[UA-discuss] 2022/3 African DNS Study and Webinar

[Mark Elkins]

If you live in Africa - this Webinar will be of interest to you. There 
is a page in the Webinar on Universal Acceptance and access to 
information on numbers of IDN Names in Africa (unfortunately very low). 
The numbers from the Observatory include IDN, DNSSEC and IPv6 and if 
that countries Zone is sharing their data, one can see the growth in 
these numbers on a monthly basis.

-------------------------------------

Back in 2016, ICANN commissioned the DNS Study of Africa. Many community 
members were key to this research output and its publication. Well, this 
Study has been repeated.

As part of the Coalition for Digital Africa 
(https://coalitionfordigitalafrica.africa/), ICANN and partners were 
keen to assess the evolving DNS market and economic trends in Africa 
that describes and quantifies the overall potential of the domain name 
industry in the region.

We have prepared a draft report and we would love to have the 
community’s and your input on the draft final report of the 2023 Africa 
Domain Name Industry Study here 
(https://www.icann.org/en/public-comment/proceeding/draft-final-report-of-the-2023-africa-domain-name-industry-study-21-12-2023)
The report is currently open for public comment until the 8th February 
2024 when it will then be closed for submissions.

Linked to this, on Tuesday the 23rd January 2024 at 14:00 - 15:30 UTC 
(90 minutes) ICANN will host a webinar on the report to feature a 
comprehensive agenda that delves into key aspects of the Africa Domain 
Name Industry Study, including an in-depth presentation of the draft 
final report. We encourage you to register for this at 
https://icann.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_xC4Sue1lR0-WW6KRa0VsxQ#/registration

It's a great opportunity to learn, appreciate and contribute to the DNS 
ecosystem in Africa.

Please join us for the Webinar!
