* On February 24, [[ICANN 73]] Prep Week [https://www.icann.org/en/announcements/details/icann73-prep-week-schedule-now-available-7-2-2022-en concluded]. Sessions were dedicated to giving updates on [[IDN]]s, [[Universal Acceptance]] readiness, progress on the implementation of recommendations from the [[Second NomCom Organizational Review]], [[Contractual Compliance]], and the next stages of [[ICANN Organization]]'s [[Prioritization Framework|prioritization]] efforts.

* On February 28, [[Elliot Silver]] reported that [[NameCheap]] stopped taking payments from Russia for its products and services and allowed no new Russian customers to buy from them; told its existing Russian customers to remove their services from their platform by March 6, 2022; stopped selling Russian and Belarusian TLDs; and blocked Russian IP addresses from accessing the company’s website. CEO [[Richard Kirkendall]] [https://twitter.com/NamecheapCEO/status/1497665532081889287 explained that this Russian service termination was in response] to the "Russian regime's war crimes and human rights violations in Ukraine."

* Also on February 28, [[ICANN]] announced that it would install and operate two new ICANN Managed Root Server (IMRS) clusters in Africa, one of which will be in Kenya. It is ICANN's first-of-this-kind investment in Africa. The clusters will ensure that Internet queries from Africa can be answered within the region and not have to depend on networks and servers in other parts of the world, thus reducing latency and improving user experience. The clusters will also reduce the impact of potential [[DDoS Attack]]s by relying on separate locations and providing higher bandwidth and data processing capacity.
