11éme réunion du registre de l'internet pour l'Afrique: L'Afrique appelée à songer à une meilleure inter connectivité
Aïssatou Doucoure
25 Novembre 2009


« Protéger l'avenir de l'Internet en Afrique : en prévision de la mise en oeuvre du protocole ipv6 ». Tel est le thème de la 11ème réunion du registre de l'internet pour l'Afrique qui s'est ouverte hier mardi 24 novembre à Dakar. Le début de cette rencontre de quatre jours a permis à Adiel Akplogan, directeur général d'AfriNic de rappeler aux africains que « Le continent africain devrait réfléchir sur la manière d'arriver à un meilleur inter connectivité de son réseau Internet et se préparer aux évolutions notées dans ce domaine », déclare M. Adiel.

NTIC - INFORMATIQUE






AfriNic a organisé la 11ème réunion du registre de l'internet pour l'Afrique avec la collaboration de l'Agence de Régulation des Télécommunications et des Postes (Artp) dans le cadre de la mission de promotion des Tic en général et des Télécommunications en particulier. Cette rencontre « permettra à l'ensemble des participants d'apprécier l'étendue des avancées technologiques et leur impact socioéconomique et politique sur le continent », a annoncé Adiel Akplogan, directeur général d'AfriNic. Cette cérémonie qui a eu lieu dans un hôtel de la place hier 24 novembre avait pour thème « Protéger l'avenir de l'Internet en Afrique : en prévision de la mise en oeuvre du protocole ipv6 ».

Cette réunion « est présentée comme un appui aux milieux universitaires et professionnels en vue d'organiser la réflexion sur les grandes questions relatives aux Tic en Afrique telle que la gouvernance de l'Internet », a informé le directeur d'AfriNic. C'est dans cette perspective que « le continent africain devrait réfléchir sur la manière d'arriver à un meilleur inter connectivité de son réseau Internet et se préparer aux évolutions notées dans ce domaine », a renseigné Adiel Akplogan. Selon toujours lui, « l'Afrique fait face à un défi éducationnel en relation avec l'utilisation et le développement d'Internet ».

Dans cette mouvance, Nongo Diaw, directeur général de l'Artp déclare : « Internet est un médium de communication, et l'Afrique a besoin de former les jeunes en particulier à une meilleure utilisation de cet instrument ». Avant d'ajouter que la culture de l'Internet « doit être adaptée dès le bas âge aux réalités africaines en sensibilisant les pouvoirs publics et les utilisateurs, pour une meilleure adaptation à l'Internet de demain ».

> New Registrar Agreement Covers Most Registrations
> 
> Over 88 percent of domain names covered by new protections
> 
> 24 November 2009
> 
> Less than six months after new registrant protections were approved by the
> ICANN Board, over 88 percent of all generic domain names are now covered.
> 
> The protections include improved ways of storing data that require
> registration companies to submit to more stringent rules. These are included
> in a revised contract between ICANN and registrars, called the Registrar
> Accreditation Agreement (RAA).
> 
> Since the revised RAA was approved on 21 May 2009, 650 registrars have
> voluntarily agreed to be bound by the new agreement; collectively they
> represent 88 percent of all generic top-level domains registered. In return,
> those that have signed the new agreement are recognized by ICANN on its
> listing of accredited companies.
> 
> Under their existing contract, registrars are not required to sign up to the
> new RAA until their existing agreement ends, but they can voluntarily sign
> up early. The high level of coverage achieved to date is due primarily to
> these voluntary early adopters.
> 
> ICANN CEO and President Rod Beckstrom said of the high sign-up rate: “The
> fact that the vast majority of generic domain names are now covered by these
> protections is a clear sign of the industry’s goodwill and its commitment to
> effective self-regulation - especially since some of these protections come
> at a cost to the companies themselves. It is an extraordinary achievement in
> a very short time.”
> 
> Some of the additional protections afforded registrants under the new
> contract include:
> 
> - Enhanced enforcement tools to assure registrar compliance with ICANN
> policies
> - Enhanced data escrow requirements to protect registrants that use
> privacy or proxy services
> - A Registrant Rights & Responsibilities document
> - New requirements placed on resellers
> - Improved contact information requirements
> - Registrar required training program
> 
> “Registrars and the ICANN community successfully collaborated to make sure
> consumers are well protected while respecting the competitive marketplace
> ICANN has made part of its mandate,” said Mason Cole, Vice President of
> Oversee.net and chair of the Registrar Stakeholder Group. “It’s encouraging
> to see how quickly and assertively registrars have adopted the terms of the
> new agreement.”
> 
> As an aid to potential registrants, ICANN has added an indicator on each of
> our public lists of registrars to show which registrars have adopted the
> 2009 RAA. See:

