<span class="mobilefont">
While revisiting the beginning of Fadi's time with ICANN, we were particular inspired by his speech at ICANN 44 in Prague, before he even took on his role as President and CEO of ICANN, he understood to importance of making ICANN an environment suitable for engagement and progress. During this speech, he said that, '''"ICANN must become an oasis, a place that people see and come to because it works, because it makes sense, because it is efficient."''' On this note, it seems fitting that his final meeting is taking place in Morocco, home to a chunk of the Sahara Desert and numerous oases. We wanted to pay tribute to Fadi's time at ICANN with a mural that summarizes the work he has accomplished and all that he has done to make ICANN more of an oasis.</span>

<div class="mobiletext">
On September 22, 2012, Fadi Chehade stepped into the role of President and CEO of ICANN, ushering in a “new season”  of engagement, understanding, and cooperation for an organization facing the criticism of  being too US-Centric. His diverse background and diplomatic prowess made him the perfect candidate to accomplish the ambitious goals of creating a truly global and operationally excellent ICANN. From the first time that Fadi addressed the multistakeholder community at ICANN 44 in Prague, he has emphasized that ICANN must not become a fortress, but rather an oasis.
From his introduction in ICANN 44 in Prague up to  his final meeting at ICANN 55 in Marrakech, Fadi has been dedicated to promoting ICANN’s bottom-up, multistakeholder process. Fadi has  played a critical role in some of the most crucial years in ICANN’s history. He stepped into his role  in the early stages of the New gTLD Program, emphasizing operational excellence in the implementation this historical change to the Domain Name System. Under his tenure, also came the announcement that the U.S. Government intended to transition stewardship of the IANA Functions to the global multistakeholder community, nearing the culmination of the process dating back to the creation of ICANN in 1998. Needless to say, Fadi has been instrumental in some of ICANN’s most important  moments,  but arguably  his most important contribution was transforming  ICANN into a truly global organization and strengthening the multistakeholder model across the diverse spectrum of the ICANN community.
Fadi’s diplomatic strengths enabled him to engage the entire Internet community in a meaningful way, extending outreach to everyone from the individual Internet user to global leaders  involved in a variety of Internet governance fora, including the IGF and the UN’s ITU. This leadership and outreach resulted in ICANN being invited to an ITU meeting for the first time. The strengthened relationships with organization like the ITU  indicated a  “new season of cooperation” among organizations perceived to be engaged in turf wars over Internet governance for years.


In addition to working with major organizations within the IG sphere, Fadi stressed the importance of  engaging the global stakeholder community, making ICANN into more of the global entity that it was always meant to be. He helped “bring ICANN to the world, rather than asking the world to come to ICANN.” Within his first year, ICANN opened hubs in Singapore and Istanbul, and appointed four new VPs of Global Stakeholder Engagement to improve the international presence and participation in the regions of Africa, Asia, Eastern Europe and the Middle East.
<div class="icannwiki-clearfix"></div>


To further engage and empower the global multistakeholder community the NextGen@ICANN program was created and the existing ICANN Fellowship Program was expanded from approximately 25 to 50 fellows per conference. These programs enable participants from developing countries to attend ICANN meetings and fully participate in the ICANN process, helping to bring a more diverse set of stakeholders to the decision making table.
<div class="icannwiki-section-header"><span class="header-fx">Current Focus</span></div>
 
<div class="icannwiki-colored-box icannwiki-justified">
With the help of a fantastic staff and executive team, Fadi has changed ICANN for the better, shifting the decision making process better reflect the all of the global stakeholders. Fadi’s dedication to globalising ICANN was even evident in the small things, like answering a question at the public forum in the Arabic. He brought an awareness to the diversity of ICANN’s stakeholders that ICANN had previously been missing  and ultimately made it more of an oasis and less of a fortress.

