[Wanted] Hybrid executives to drive growth in modern enterprise
by Mbugua Njihia 25 May '15

25 May '15

Information technology is no longer a department but a function that must be embedded in the very fabric of the corporate entity. This calls for a new breed of executive, a hybrid of sorts with deep competency key for certain business critical operations but sufficiently empowered to understand the place, pricing and models that are part of any technology based deployment that they are sure to interact with in the course of their tenure - http://www.mbuguanjihia.com/business/wanted-hybrid-executives-to-drive-grow… ᐧ

ICANN cross community groups (CWG-Stewardship <http://icann.us3.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=818d573897ed5ea25ee71ebc1&i…>) (CCWG-Accountability <http://icann.us3.list-manage.com/track/click?u=818d573897ed5ea25ee71ebc1&id…>) held face-to-face meetings in Istanbul, Turkey towards the end of March. A reception was held for ICANN Community members and the Turkish stakeholder community to raise awareness about these important issues. *Internet Week in Turkey, 6-19 April 2015 * This was quite the informative week! One of the highlights was the Chairman of Turkey’s Internet Improvement Board and some of its members paying a visit to the ICANN offices and presenting to the staff the Board’s work and strategy on encouraging the use of the Internet across Turkey. Another key event during this week was the ISOC Turkey conference where key topics were discussed, such as how globally, the digital economy is soaring past the offline economy; leading to countries assess how best to ensure their nation’s policies are capable of supporting the Internet growth in their countries to fully take advantage of the economic benefits. Specific to Turkey, was how Internet users have grown substantially to nearly 40 million subscribers today with mobile Internet users leading the way. This is particularly noteworthy, when one considers the Turkish Presidency of the Group of 20 is also focusing on inclusive and robust growth strategies, and the digital economy can play an important role to support job creation and trade. Finally, Internet Week in Turkey reminded us that the Internet has prospered tremendously due to the multistakeholder model, were diverse stakeholder groups, such as governments, businesses, academics, private users and others can convene to determine what the future of the Internet will look like. For it is only by working together, that we can ensure the Internet will continue to grow and provide tangible, positive effects for users in Turkey and those around the world. *WSIS Project Prizes 2015 Nomination* Happy to announce two ICANN projects, the *DNS Entrepreneurship Centre* and *Investigating DNS Abuse/Misuse for Public Safety Community* were nominated for the Online Voting Phase of the WSIS Project Prizes 2015 contest. Information on the nominated projects can be found here <http://icann.us3.list-manage.com/track/click?u=818d573897ed5ea25ee71ebc1&id…> . Europe IANA Information Sessions In late January on the back of the transition CWG Stewardship meeting in Frankfurt, we held information sessions in Brussels with business associations, American Chamber of Commerce to the European Union (AmCham EU), Digital Europe and CCIA, as well as with the Permanent Representatives of Governments to the EU. During the same period, with the participation of stakeholders involved in the transition, we also organised an in-person workshop in Brussels coupled with a webinar aimed at the civil society community. After the ICANN Meeting in Singapore, we continued with a series of outreach events. Although some of them were around the transition of IANA functions, such as our joint session with AFNIC in Paris on 12 March, we also intervened on general Internet Governance and ICANN aspects, with for instance a keynote talk by Jean-Jacques Sahel at Dublin’s Institute of International and European Affairs on 24 February (an early occasion to promote ICANN54 to the local community!) and a panel at the annual Brussels Forum of the International Institute of Communications, together with the likes of ISOC and the European Commission. We were also involved as co-organizers and speakers in a number of events covering more technical or economic matters, from a meeting on the DNS organized with the local community and Parliament in Bucharest to gTLD discussions in Portugal and Spain. BCG Updated Report launch in Barcelona On the 3rd March, ICANN and Boston Consulting Group launched <http://icann.us3.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=818d573897ed5ea25ee71ebc1&i…> the updated Report *“Which Wheels to Grease? Reducing Friction in the Internet Economy” *at a Breakfast event on the fringes of the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, with attendees from the government, businesses and Internet Community. The update furthers the objectives of the report commissioned by ICANN last year <http://icann.us3.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=818d573897ed5ea25ee71ebc1&i…> by looking at major causes of e-friction and how countries can learn from those that face similar challenges but have managed to move up the e-friction ladder by addressing the most significant impediments. The BCG Report helps to emphasize the opportunities for advancement that come from making the most of the ever expanding, globally interoperable Internet, which is good for individuals, business and national economies. As part of the our EMEA strategy, we work on holding roundtable discussions in individual countries of the EMEA, to enable dialogue between the various stakeholders to discuss the issues highlighted in the report. Serbian Internet Domain Days – (DIDS) *Left to Right:** Martin Boyle, Jean-Jacques Sahel, Leonod Todrov in the ‘Masters of the Internet’ panel* One of the most impressive events we have been involved with in this quarter was the Serbian Domain Days (DIDS). Now in its fifth year, DIDS is run by the Serbian ccTLD registry RNIDS for two days, covering a huge range of topics, from an overview of Internet Governance and the IANA functions transition, to IDNs and the growth of the local e-commerce sector, and many more. RNIDS received over 500 requests for attendance, and so the room was packed on the day, and over 3000 people online watched our live stream! The enthusiasm of the audience was palpable –a testimony both to RNIDS’ excellent organization, and to this region’s dynamism and taste for the Internet. We will be witnessing more of this heartening passion for our Internet early June in Sofia at *EuroDIG* <http://icann.us3.