> *WHAT WAS IT?*
> 
> 
> 
> ICANN's 36th international public meeting was the last of three held
> annually to conduct policy development and outreach. It was hosted by ICANN
> (the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers) and KISA (Korea
> Internet & Security Agency), a public agency that plays a major role in
> developing and researching the Internet in Korea.
> 
> The meeting was opened by three local dignitaries: Mr. See Joong Choi,
> chairman of the Korea Communications Commission; Mr. Heung Kil Ko, Senator
> and Chairman of the Culture, Sports, and Tourism, Broadcasting and
> Communications Committee of the National Assembly; and Ms. Hee Jung Kim,
> president of KISA.
> 
> Mr. See Joong Choi spoke about how the Internet was 40 years old, and the
> impact it has had in that time. He talked about how important IP addresses
> were as assets for the future and that they become a common resource for
> all. And he welcomed the introduction of IDNs as paving a "new way toward
> the future".
> 
> Mr. Heung Kil Ko spoke about how Korea was a leader in the knowledge and
> information society, with 77.6 percent of its citizens online. He spoke of
> the importance of an efficiently and stably managed IP address system, as
> well as dealing with security threats such as hacking and phishing. The
> conference would hopefully lead to close ties between ICANN and Korea, he
> added.
> 
> Ms. Hee Jung Kim also heralded the introduction of IDNs, and welcomed a
> recent change in the agreement that ICANN has with the United States
> government as strengthening the autonomy of the IP addressing system.
> 
> There were 1,207 attendees to the conference from 111 different countries.
> The participants engaged in a wide range of discussions about the Internet's
> domain name system and related issues.
> 
> *WHAT HAPPENED AND WHAT ARE THE NEXT STEPS? *
> 
> Many meetings, workshops, public forums and informal discussions were held
> over seven days by the different stakeholders of the ICANN model:
> 
> - Business interests
> - Civil society – – including the At-Large Summit of individual Internet
> user representatives
> - Governments and government agencies
> - Internet service providers
> - Registrants
> - Registrars
> - Registries
> - The technical community
> 
> Several key issues and themes evolved over the course of the meeting. They
> are summarized in this magazine.
> 
> Further information about the meeting, including presentations and
> transcripts, is available at http://sel.icann.org.
> 
> ICANN's next international public meeting will take place in Nairobi, Kenya
> beginning on 7 March 2010.
> Internationalized Domain Names (IDN's)
> 
> *WHAT HAPPENED *
> 
> The most significant progress at the Seoul meeting was the approval of the
> "fast track", which will see a limited number of internationalized domain
> names introduced to the Internet's root possibly before the end of the year.
> To celebrate the occasion, a special evening reception was held on the
> Monday.
> 
> The fast track was formally approved by the
> Board<http://www.icann.org/en/minutes/resolutions-30oct09-en.htm#2>on
> Friday, and although there remain concerns about their introduction,
> the
> Chairman noted it as an historic achievement and the vote was met with a
> standing ovation by the audience. Dozens of press articles from across the
> world also recognized the event.
> 
> For the first time, Internet users that speak something other than Western
> languages will be able to represent an entire Internet address in their own
> language.
> 
> *NEXT STEPS *
> 
> Applications to the fast track will open on 16 November.

