==Major Events==
===IDN===
A draft version of Guidelines for Implementation of [[IDN|Internationalized Domain Names]] (IDN) was modified and approved during ICANN 42 by the [[ICANN Board]], and subsequently implemented in November 2011.<ref>[http://www.icann.org/en/news/announcements/announcement-3-22nov11-en.htm Implementation Notice - Version 3.0 of IDN Guidelines], ICANN.org. Published 22 November 2011. Retrieved 27 November 2012.</ref><ref>[http://www.icann.org/en/resources/idn/idn-guidelines-02sep11-en.htm Guidelines for the Implementation of Internationalized Domain Names | Version 3.0], ICANN.org.</ref>
===Batching===
Popularized during ICANN 42 was "[[batching]]", the term for dividing [[new gTLD]] applications into manageable batches of 500. During a [[GNSO]] working session in Dakar, ICANN Senior Vice President [[Kurt Pritz]] announced that the date of submission during an application window will not be a factor in determining placement, meaning all applicants who filed between January 12th and April 12th would have an equal opportunity of being in any batch. ICANN did not detail how the batches would be processed, though a "charity auction" method had been ruled out and a random selection seemed preferred, if workable under proper laws.<ref>[http://domainincite.com/6618-new-gtlds-no-advantage-to-applying-early New gTLDs: no advantage to applying early], DomainIncite.com. Published 23 October 2011. Retrieved 27 November 2012.</ref> It was also stated that applicants may be able to "opt out" of the first batch if not concerned about time-to-market.<ref>[http://domainincite.com/6784-new-gtld-batching-should-brands-go-first New gTLD batching: should .brands go first?], DomainIncite.com. Published 9 November 2011. Retrieved 27 November 2012.</ref> Numerous develops ensued, see the full article on '''[[Batching]]'''.
===Trademark Clearinghouse===
In order to work through outstanding logistical issues related to the [[Trademark Clearinghouse]], ICANN announced plans for an [[IAG|Implementation Advisory Group]] to be formed in November 2011. The group will consider details related to sunrise periods, infringement notices, receipt verification, database redundancy, and technical protocols by which trademark data will be exchanged.<ref>[http://www.steptoe.com/publications-newsletter-pdf.html/pdf/?item_id=317 Intellectual Property Advisory: New gTLD Program Updates from the Dakar, Senegal ICANN Meeting], Steptoe.com. Published 1 November 2011.</ref>
===AFRALO Capacity Building Sessions===
An extension of a 2009 document outlining the capacity building needs of [[AFRALO]] to inform and educate its representatives on ICANN activities, AFRALO held a series of capacity building sessions in Dakar. More than 20 representatives from African [[ALS|At-Large Structure]]s joined the meetings, which had about 300 people in attendance. The five-day program, conducted by ICANN officers and staff, aimed to provide ALS representatives with briefs on key policies, issues, and facets of ICANN.<ref>[http://www.icann.org/en/resources/policy/update/update-jan12-en.htm#13 ICANN POLICY UPDATE | Volume 12, Issue 1 — January 2012], ICANN.org.

==Hotel Controversy==
Following ICANN 42, [[ICANN]]'s Head of Communications, [[Barbara Ann Clay]], issued a formal complaint to the management of Hotel des Almadies, Senegal's Communications Minister, [[Moustapha Guirassy]], and others. In the letter, she stated that, "The extremely poor quality of the Hotel and its services, noted in detail on the basis of our delegates' feedback, has damaged ICANN's reputation, as well as the reputation of the Hotel and Senegal."<ref>[http://news.dot-nxt.com/sites/news.dot-nxt.com/files/clay-to-guirassy-23nov11-en.pdf Formal Complaint Letter], Dot-Nxt.com. Published 23 November 2011. Retrieved 27 November 2012.</ref> The letter called for compensation for the poor experience, and was initially posted on the ICANN website until it was ultimately pulled.<ref>[http://news.dot-nxt.com/2011/11/28/icann-complaint-to-dakar-hotel Dear minister, here is the process we followed to build a complaint about our stay in a hotel in your country], Dot-Nxt.com. Published 30 November 2011. Retrieved 27 November 2012.</ref>
On November 2012, Clay wrote an apology letter to Guirassy, noting that the 20-page complaint was sent without appropriate clearance and was not an official statement from ICANN.<ref>[http://domainincite.com/6948-icann-says-sorry-for-crappy-hotel-complaint ICANN says sorry for crappy hotel complaint], DomainIncite.com.