<br /><div class="mobilefont">
In March 2014, the [[NTIA|US Department of Commerce’s National Telecommunications and Information Administration]] announced its intention to transition the  oversight role of the [[IANA]] Functions to the global multistakeholder community on 30 September 2015 (later extended to 30 September 2016). The announcement asked ICANN to initiate a multistakeholder process to develop a proposal to be submitted to the NTIA for approval. The proposal requires broad support and follows the following principles:
*Support and enhance the multistakeholder model
*Maintain the security, stability, and resiliency of the Internet [[DNS]]
*Meet the needs and expectations of the global customers and partners of the IANA services
*Maintain the openness of the Internet


In response, [[ICANN]] formed the [[IANA Stewardship Transition Coordination Group]] (ICG), made up of 30 members from 13 constituencies, to develop the structure and timeline for finalising the proposal, which requires proposals from the communities directly affected by the IANA functions. Each of these communities developed their own working groups to develop their proposal:
<div class="icannwiki-section-header"><span class="header-fx">Where to start</span></div>
*The Numbering Resources Community, comprised of the [[Numbers Resources Organization]] (NRO), the [[Address Supporting Organization]] (ASO) and the five [[RIR|Regional Internet Registries]] (RIR) formed the Consolidated RIR IANA Stewardship Proposal Team (CRISP Team) to develop their proposal.
<div class="icannwiki-colored-box icannwiki-justified">
*The Protocol Parameters community, comprised of the [[IETF|Internet Engineering Task Force]] (IETF) and the [[IAB|Internet Architecture Board]] (IAB), formed the IANAPLAN Working Goup.
{{Template:WhereToStart}}
*The Domain Names community, developed two working groups the CWG-Stewardship and the CCWG-Accountability.
 
On 29 October 2015, the ICG announced that it had finalised all of the proposals from the community, except for the one from the CCWG-Accountability, which is currently in its final stages. If everything proceeds as planned the community will submit the final proposal to take over stewardship of the IANA functions on 10 March 2016, the last day of ICANN 55.
</div></div></div>
 
<h2 class="sectionheader2"><span style="margin:25px 0 0 15px">Enhancing ICANN Accountability</span></h2>
<div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed">
<div class="primerbreak"></div>
<div class=" mw-collapsible-content primertextbox mobilefont">
During initial discussions relating to the IANA Stewardship Transition, the ICANN community raised concerns about the impact that the transition would have on ICANN Accountability. In response, the Enhancing ICANN Accountability process was launched to develop a proposal, seeking to implement accountability measures that will hold ICANN accountable to the global stakeholder community in the absence of the “accountability backstop” provided by the historical contractual relationship with the U.S. Government. This proposal is the final piece of the IANA Transition puzzle and when submitted to the ICG will complete the proposal that the U.S. government asked for two years ago, in March 2014.
 
In December 2014, the CCWG-Accountability began working on the proposal to enhance [[ICANN Accountability]]. The process was divided into two Work Streams. Work Stream 1 is focused on accountability mechanisms that need to be in place prior to the transition. Work Stream 2 is focused on accountability measures that can be implemented post-transition. The CCWG identified four “building blocks” for the mechanisms that need to be in place pre-transition:
Principles that form the Mission and Core Values of ICANN;
Empowered Community;
[[ICANN Board|ICANN Board of Directors]];
Independent appeal mechanism;
 
After several iterations, the CCWG released its third draft proposal on 30 November 2015, which was the culmination of two prior draft proposals and almost a year of hard work. This third proposal set forth twelve recommendation for the accountability measures needed to enhance ICANN accountability.
 
The key elements of the third proposal include:
Revised Mission statement for [[ICANN Bylaws]], that clarifies what ICANN does but does change the scope of its mission of coordinating the Internet’s unique identifiers for the Internet.
Enhanced [[IRP|Independent Review Process]] to ensure that ICANN stays within its mission.
New community powers to be used to hold the Board of Directors Accountable.
 