> New gTLDs
> 
> *WHAT HAPPENED *
> 
> The third version of the Applicant Guidebook, as well as a range of other
> papers and explanatory memoranda, were produced for discussion at the
> meeting. A main session <http://sel.icann.org/node/6739> on the program was
> held on the Monday.
> 
> In particular, additional work was done on the “overarching issues” that
> need to be addressed before the introduction of new top-level domains (see
> below for more specific information).
> 
> ICANN staff revised the deadline to the opening application date for new
> gTLDs. Instead of giving a date, or quarter, the launch date will be
> dependent on community efforts to find solutions to the overarching issues.
> This approach prompted some in the community to argue that ICANN needed to
> demonstrate its determination to the process.
> 
> The result at the end of the week was a compromise solution, approved in a
> Board resolution<http://www.icann.org/en/minutes/resolutions-30oct09-en.htm#5>,
> that asked staff to look into how to introduce a system for allowing
> “expressions of interest” to be shown in new gTLDs. That process may allow
> for likely demand to be gauged and provide useful data to move some
> discussions from theoretical to pragmatic.
> 
> The Applicant Guidebook is out to public comment until 22 November.
> 
> - Trademark Protection
> 
> The issue of how to protect trademarks in the event of a massive expansion
> in the domain name space continued to be an issue of much debate. A special
> session <http://sel.icann.org/node/7116> was held on the Wednesday to
> discuss the issue.
> 
> Following public comment on a report produced for the previous meeting in
> Sydney (the IRT report), possible solutions to the issue were reduced from
> four to two in a staff paper released prior to the meeting. Those solutions
> are: the creation of an IP Clearinghouse, or database of validated
> trademarks; and a Uniform Rapid Suspension process for use in clear-cut
> cases of trademark infringement.
> 
> That paper has been put to the GNSO for review.
> 
> - Malicious Conduct
> 
> Two sessions on Monday afternoon addressed the concern that a large
> expansion of the domain name space will present new opportunities for abuse
> of the DNS, such as phishing, malware, the distribution of illegal content,
> and so on.
> 
> The broad concern is that with a large number of new companies entering the
> domain name market – both registries and registrars – that there will not be
> sufficient awareness of the problems of dealing with the criminal element
> online.
> 
> Summaries of the input received so far on this issue as well as a report by
> ICANN staff with proposed mitigation measures were posted for review prior
> to the meeting and a panel discussion <http://sel.icann.org/node/7116> dug
> further into both.
> 
> - Security and Stability
> 
> A session on Wednesday <http://sel.icann.org/node/7084> focused on a report
> that reviewed how the Internet's current systems could scale to accommodate
> new Internet extensions, as well as other security related issues such as
> the introduction of a more secure form of the current system, called DNSSEC.
> 
> Broadly, there are some concerns that if a large number of extensions were
> introduced to the Internet at the same time, that the systems currently in
> place would not be able to cope.
> 
> There was some discussion about whether the report effectively recommended
> that new gTLDs would need to be delayed or spread out over time, although
> there was no agreement on that point and it remains for ICANN's Advisory
> Committees in this area (RSSAC and SSAC) to review the report, public
> comments on the issue, and report back to the community.
> 
> The root scaling report is out for public
> comment<http://www.icann.org/en/public-comment/#rsst-report>until 29
> November.
> 
> - Demand and Economic Analysis
> 
> Further economic analysis will be commissioned by ICANN in order to address
> outstanding concerns raised following review of the two previous economic
> studies.
> 
> *NEXT STEPS *
> 
> Feedback from the meeting, as well as comments sent to comment periods
> covering the third version of the Applicant Guidebook and papers related to
> the overarching issues, will be used to produce a fourth version of the
> guidebook for the Nairobi meeting in March.
> 
> Staff will review the possibility of introducing a system where potential
> gTLD applicants are able to provide “expressions of interest” in new
> Internet extensions in order to help the work move forward more effectively.
>

> Strategic Planning
> 
> *WHAT HAPPENED *
> 
> ICANN held its first strategic planning session for 2010 on Wednesday
> morning.
> 
> The strategic plan is the process by which the organization's priorities are
> mapped out, feedback is received from the community, and all the input is
> pulled into an Operating Plan, from which the organization's budget is
> decided and allocated.
> 
> The session was more interactive than previous years with an online survey
> asking people to rank the importance of various areas of work e.g. implement
> new gTLDs, strengthen accountability, etc.
> 
> The plan recognized four main areas of focus for ICANN:
> 
> - Preserve DNS stability and security
> - Promote competition, trust and consumer choice
> - Excel in IANA and other core operations
> - Maintain ICANN's long term role in the Internet eco-system.
> 
> Within these, no less than 18 projects were highlighted as being of
> strategic priorities over the next three years.
> 
> * NEXT STEPS *
> 
> A draft plan will be drawn up based on community feedback and provided to
> the Board for review. The plan will then be put out to public comment in
> early December, with the second set of feedback used to draw up a revised
> plan to be put before the Board for approval in February 2010.

