Dear Listers, Something interesting has been happening in the entertainment industry. I hope many of you have been or continue to be entertained online from artists who have resolved to stream their lovely ballads to us. A relief especially when you are working from home. Paul Kaindo, an advocate at the Kenya Copyright Board (KECOBO) says it is illegal to stream online and requires a special license <https://edaily.co.ke/entertainment/music-livestreams-illegal-djs-require-sp…> (Read) Now, Kenya Copyright Board (KECOBO) has a response through the issued press statement, look at part 2. To make try and reflect more on it, though not related, think of KRA moving into *Digital Services Tax.* [image: image.png] [image: image.png] *Kind Regards,* *David Indeje * +254 (0) 711 385 945 | +254 (0) 734 024 856

Listers, Might be of interest to you. Best Regards ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: ICANN At-Large Staff <staff(a)atlarge.icann.org> Date: Wed, 27 May 2020, 10:33 pm Subject: [ALAC-Announce] ***UPDATED Registration link *** Important - REGISTER - At-Large Capacity Building Webinar on Geopolitics and Cybersecurity To: ALAC Announce <alac-announce(a)atlarge-lists.icann.org> Dear All, On behalf of Joanna Kulesza and Alfredo Calderon, Co-Chairs of the Capacity Building Working Group, we would like to invite you to join the third webinar of the new *At-Large Capacity Building Program – 2020* <https://community.icann.org/x/1Ic3Ag> on the Topic of “*Geopolitics and Cybersecurity*”. The webinar is scheduled on *Monday 01 June at 21:00 UTC for 90 minutes.* For other times: *https://tinyurl.com/yb55h47f <https://tinyurl.com/yb55h47f>* French and Spanish interpretation will be provided. ****UPDATED LINK*** **Please **REGISTER **[icann.zoom.us] to receive the webinar details* <https://icann.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_Wu8e39aLTZCkgZfq1qqJqw>: https://icann.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_Wu8e39aLTZCkgZfq1qqJqw - NOTE: If you have already registered, you will need to re-register due to technical issues. Thank you! The Guest Speakers are: Léon Sánchez [icann.org] <https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.icann.org_resource…>, ICANN Board Vice Chair; Veni Markovski <https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.icann.org_profiles…>, ICANN Vice President for UN engagement and Javier Rúa-Jovet <https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__icannwiki.org_Javier-5…>, ALAC NARALO representative. Building upon the successful geopolitics and cybersecurity session during ICANN 67 [One World - One Internet? Cybersecurity and Geopolitics in a Multistakeholder Environment [67.schedule.icann.org] <https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__67.schedule.icann.org_…>], the At-Large Capacity Building Working Group is holding a follow up webinar as a run up to ICANN 68. Its aim is to follow the progress made thus far in enhancing community presence in ongoing cybersecurity and Internet governance discussions as well as get a better understating of upcoming issues and challenges. This interactive webinar will include an update on UN processes potentially impacting ICANN’s mission as well as a review of ICANN Board's progress and further plans in ensuring due representation of the ICANN community in these geopolitical trends. We hope for the webinar to be a platform for developing a better understanding of end user interests as represented in ICANN multistakeholder processes and how those fit in with global multilateral discussion in UN and beyond. Additionally, we will also try to explore whether the recent pandemic has impacted multistakeholder policy development, with particular emphasis on end user interests. During this webinar we would like to address the following questions: - What are the recent developments in international relations and policy making which might have a direct impact on ICANN, its community and its functions (with emphasis on UN OEWG and UN GGE)? Has the pandemic impacted these ongoing processes? What are the nearest prospected outcomes we should be aware of? Have multilateral and multistakeholder processes proven to be contradictory by nature or can they be aligned? - What are the nearest ICANN Board plans to address these developments and interests? How can the ICANN community best support the Board in fulfilling these? - How do we identify a common end user interest among and between these law making efforts? Are end users more than subjects to state jurisdiction - is there a shared common interest to be identified and addressed by the ICANN community? Is the collective interest of end users different from that of state citizens as represented by governments? Does multistakeholderism still offer a critical “post Westphalian” innovation allowing and fostering individual end-user’ engagement internationally, helping counterbalance state-actors’ purely geopolitical interests or are we heading back to multilateralism? The webinar will be an interactive exercise that welcomes questions and discussion from all community members. We will have an interactive quiz during the presentations and an opportunity for Q&A at the end of the presentation. Staff will end the webinar with an Evaluation Survey to allow us to continue to improve these webinars. We hope for this to be a useful point of departure for the upcoming virtual policy forum at ICANN68 (June 22nd - 25th). Thank you.

Dear Listers A4I has released its report on *Meaningful Connectivity: Unlocking the full power of internet access.* It sets minimum thresholds across four dimensions of access that matters most to users:* regular internet use, devices, data* and *speed*.
