In the News

On March 1, the CENTR Board suspended the membership of the Coordination Center for TLD RU/РФ immediately.
Also on March 1, Rolling Stone reported that Ukrainian officials asked ICANN in an email to revoke domains issued in Russia and shut down primary DNS servers in the country, effectively barring access to Russian internet sites and potentially taking the entire country offline. Andrii Nabok, a Ukraine representative to the GAC, sent the request.
In response, on March 2, 2022, ICANN CEO Goran Marby denied the request, explaining that "...the Internet is a decentralized system. No one actor has the ability to control it or shut it down...Our mission does not extend to taking punitive actions, issuing sanctions, or restricting access against segments of the Internet -- regardless of the provocations."
ICANN 73, ICANN's community forum meeting, started today!