> GNSO Improvements
> 
> *WHAT HAPPENED *
> 
> After years of hard work, the new GNSO Council sat for the first time in
> Seoul. There are now two main stakeholder groups: Contracted (made up of
> registries and registrars), and Non-Contracted (made up of commercial and
> non-commercial interests).
> 
> A new chair was chosen by both houses – Chuck Gomes – and he will work
> alongside two new vice-chairs: Olga Cavalli (Non-Contracted) and Stephane
> van Gelder (Contracted).

> Independent Reviews
> 
> *WHAT HAPPENED *
> 
> A number of sessions that covered the review of specific parts of ICANN were
> held during the week.
> 
> Currently, two bodies are in the implementation phase: GNSO and ALAC. The
> GNSO process was largely finished with the sitting of the new Council;
> whereas the ALAC met the Board's Structural Improvements
> Committee<http://sel.icann.org/node/7183>to discuss the implementation
> of its changes.
> 
> Meanwhile, going through the Working Group stage (i.e. just before
> implementation) there is: the Nominating
> Committee<http://sel.icann.org/node/7094>;
> Board <http://sel.icann.org/node/7252>; and SSAC<http://sel.icann.org/node/7098>
> .
> 
> Other reviews ongoing included: RSSAC (just at the start of the working
> group period); ccNSO (just about to head into the review process); and ASO
> (terms of reference for its review being drawn up).
> 
> *NEXT STEPS *
> 
> The reviews will progress through the clearly defined processes in each
> case. More sessions will be held in Nairobi to discuss and review that
> progress.

> Fellowship Update
> 
> My name is Fahd A. Batayneh and I'm Jordanian – home to the Rose City of
> Petra, one of the new Seven Wonders of the World. I'm a systems engineer at
> Jordan's National Information Technology Center (NITC) – part of the
> Ministry of Information and Communication Technology (MoICT).
> 
> My focus is IT consultancy and policy development and I am a key member of
> the team running the DNS mission of dot-jo. I am also an active member of
> Jordan's IPv6 committee and ENUM committee. I also provide training to
> university interns. It is thanks to this network that I was asked by my
> government to represent Jordan within ICANN.
> 
> I have been involved with ICANN since the Paris meeting in June 2008 and now
> sit on no less than four working groups. I am also involved in the Asia
> Pacific Top-Level Domains (APTLD) organization, the Arabic Domain Names and
> Internet Governance Team (ADNIGT), and the Usage of Arabic Scripts in Domain
> Names Working Group (ASIWG).
> 
> So how did my involvement in the fellowship program start?
> 
> On a rainy winter day in February of 2008, I sat down at work and started
> going through that morning's emails when I was delighted to see one from
> ICANN congratulating me on being selected to attend the Paris meeting as a
> fellow. I was speechless! To be honest, at first I thought it was a scam,
> but after a few phone calls I found out it was for real and I was extremely
> happy that it was! It was the beginning of my – hopefully – long lasting
> adventures with ICANN.
> 
> At the Paris meeting, I was totally lost since I barely knew anybody and
> hearing terms such as ccNSO, gNSO, GAC, ALAC, SSAC, RSSAC, and ASO - the
> ICANN language - was confusing and misleading at first. But with the help of
> ICANN's regional manager to the Middle East, Baher Esmat, I got to know some
> people and soon grew accustomed to the terminology.
> 
> A few months later, ICANN asked for volunteers to work on two working
> groups: the Strategic and Operational Planning Interaction Committee, and
> the Community Wide Working Group on Geographical Regions. I applied to both,
> and with an excellent recommendation from my DNS advisor, I was accepted.
> Then, in September 2009, the ccNSO announced their need for extra volunteers
> to two ongoing working groups: the Incident Response Working Group, and the
> Joint ccNSO/gNSO IDN Working Group. I was accepted on board with the first
> working group a few days later, but it was not until the Seoul meeting that
> I was informed of my involvement with the later one.
> 
> Working with these groups, or with any work group established for the cause
> of ICANN and the evolution of the Internet, is done on a volunteer basis and
> can be time consuming, especially during the first steps of producing a
> preliminary draft charter. But it is also very exciting as you have the
> opportunity to work with and learn from interesting people who operate
> different organizations in various ways.
> 
> Back home, I am very keen to introduce my community to ICANN, and I
> encourage my colleagues to apply to the fellowship program so that, if
> successful, they could attend an ICANN meeting and get to know the community
> and how they operate. They can then reflect on what they learned and share
> their learnings with the local community.