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=818d573897ed5ea25ee71ebc1&i…> and the first *South Eastern Europe [SEE]* Roundtable on Internet Governance, one of the first major initiations by the new *‘ICANN SEE’. *The group was created over the summer of 2014, and continues to grow almost daily bringing together various players in the Internet community from across the SEE region. You will read more below about DIDS in a guest blog by one of ICANN-SEE’s most active members, and chair of RNDIS, Dusan Stojicevic. *By Jean-Jacques Sahel, VP Europe* Guest Blog *Positive Outcomes from the SEE region* *by Dušan Stojičević @DusanStojicevic. RNIDS - @rnids* *Belgrade, Serbia* *Days of Internet Domains in Serbia (DIDS 2015)* Held in the Serbian capital Belgrade on March 10.-11, was an event supported by ICANN <http://icann.us3.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=818d573897ed5ea25ee71ebc1&i…>, as well as a EuroDIG <http://icann.us3.list-manage.com/track/click?u=818d573897ed5ea25ee71ebc1&id…> kick off event. Was it a successful event in Belgrade? With around 300 participants, and more remotely, I leave you to be the judge: {videos from all three sessions from the first day} - http://www.livetv.rs/Video/12417/Prvi-blok-konferencije-DIDS-2015.shtml - http://www.livetv.rs/Video/12417/Drugi-blok-konferencije-DIDS-2015.shtml - http://www.livetv.rs/Video/12419/Treci-blok-konferencije-DIDS-2015.shtml *Regional Internet Forum (RIF)* Held on 11th March, and as part of the DIDS conference, the RIF was *a resounding success, *with three round tables covering regional activities in the Internet arena, IDNs, and the application of the Multistakeholder model in the administration of Internet organisations in the region. Leonid Todorov was the special guest talking about the RIGF experience ( http://rigf.ru/en/) with similar topics on the agenda as RIF. The three workshops organized had around 30 participants; 7 countries from the SEE region - Montenegro, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Slovenia, Bulgaria, Romania, Serbia and participation from the EuroDIG and ICANN. >From the first day, the discussion on IDNs was the hot topic of interest. The overall experience was very interesting – no major issues, yet the majority think that this is a hot topic. So, the real question from this round table was - why is that? Is it culture or something else? The multistakeholder process provided a heated discussion for the end of the day, with queries on the practicality of implementation to representativeness, accountability and how to safeguard the use of the multistakeholder model. *Bucharest, Romania* Held on the 13th March 2015, the *Workshop on domain names and the Internet. What does the future behold?* Was quite interesting. Organized in two sessions, first one was covering New gTLD world, and second was about MS model. First session covered topics like IDN, successful business cases... But second was a killer: it was open dialogue on Romanian problems when it comes to organization model and policies in Romanian ccTLD registry. It felt like things are finally being discussed out in the open. >From my point of view, this was a fruitful event, with good discussions and plenty raised domestic questions. It was very concrete, and you can find here the agenda of this event: http://www.apti.ro/workshop-nume-de-domenii-si-Internet I would like to say that it was my pleasure to be in Bucharest and to be one of the panelists on this very useful workshop. International Communications Data and Digital Forensics (ICDDF) March 17-21 ICANN’s Dave Piscitello and John Crain participated in the International Communications Data and Digital Forensics (ICDDF) <http://icann.us3.list-manage2.com/track/click?u=818d573897ed5ea25ee71ebc1&i…> in London (16-20 March 2015), an annual event attended by ~3000 UK Home Office, police, secret services, IT and ICT suppliers. Both provided four days of capability training programs on investigating DNS abuse, Dave gave an invited talk on DNS and Identifier Systems Security, Stability and Resiliency, and both John and Dave attended side meetings with UK ministry and services to discuss opportunities for future engagement and capability building. *“Very animated crew. These folks are among the most appreciative students I’ve had the pleasure of training.” - Dave Piscitello* A European week in the life of the ICANN CEO spreading the awareness: 13-17 April 15 *By Jean-Jacques Sahel, VP Europe * Fadi left LAX to reach Rome on the evening of April 13th. He woke up to interviews with *Wired* and others, before heading off to meet with Mr Giacomelli, Italian Minister in charge of digital affairs. Together they opened a special event hosted at the Italian Parliament on Internet Governance and the IANA stewardship transition. Immediately after, Fadi was off to Paris. After a short night’s sleep, he started again with some strong coffee, more interviews, and some stakeholder meetings. All this before giving a keynote lecture at IFRI, the French Institute of International Affairs, to discuss in particular the multi-stakeholder model of governance – and how it could possibly be a useful concept to implement in other spheres of international relations, beyond the Internet. Then we dashed off on the Paris Metro to catch the last fast train to the Netherlands for the annual Global Conference on Cyber Space in the Hague. The kick off panel for the conference had Fadi share the stage with Vint Cerf, Nnenna Nwakanma of WWW Foundation, the Dutch Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs, amongst others. Over 1000 people from across continents and governments, business, the technical community, academia and civil society discussed the ‘cyber’ issues of the day, including Internet Governance and its evolution. After another panel and a dozen or more bilateral meetings with stakeholders, it was off to the airport again for Fadi. Another normal ‘week in the office’ for ICANN’s CEO.

