The document discusses Internationalized Domain Names (IDNs) and how they allow domain names to be registered in local languages and scripts beyond just the Latin alphabet. It explains that traditionally only Latin letters a-z were allowed in top-level domains (TLDs) but starting in 2009, IDNs introduced non-Latin characters from other scripts. Now over 70 IDN TLDs have been created in languages like Arabic, Chinese, and Cyrillic through programs that establish country-specific and generic TLDs in local scripts. The goal is for the Domain Name System to be fully internationalized to connect more internet users around the world in their own languages.
This infographic explains how the domain name industry value chain is structured. Details on the coordination, wholesale, distribution and resale layers that lead to a consumer having the right to use a domain name.
Explains how groups that comprise the Domain Name Industry (registry service providers, registry operators, registrars, resellers etc.) relate to one another, and details the role of each group.
Provides a high level view of the relationship between different parties within the Domain Name Industry (registry service providers, registry operators, registrars, resellers etc.), and how the Industry relates to the ICT Sector (ISPs etc.) and groups involved in internet coordination.
This document provides a summary of ICANN's activities and accomplishments from February to June 2015. It discusses progress on technical operations, the IANA functions, engagement with the domain name industry, the new gTLD program, and initiatives. Metrics are provided on the number of requests processed and delegated gTLDs. Upcoming objectives for the ICANN meeting in Buenos Aires are outlined, including engaging with stakeholders and delivering program updates. A proposed scorecard establishes goals for the next period leading up to the Dublin meeting.
Next steps for whois accuracy reporting icann53ICANN
The document discusses the next steps for ICANN's WHOIS Accuracy Reporting System (ARS) project. It provides an overview of Phase 1 on syntactic accuracy, which is on track to publish a report in August 2015 analyzing accuracy of 10,000 domain name records. Phase 2 on operational accuracy will analyze whether contact information like emails and phone numbers are valid, and is scheduled to publish a report in December 2015. The document also discusses how inaccurate records identified by the WHOIS ARS project will be provided to registrars through ICANN's compliance function to address and improve accuracy over time.

How it works domain name registry protocol icann53ICANN
This document provides an overview of domain name registry protocols, including DNS, DNSSEC, WhoIs, EPP, and RDAP. It describes the functions and components of each protocol. DNS is the core internet protocol for resolving domain names to IP addresses. DNSSEC adds security features like digital signatures to DNS to authenticate domain name data. WhoIs and RDAP are protocols for accessing registration data. EPP is the standard protocol used between registries and registrars for tasks like domain registration and management. The document discusses the history and technical aspects of each protocol.

This document summarizes the 2013 RAA Whois Accuracy Specification review process. It provides an overview of the specification requirements, timeline for the review, and initial recommendations from ICANN staff. The staff recommendations seek to clarify existing requirements rather than substantive changes. The Registrar Stakeholder Group and Law Enforcement representatives then provided their own proposed updates to the specification. The public comment period was opened for feedback on the review.
The document discusses ICANN's new meeting strategy. It notes that attendance and scheduled sessions have increased significantly since 2006. In 2013, ICANN created a working group to assess this growth and its impact. The working group recommended: 1) ensuring time for policy development while increasing cross-community interaction; 2) developing a flexible meeting structure; 3) evolving the A, B, C meeting structure and focus. It outlines the proposed structure and focus of each type of meeting. It also shows the regional rotation of meetings from 2016-2020.
This document summarizes the key elements that should be included in a proposal for adding a new script to the Root Zone Label Generation Rules (LGR).

Policy Development Process Infographic SpanishICANN
Este documento describe los procesos de desarrollo de políticas multisectoriales de la ICANN para nombres de dominio genéricos (gTLD), nombres de dominio de código de país (ccTLD) e IP. Explica que la GNSO, ccNSO y ASO supervisan los procesos de desarrollo de políticas para cada uno de estos sectores respectivamente a través de grupos de trabajo y períodos de comentarios públicos, con el objetivo de lograr consenso y presentar recomendaciones a la Junta Directiva de la ICANN.
Policy Development Process Infographic EnglishICANN
The document summarizes the multistakeholder policy development processes for three ICANN supporting organizations:
1) The Generic Names Supporting Organization (GNSO) facilitates a bottom-up process for developing global policies relating to generic top-level domains (gTLDs) such as .com.
2) The Country Code Names Supporting Organization (ccNSO) develops global policies for country code top-level domains (ccTLDs) such as .uk through a defined policy development process.
3) The Address Supporting Organization (ASO) oversees the development of global Internet Protocol (IP) address policies through the five Regional Internet Registries (RIRs) in consultation with its Address Council
The Global Domains Division is the unit of ICANN that delivers IANA functions and engages the Internet community to implement ICANN policies for gTLDs through contracts and services.
GDD’s Consensus Policy Implementation Framework is designed to support predictability, accountability, transparency and efficiency in the Consensus Policy Implementation process.

El documento describe el crecimiento de Internet y la economía digital en América Latina y el Caribe. En 2015, había más de 345 millones de usuarios de Internet en la región, con una tasa de crecimiento anual compuesto del 10.8%. Para 2016, se estima que la economía digital de la región alcanzará los 4.2 billones de dólares. Las pequeñas y medianas empresas que hacen un uso intensivo de Internet tienen mayor probabilidad de expandir su alcance geográfico y aumentar sus ingresos.
Em 2015, havia mais de 345 milhões de usuários de internet na América Latina e Caribe, com a economia digital projetada para atingir US$ 4,2 trilhões em 2016. Pequenas e médias empresas que fazem uso intensivo da internet têm maior probabilidade de vender para mercados fora de suas regiões e experimentar taxas de crescimento mais altas em comparação com empresas que fazem uso limitado da internet. A ICANN encoraja empresas a participarem de associações empresariais para acompanhar discussões sobre o futuro da internet.
There were over 345 million internet users in Latin America and the Caribbean in 2015, a 10.8% increase. The digital economy has grown to $4.2 trillion globally by 2016, increasing at an 18% compound annual rate for developing countries compared to 8% for developed countries. Small and medium enterprises that are heavy internet users are 50% more likely to sell goods and services outside their local region, and experience higher revenue growth compared to those with medium or light internet use.
The document outlines a 4-5 month process for developing and implementing a proposal for enhancing ICANN accountability from a multistakeholder community group. It involves 3 phases of community proposal and public comment, review by the National Telecommunications and Information Administration, and finalizing the implementation of bylaw changes to establish the new accountability framework.
