomes independent, with the
Internet's global 'multistakeholder' community truly in charge of the
destiny of the Domain Name System and Associated Protocols and Numbers.

ICANN54 will also be eventful with important work ranging from covering
IDNs to privacy and proxy services, from Internet Governance to Human
Rights and Public Safety - and much, much more.

All that with the backdrop of charming glorious Dublin, one of Europe's
most successful 'mini Silicon Valleys' and home to the glorious Dubliners.

Look forward to seeing you there!

The Irish Internet community is as vibrant and varied as they come, with a
mix of multinationals and home-grown talent

. Because of our educated population and rather convenient location, many
global tech firms have made Dublin their European HQ.

When the ICANN community touches down in Dublin this October, they will be
right across the river Liffey from Dublin's tech centre, 'Silicon Docks',
which houses operations from Google, Twitter, Facebook, and, most recently,
AirBnB. This roll call of big box names shows Ireland's long-requited love
affair with all things American, though some economists worry that we spend
too much time (and money) attracting firms from abroad, and not enough
building our own native tech sector

Which brings us to Irish people in ICANN. A friend who works in the
European Commission says Irish people have never yet encountered an
international organisation they don't want to get involved in and also pull
in all their family and friends, too. From small beginnings, the number of
active ICANN community members from Ireland is growing. That includes
former Board Director Dennis Jennings, Registrar Constituency Chair Michele
Neylon of BlackNight, former staffer and GNSO NCSG Councillor; yours truly,
and rising NCUC star James Gannon. You can expect to see us and a great
Irish contingent at the Dublin meeting and yes, the national stereotypes
are pretty much all true; we will be the ones at the bar talking to anyone
and everyone, delighted to finally be hosting our life-long ICANN friends.

*SEEDIG and EuroDIG: An eventful and successful 'Bulgaria DNS week' in June*

Bulgaria became the European Internet capital this year, starting June 1
with a 'roadshow' in cities such as Varna to beat the DNS industry's drum
with the local business community.

On Wednesday 3 June, the 'premiere' of the South Eastern Europe Dialogue on
Internet Governance (SEEDIG) started with the first ever roundtable
discussions taking place just before the start of EuroDIG, which itself was
yet another success this year, with hundreds of participants, a flurry of
exciting topics and increasingly strong discussions and outcome documents.

This series of events and the formal birth of SEEDIG marked an important
anniversary: It brought us back to just 12 months before, when a handful of
ICANN 'regulars' from the region met informally during the ICANN 50 London
meeting. We've all known for a while that the SEE community in ICANN is
vibrant and full of dynamic, dedicated characters, but we all knew that
more could be done to strengthen it. So we created what started as a simple
mailing list: ICANN-SEE. It grew from an initial 10 members to close to 100
today, and has helped members exchange ideas, promote events, recruit
speakers and panelists for public meetings, events and so on. The result?
An increasingly growing number of activities, networks and contacts across
the region, with events growing larger in attendance, from Belgrade to
Bucharest, from Varna to SEEDIG in Sofia. Suffice to say, the simple
mailing list grew to so much more. Going forwards, we are excited to see
many more such activities being lined up: the first Bosnian IGF, the Domain
Name Forum reconvening in Sofia in December (see details below), and we are
already looking forward to events in Bucharest, Belgrade, Skopje and more
in 2016.

started!*

innovation, opportunity, and the business of the domain name industry.
The DomainForum
during that week, organized by Iliya Bazlyankov, Chair of the Executive
committee at CORE, gathered a panel of industry experts and other
stakeholders from the community. The event was a perfect example of the
multistakeholder nature of the DNS industry and a great opportunity to
share our expertise and interact with the vibrant and growing Internet
community from South Eastern European.


*"The importance of fostering initiatives for the local DNS industry"*
By Iliya Bazlyankov, CORE Association

*Our team has the honor of contributing to the national and regional
development of the Internet by broadening the understanding of topics like
the impact of the new gTLDs, a multilingual Internet and Internet
governance.*

*Organizing or hosting events like the ICANN-Studienkreis in 2014, EuroDIG,
DOMAINfest, Bulgarian Internet Week, SEEDIG in 2015 and the annual Domain
Forum (since 2011) is being done with the goal of presenting to the local
community highly popular topics from ICANN and other international
meetings. Additionally, they serve the purpose of introducing the community
to international specialists; and also present an opportunity for people
from the region to attend events that are usually far away and not really
accessible to them. This way, without travelling, people are able to share
their points of view and discuss in an informal and open manner the current
and emerging Internet-related issues that are relevant to them.*

*We will continue to work on more events with more international attendees,
and perhaps even one-day work on hosting an ICANN meeting! We all do our
best for the goal of having an accessible and convenient Internet for
people all over the world!*

*The Middle East Strategy two years Later*
*Africa DNS Forum*
*By Pierre Dandjinou - ICANN VP, Africa*
ICANN Receiving a thank you Award for Sponsoring the Africa DNS Forum
The third edition of the Africa DNS Forum was an absolute success,
demonstrating how this event has grown over the past three years.
Throughout the event, there was consistent attendance, and rich debates
that highlighted the potential for cooperation, that the Nairobi gathering
made possible.