More on the details of the event http://amman2015.mednsf.org/en/ <http://icann.us3.list-manage2.com/track/click?u=818d573897ed5ea25ee71ebc1&i…> ICANN in Pakistan Our outreach efforts this year began in Islamabad, Pakistan where we joined APNIC and ISOC and participated in a workshop organized by the Ministry of Information Technology and Telecommunication on Internet Governance and roles of stakeholders. This was our first trip and we conducted a successful initial series of meetings and roundtables with government officials, industry leaders, academic and technical community. *By* *Baher Esmat, VP Middle East* DNS Entrepreneurship Center Workshops Kick Off The DNS Entrepreneurship Center launched its activities on March 29th with two successful workshops on DNS Business Development and Registry Best Practices. The two workshops were held in Cairo, Egypt, in partnership with the National Telecommunication Regulatory Authority, the Information Technology Institute, EnCirca and EURid. The two workshops were designed to help participants better understand the fundamentals of how to run registries and registrars, as well as the potential business opportunities in this industry. Africa Successful Africa Sessions #ICANN 52 First and foremost, we would like to start by congratulating you all, colleagues and community, for a very successful meeting in Singapore. It was your strong support and resilience that enabled us put up two very successful sessions during ICANN 52, a meeting that had over 300 meetings scheduled! The attendance and level of participation witnessed was very impressive. Indeed, day one was a full house (Fig 1) and we still managed to attract over 35 participants on day two during the “*The Road to Marrakesh* <http://icann.us3.list-manage.com/track/click?u=818d573897ed5ea25ee71ebc1&id…>” Session. Whether you joined us in-situ or remotely, please receive our sincere appreciation. Engagement Mission in Rabat, Morocco Fadi Chehade and Pierre Dandjanou visited Rabat in early March, as part of the ongoing engagement enhancement in Africa aimed at strengthening African engagement in preparation for the Marrakech meeting, ICANN 55, next year. Fadi was invited to speak to students of the Moroccan Academy of Diplomatic Studies on "the future of Internet governance in the world"; as well as to the National Institute of Post and Telecommunications on "ICANN and the Internet Governance". Outreach Dakar, Senegal On March 5th, Pierre Dandjinou, VP Africa, gave a public conference, with over 50 participants, on the transition of the IANA functions in Dakar, Senegal. Mouhamet Diop, a former ICANN Board member and Fatimata Sylla Seye, former chair of AFRALO and currently a member of the NomCom, chaired the conference. Mamadou Lo, one of our Senegalese ICANN fellows took care of communication and overall organization. The conference was a success with two main outcomes; the formation of a steering group to organize a national forum on the transition of the IANA functions and ICANN's accountability and Senegal’s commitment to increase outreach amongst local stakeholders on the issue and hopefully contribute to the ICG Proposal on the transition before June 2015. DNSSEC Roadshow events in Cote d’Ivoire and Congo Three days workshops were organized respectively in Abidjan (Cote d’Ivoire from February 24-26, 2015) and Brazzaville (Congo from March 11-13, 2015). Our lead consultant, Alain Aina, conducted both workshops with the following format: - Day 1: General awareness on DNSSEC - Day 2: Technical workshop with hands- on sessions - Day 3: Working session and assessment with the ccTLD Pierre gave a remote update on IANA Stewardship transition and ICANN accountability process. More information on the Roadshow events at www.dnssec-africa.org <http://icann.us3.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=818d573897ed5ea25ee71ebc1&i…> APRIL: AFRICA’s Month on the IANA Stewardship Transition & Enhancing ICANN Accountability *By Pierre Dandjinou, VP Africa* It has been one year since the National Telecommunications & Information Administration’s (NTIA) announcement <http://icann.us3.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=818d573897ed5ea25ee71ebc1&i…> that tasked ICANN to convene an inclusive and global discussion to determine a process for transitioning the stewardship of IANA functions to the global multistakeholder community. Indeed since then, the global community has worked tirelessly and with great resilience and determination to ensure a successful and sustainable transition. As a neutral convener of the dialogue, ICANN has an important responsibility of raising awareness about the processes as they evolve and to support the community's engagement, working hard to ensure the Internet’s diverse stakeholders have a voice shaping the new oversight structure. That said there is concern in the low level of meaningful participation witnessed so far from Africa. In 2014, ICANN participated in 11 events and five webinars/ teleconferences to raise awareness on this issue in Africa. >From the response we have garnered so far, we find that a lot of groundwork still needs to be done to further stimulate the African community to participate more effectively in the process. It is based on this background and analysis that the ICANN Africa team resolved to launch an *IANA Stewardship Transition & Enhancing ICANN Accountability* revival month in April 2015. To achieve this, we are aiming to organize 1-2 hour webinars and teleconferences or face-to-face meetings in various countries in Africa at different times and dates led by local community leaders and stakeholders in the Internet ecosystem at the National level. ICANN staff will be available to support and reinforce the meetings either by contributing on presentations or online meeting resources as appropriate. We look forward to your involvement and working together in this crucial junction. Interested in the IANA Stewardship Transition?

