This one-day event is your opportunity to learn about topics like:
Newspaper publisher Guardian News & Media is out of the gTLD game for good now, with ICANN saying this week that it will terminate its contract for the dot-brand, .theguardian.
It’s the 14th new gTLD registry agreement to be terminated by ICANN. All were dot-brands.
The organization has told Guardian that it started termination proceedings October 21, after the company failed to complete its required pre-delegation testing before already-extended deadlines.
An explosion on board a cargo ship set ICANN back $700,000, the organization has revealed.
The September 1 blast and subsequent fire, which we blogged about two weeks ago, cause equipment heading to ICANN 57 in Hyderabad to be detained by authorities.
The explosion, at the port in Hamburg, was reportedly caused by a welding accident and nobody was seriously hurt.
Verisign could be running a “thick” Whois database for .com, .net and .jobs by mid-2017, under a new ICANN proposal.
A timetable published this week would see the final three hold-out gTLDs fully move over to the standard thick Whois model by February 2019, with the system live by next August.
Some people believe that Verisign might use the move as an excuse to increase .com prices.
Thick Whois is where the registry stores the full Whois record, containing all registrant contact data, for every domain in their TLD.
LOS ANGELES – 27 October 2016 – The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) today published [PDF, 2.74 MB] a draft report regarding the Continuous Data-Driven Analysis of Root Server System Stability (CDAR). The study examines the technical impact of the New gTLD Program on the security and stability of the root Domain Name System (DNS).
26 октября в пресс-центре информационного агентства «Национальная Служба Новостей» состоялась пресс-конференция «Единый урок: Как обезопасить детство в интернете?»
Пресс-конференция посвящена Единому уроку безопасности школьников в интернете, который с 25 по 30 октября 2016 года в третий раз проходит во всех школах России.
LOS ANGELES - 26 October 2016 - ICANN has published updated resources for Pre-Delegation Testing (PDT). The updated resources include test cases and test plans incorporating the Consistent Labeling and Display (CL&D) requirements described in the Registry Registration Data Directory Services Consistent Labeling and Display Policy (https://www.icann.org/rdds-labeling-display).
LOS ANGELES – 26 October 2016 – The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) today published [PDF, 66 KB] a proposed plan for implementing policy recommendations regarding Thick Whois. The plan requires gTLDs currently providing thin Whois services – .COM, .NET and .JOBS – to transition to thick Whois. Comments will be accepted until 23:59 UTC on 15 December 2016.
In support of its continued commitment to accountability and transparency, ICANN today published FY16 financial results accompanied by an unqualified audit report from its independent auditors, BDO LLP. The Report of Independent Auditors and Financial Statements for ICANN for the years ending 30 June 2016 and 2015 is available on the "Financial Information for ICANN" page of www.icann.org and is also included in this announcement.
Over the past year, the Universal Acceptance Steering Group (UASG), a community-based team of industry leaders supported by ICANN, has led the effort to prepare the online community for the next billion Internet users through a process known as Universal Acceptance (UA).
I am pleased to say we have now updated our Key Performance Indicator (KPI) Dashboard to "version two." In close partnership with the community, we've further evolved and updated some of the KPIs in the Dashboard. One example of this is the recently announced Beta gTLD Marketplace Health Index [PDF, 2.4 MB]. This update is a part of our commitment to reviewing and improving all aspects of the organization's operations and how it supports the community.
Very few people realize what it actually takes to make an ICANN meeting run smoothly from the Network Operations Center backroom, where the InfoTech team orchestrates its magic with high energy. You’ve probably experienced the excellent remote capabilities to encourage diverse participation, good wifi on site, and generally, things run smoothly so you can focus on the real issues and discussions at hand. And this is a good thing.

RIW 2016 to take place in the Expocenter on Krasnaya Presnya on November 1-3
On November 1-3, the Moscow Expocenter on Krasnaya Presnya will host the Russian Interactive Week (RIW 2016) for the ninth time. Over 20,000 people are expected to attend.
Almost 50 top-level domains were believed to be exposed to the massive distributed denial-of-service attack that hit Dyn on Friday, but the largest of the bunch said it managed to stay online throughout.
As has been widely reported in the mainstream and tech media over the last few days, DNS service provider Dyn got whacked by one of the biggest pieces of DDoS vandalism in the internet’s brief history.
Top Level Spectrum has been accused today of running the gTLD .feedback in a “fraudulent and deceptive” manner.
Over a dozen famous brands, corralled by corporate registrar MarkMonitor, today formally complained to ICANN that .feedback is a “complete sham”.
They reckon that the majority of .feedback domains belong to entities connected to the registry, violate trademarks, and have been stuffed with bogus and plagiarized reviews.