Enforceability of the accountability measures will be supported by the creation of an “Empowered Community,” which will be granted the legal status of a Designator within ICANN and is designed to act on behalf of the ICANN stakeholder groups when they are required to exercise their community powers. The CCWG has stressed that the new community powers are only to be utilized after all other means are exhausted. The community is to follow the model of engagement, escalation, enforcement.
 
After this proposal went through the public comment period ending on 21 December 2015  and the staff report was released on 7 January 2016 , the CCWG determined that there were only a few outstanding issues that needed to be addressed to reach consensus on a final proposal and planned a rigorous schedule of conference calls over the next few weeks to reach a consensus on a final supplemental report on Work Stream 1 recommendations.
 
On 23 February 2016, after the necessary changes had been made the CCWG released the supplemental final proposal in time for the Chartering Organizations to deliberate prior to ICANN 55. If it is approved by all of the organizations, the proposal will be ready to submit to the ICANN Board, which will then be able to send the a complete proposal to the [[NTIA]].

<h2 class="sectionheader2"><span style="margin:25px 0 0 15px">Next-Gen RDS</span></h2>
<div class=" mw-collapsible mw-collapsed">
<div class="primerbreak"></div>
<div class="mw-collapsible-content primertextbox mobilefont">
[[Whois]] was created in the 1980s as a service to identify network operators on the Internet. Since this time, the Internet has changed far beyond expectations, evolving from a research network into a global commercial network that is integrated into everyday life. The usage of Whois has changed along with the evolution of the Internet, but the protocol has changed very little.
 
Consequently, the Whois protocol as it exists today has several deficiencies that are becoming increasingly apparent to the community. Some of the pressing issues include:
*data accuracy and reliability
*accessibility for users whose local language cannot be represented in ASCII
*data protection and privacy concerns
 
Despite a series of task forces, working groups, workshops, surveys and studies over the last 15 years, the various issues with Whois policy and protocol still need to be addressed. The entire community of stakeholders are affected by Whois, bringing a wide variety of diverse concerns and interests to the table for discussion.
 
In 2010, ICANN formed the WHOIS Review Team, guided by the Affirmation of Commitments to review the are effectiveness of ICANN’s Whois policy and implementation, as well as if it meet the needs of the law enforcement community and promotes consumer trust. In response to the Review Team’s Final Report (2012), the ICANN Board passed a resolution to launch the Expert Working Group on gTLD Registration Directory Services (EWG) to “redefine the purpose of collecting, maintaining and providing access to gTLD registration data, and consider safeguards for protecting data” and to propose a new model for Registry Directory Services (RDS) that addresses the issues outlined above. Additionally, the Board’s resolution called for a GNSO Policy Development Process, to be informed by and address the issues in the EWG’s Final Report.
 
The EWG released its final report in 2014, initiating the process of structuring the [[GNSO-RD-PDP-WG|Next-Generation gTLD Registration Directory Service to replace Whois PDP WG]] (Next-Gen RDS PDP WG). The PDP will be a three step process:
*Establish gTLD registration data requirements to determine if and why a next-gen RDS is needed.
*Design policies that detail functions that must be in place to support those requirements.
*Provide guidance for how the next-gen RDS should implement those policies, including coexisting with and replacing Whois.
 
The process is currently in Phase One, in which the Next-Gen PDP WG aims to reach consensus recommendations, through analysis of several key questions, relating to the uses/purposes of RDS, who should have access to the data, data accuracy, privacy, steps for replacing WHOIS and other important issues.
 
Running parallel to this process, is the Public Comment period on the Registration Data Access Protocol (RDAP) Operational Profile for gTLD Registries and Registrars, which is a likely candidate to eventually replace WHOIS. The RDAP was developed by the [[IETF]]’s Web Extensible Internet Registration Data Services (WEIRDS) WG. Some major improvements that come with the RDAP include a standardized data model, internationalization for non-ASCII languages, and differentiated access.
 
As these processes develop, the outdated WHOIS Policy and Protocol will receive an overdue update, making improvements on the issues of accuracy, privacy and access. The Next-Gen PDP WG will hold their first face-to-face meeting at ICANN 55 to work toward their phase one goals.