Eastern Europe, Russia And Central Asia *Update by Michael Yakushev, VP * Two main events on the Internet Governance were held in the Eastern Europe/Central Asian region at the beginning of this year, with the participation and support of ICANN and its experts. Kiev, Ukraine -Round Table on ‘Reforming ICANN and changing Internet Governance ecosystem: what it means for Ukraine’ - January 28th The event was organized by the local TLD community and government agency on Innovation and E-government. Among 60+ participants present were heads of the government agencies on E-government, Special Communications and Information, and on Intellectual Property. The Ukrainian GAC member Alexander Tsaruk moderated the Round table. Participants discussed the hottest topics of the global Internet Governance, including IANA stewardship transition, NETmundial Initiative, WSIS process, global IGFs and the role if ICANN, as well as the role of the local stakeholders in each of the developing processes. Big interest was also expressed on ICANN’s interaction with UN agencies, ITU and WIPO, and to the UDRP experience that can be used for Ukrainian domains. Overall the Roundtable discussions confirmed the adherence of all Ukrainian participants to the multi-stakeholders model, and their interest to the EU/CoE position on the Internet Governance. Moscow, Russia -Workshop on ‘Internet Governance in Year 2015’ - March 18th The organizers of the Workshop (the Diplomatic Academy of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the Center for Political Studies in Russia) invited 40+ experts from different federal institutions, think tanks, Internet business community, academia and mass media. The discussion was very open and frank, and allowed stakeholders to present their position on the current issues on Internet governance. The government bodies (Foreign Ministry and ICT Ministry) stressed the importance of BRICS and Shanghai Cooperation Organization, as well as WSIS process, for discussing Internet Governance matters. The IANA Stewardship transition was cited as one of the most important projects that should be successfully implemented by the end of this year. All participants confirmed that the accountability and transparency of ICANN is of great importance for the success of the Transition process. Moreover, some experts confirmed, to understanding and acknowledging the fact that though ICANN is a technical and not a political organization, it has become a real opinion-leader on many items on the agenda of Internet Governance. Moscow, Russia -Russian Internet Governance Forum– April 7th The 6th Russian IGF was held in Moscow, organized by the Coordination Center of .RU (ICANN supported this event as a Silver Partner). The Forum attracted 300+ registered participants, both from Russia and former Soviet states, as well as from .VN, .CN, .RS, BRICS countries gTLDs. There was also a visible presence of ISOC headed by Raul Echeberria and Jari Arkko (IETF). The RIGF this year was an opportune meeting point where the main topics of discussion focused on the Internet of Things, Cyber security and Cyrillic IDNs (see agenda http://rigf.ru/en/prog/?p=prog <http://icann.us3.list-manage.com/track/click?u=818d573897ed5ea25ee71ebc1&id…>). Some interesting side sessions organized by ISOC also took place, focusing on the recent Russian initiatives on localization of data with experts expressing deep concerns on this topic, and a follow-up working meeting of the Moscow-based telecom experts on Net Neutrality. Michael Yakushev made a short presentation on the current issues of the Internet Governance at the Opening Plenary, and participated in a panel discussion on interaction between governmental and business stakeholders.