The dialogue between African registrars and registries started in Durban in
2013, with the Kenyan DNS Forum moving it to yet another level as other
stakeholders in the DNS industry joined and shared their perspectives. Key
discussions on the DNS took place with reflections on costing strategies,
marketing ideas and technical solutions, in addition to touching upon a
critical area - the availability and accurateness of statistics and data
pertaining to African DNS industry. The potential for developing strategic
partnerships in this field are immense.

 ICANN, through its Africa strategy and the support of all its departments,
will continue the journey with current partners and look forward to
expanding the group of partners. Our DNS entrepreneurship centre in Cairo
is ready to proceed with capacity building workshops and events in both
technical and business areas, and we hope to launch other centers in
Sub-Saharan Africa and partner with existing incubators and accelerators to
deploy special programmes on DNS entrepreneurship for young
entrepreneurs interested
in venturing and seizing the potential of this under-utilized industry in
Africa.

*ICANN Media Briefing in Nairobi, Kenya*

We hosted a press briefing in Nairobi to discuss Africa's role in helping
shape the future of the organisation, the Internet's Domain Name System
(DNS) and the African Domain Name Market.  A key focus of the briefing was
the opportunities these changes will afford businesses, entrepreneurs and
Internet users across Africa.  The event was well attended by leading media
houses in East Africa. Pierre Dandjinou interview on CNBC Africa can be

*The DNSSEC Journey Continues to Advance In Africa*
Developing the domain name industry in Africa is an important and central
objective of the ICANN AFRICA Strategy. Focusing on the importance of
the Domain Name System Security Extensions (DNSSEC), a direct contributor
to the security of the Internet, and providing mechanisms to help
prevent DNSdata spoofing and tampering. This is how the "DNSSEC roadshow
project" was conceived. Through it, we have lead efforts to drive awareness
and understanding of the importance of the DNSSEC, as well as building
capacity toward ccTLD DNSSEC adoption in AFRICA.

*DNS today without DNSSEC is a "forgiven" system*
"Forgiven system" may sound too rude but it seems to be the reality. The
title of this blog is from a statement made by one of the participants
during a breakout session on DNSSEC during the 2015 edition of the
AfricaDNS Forum in Nairobi, Kenya.

*IANA Stewardship Transition Timeline:*
As shown by Fadi Chehadé, ICANN President and CEO, during the opening
ceremony of the ICANN53 meeting in Buenos Aires in June this year, these
are the three identified phases of the IANA Stewardship Transition.
*GDD UPDATE*


*New gTLD Case Studies*
The second batch of new gTLD case studies (.INK, .ORGANIC, .REALTOR, .XYZ)
is now available
<http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001urpbsClEPXNiDEMMIv76bG_jZ5IX51RK3pRXJhTVnIB345ntMoIAJ40GTufnkMTv5sixW0bdDyVokx3K5iu35otzYISwyZxb-tRz6Ki95_mCYYythD716jMpXwwAl8QMtdoLlYgZylVgQ8e-XwRY-YfAT4RLckvYO53aEuIauwXHfNHvMBU0CQgbP0WrjuuWtDJwA3BLjs7ienfCsTuXtCTM8BcJpRQgLHjQFszZvh8=&c=YsrO_QVeYJRUlk0XzXM1psi-Wg3Cxp1tvJAe76yuo8exZD7KnwOW1w==&ch=pQaA1G9SdU2bJI4T28UMni_EjLobzpT9dOz1qPYgHDSOSzfMyPNJSA==>.
This is part of ICANN's global efforts to raise awareness of and interest
in new gTLDs. These case studies tell the story of a TLD, including its
background and business objectives. They are intended for use as
educational resources. We will continue to publish new case studies on this
webpage on an on-going basis. All registries are invited to partner with us
to develop case studies.

*Resolving the Release of Two-Character ASCII Labels with Comments*
Since ICANN launched the Authorization Process for the Release of
Two-Character ASCII Labels, over 249,000 letter/letter two-character
domains have been authorized across approximately 560 new generic top-level
domains, and the numbers are growing weekly. However, approximately 3
percent of requested labels have not yet been authorized for release due to
concerns expressed by governments.  In mid-August, ICANN published a draft
process to fully consider comments received and evaluate the labels that
have been withheld thus far. Learn more
