[NCUC-DISCUSS] ICANN Study on Digital Economy in MENAT

Mon Oct 9 16:43:22 CEST 2017

Hi Michael,

Thanks very much for this. Unfortunately the email from Fahd does not answer my question. The link to the 2016 DNS study is tenuous at best. It is still not clear to me how this new report falls within ICANN's mission. I hope he might be able to elaborate.

Regards,

Ayden Férdeline

If one reads both reports, one would understand where the likes of fintech and startups fit within the context of the report.

>>> Thanks for sharing this, Renata. That being said it is not all that clear to me why ICANN commissioned this study. The recommendations to policymakers - encourage fintech, enable a vibrant startup scene, and so forth - how do these relate to the DNS? Maybe I am missing something, but I find the conclusions rather obvious and their relevance to ICANN's core activities not overly apparent. Perhaps someone can fill me in. Thanks!