ICANN Globalization - Building Confidence in ICANN's Operations You have heard us reiterate our commitment to our global, diverse and ever-expanding community. Our President and CEO Fadi Chehadé previewed our globalization plans at the ICANN 50 London meeting in June last year. The objective of globalizing ICANN is to allow for broader, more inclusive participation and engagement by our community. Last month, we took a step forward with several operational improvements to the way we provide additional global services. These include: (1) additional global customer service capabilities, (2) new venues for arbitration in L-Root Hosting Agreements, and (3) options for payments in additional currencies. Read Susanna's blog ( https://www.icann.org/news/blog/building-confidence-in-icann-s-operations <http://icann.us3.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=818d573897ed5ea25ee71ebc1&i…>) for more details on these improvements and look out for more to come on this topic. ICANN Demonstrates High Standards in its Execution of the IANA Functions ICANN successfully completed two independent Service Organization Control (SOC) audits of the systems and processes it uses to execute the IANA functions for 2014. SOC audits, using a methodology developed jointly by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants and the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants, help ensure that ICANN has the appropriate internal controls in place to meet availability, processing integrity and security service levels for the IANA functions. 2014 marked the fifth consecutive year that ICANN received SOC 3 certification of its DNSSEC Root Key Signing Key systems. It also successfully completed the SOC 2 report, which evaluates key systems used to support IANA transaction processing functions. International accounting firm PricewaterhouseCoopers conducted the SOC audits. ICANN is dedicated to advancing operational excellence and audits are just one way it is demonstrating its commitment to high standards.