<h2 class="sectionheader2"><span style="margin:25px 0 0 15px">Universal Acceptance</span></h2>
<div class=" mw-collapsible mw-collapsed">
<div class="primerbreak"></div>
<div class="mw-collapsible-content primertextbox mobilefont">
Universal Acceptance is the state in which all valid domains names are useable in all Internet enabled applications, devices, and systems regardless of length, script, or newness to the DNS.
 
The issue of [[Universal Acceptance]] has been present since the 2000 gTLD expansion round, but has been exacerbated by the introduction of IDN’s and ICANN’s new gTLD Program, which has introduced over 900 new TLDs to the DNS root zone.
 
Prior to the early 2000s, developers of user interfaces and security rules made certain assumptions about TLDs:
*Valid TLDs include, three letter TLDs, such as [[.com]], [[.org]], [[.gov]], etc and [[ccTLD|ccTLDs]], based on the ISO 3122 two letter codes
*TLDs and email addresses contained only ASCII
*The [[Root Zone]] is relatively static, with few changes made
 
In the early 2000s, the [[gTLD]] expansion made assumption of TLD length obsolete. TLD lengths became even more varied with the implementation of ICANN’s new gTLD Program. Also in 2010, the first IDN was introduced, which broke the assumption that ASCII is the only valid character set, introducing UTF-8. The final assumption was then broken by the new gTLD Program, which made the root zone much more dynamic, with new TLDs and IDNs being added every week.
 
Universal Acceptance is currently being addressed by the community through several initiatives, including the Universal Acceptance Steering Group (UASG), chartered in March 2015. The UASG’s primary objective is to help developers and website owners understand how to update their systems to treat all TLDs consistently, which will enable more customer choice, faith in the DNS and allow users of [[IDN|IDNs]] to fully utilize the Internet.
 
The UASG and ICANN launched a Universal Acceptance study for new gTLDs and reported the results in September 2015. The study and report: An Analysis of New gTLD Universal Acceptance, found that there were no problems with Universal Acceptance on the  infrastructure level and that non-IDNs performed strongly across the board. However, IDNs still require some changes to software and systems to be reach full usability. Particularly complex and interesting issues arise in regard to scripts that run from right to left.
 
Usability of TLDs and IDNs requires five criteria outlined above in the UASG’s definition of Universal Acceptance:
Acceptance - Web applications and services that take domain names and email addresses as inputs should accept all valid extensions.
Validation - obsolete techniques and criteria used to validate domain names and email addresses should be updated
Storing - Applications and services require storage of domain names and email addresses, should be stored in RFC-defined  or other compatible formats.
Processing - Domain names or email addresses should be able to be processed in programs or features without issues.
Displaying - Domain names and email strings should be properly displayed to users. This includes displaying the address in the proper script, without displaying the punycode text.
 
The work on Universal Acceptance will not be complete until  “all valid domain names and email addresses are accepted, validated, stored, processed, and displayed correctly and consistently by all Internet-enabled applications, devices and systems.” At ICANN 55, the UASG will be holding an all day workshop for participants to develop solutions to the issues.

ICANNWiki is a not-for-profit organization supporting the collaborative development of articles about ICANN and Internet Governance-related topics, currently featuring 8,705 entries. It aims to provide neutral information that takes all perspectives into consideration. Want to help? Request an account today! ICANNWiki is independent of ICANN. Any donations made to us are used only to maintain this platform.

Current Focus

Our focus this season is: ccTLDs. Our community is working together on surfacing information about these stakeholders, including going over documents, blog posts, Working Groups (including the already great article on Working Groups!), and all other relevant information.

Where to start

Getting started is as simple as requesting an account, which will be approved as long as it does not appear to be intended for spam or malice. Then, make sure to read our short content guide to get a feel for what belongs in the wiki. You may also want to have a look at some data source suggestions on where to find reliable data. That's it, happy editing!