This is problematic because the Internet is a global resource, as well as a cultural and economic driver. Universal Acceptance is the vision for how the Internet of the future should function. It means that top-level domains, internationalized domain names and internationalized emails work seamlessly in all applications and services. During ICANN 52 in Singapore, members of the community representing various constituencies rallied around the Universal Acceptance Initiative and formed a Universal Acceptance Steering Group to guide the identification of top line issues and development of outreach strategies, as well as propose solutions to improve the situation.

Re: [kictanet] ZUKU SERVICE INTERRUPTIONS
by cdohnio 20 May '15

I don't think Safaricom's offering needs to compete with with Zuku quite yet, atleast on offering unlimited internet anyway, particularly because Safaricom has a much wider potential customer base than Zuku right now. It'll take Zuku quite a bit of time before they are able to boast similar coverage with Safaricom particularly because Safaricom has proven determined to upgrade their base stations to 4G and Zuku just won't be able to compete on that level. I do think that they have to get more consumer friendly pricing but I don't think they need to go unlimited yet, it'll just burden their network without a distinct advantage to them. I recently wrote about the opportunity that the Box represents for media here http://cdohnio.blogspot.com/2015/05/the-box-is-coming.html

ZUKU SERVICE INTERRUPTIONS
by Ali Hussein 20 May '15

20 May '15

Hi all Can anyone at Zuku who is on this list please let us know what is going on? I have had literally zero connectivity from them now for almost two weeks at home. Complaints through their customer service line, Twitter etc have not helped. All I get is a mechanical customer service rep telling me 'Service will be restored in due course and we are sorry for the service interruption!' Needless to say I have already 'vukad' to Safaricom's 'TheBigBox', however I still have a full month of service from Zuku. In the interest of trying to 'help' them I thought I'd pen this here because this kind of service is just unacceptable in this day and age. I hope someone is listening at Zuku. *Ali Hussein* *Hussein & Associates* Tel: +254 770 906375/ 713 601113 Twitter: @AliHKassim Skype: abu-jomo LinkedIn: http://ke.linkedin.com/in/alihkassim <http://ke.linkedin.com/in/alihkassim> Blog: www.alyhussein.com Any information of a personal nature expressed in this email are purely mine and do not necessarily reflect the official positions of the organizations that I work with.

Government says 60% of Services will be available online by year end
by Ali Hussein 20 May '15

20 May '15

Listers This is welcome. http://www.standardmedia.co.ke/mobile/?articleID=2000161896&story_title=60%… One thing is for sure. When it comes to availability of Government Services, this government gets an A- from me for effort. We must appreciate the strides we are making. We still have ways to go but a glass half full - not half empty is a better way to look at it. For me, what I find most impressive is the thinking behind mixing 'analogue' and digital. Take the Huduma Centres. I think this is a master stroke of building a bricks & clicks model to serve the public taking into consideration that Internet Penetration is still below 50%. The eCitizen Portal, despite UX issues is another feather in the cap of this government. Well done Dr.Matiang'i and Team. Onwards and Forwards! *Ali Hussein* *Hussein & Associates* Tel: +254 770 906375/ 713 601113 Twitter: @AliHKassim Skype: abu-jomo LinkedIn: http://ke.linkedin.com/in/alihkassim <http://ke.linkedin.com/in/alihkassim> Blog: www.alyhussein.com Any information of a personal nature expressed in this email are purely mine and do not necessarily reflect the official positions of the organizations that I work with.

Google Moves Its Corporate Applications to the Internet - The CIO Report - WSJ
by awatila＠yahoo.co.uk 14 May '15

Good evening, Many organizations especially government ones have been allergic to cloud based systems. Have a look at the below link that gives justification for cloud based systems http://blogs.wsj.com/cio/2015/05/11/google-moves-its-corporate-applications… "The new model — called the BeyondCorp initiative — assumes that the internal network is as dangerous as the Internet. Access depends on the employee’s device and user credentials. Using authentication, authorization and encryption, the model grants employees fine-grained access to different enterprise resources" Best Regards, Alex Watila
