*(Apologies for cross-posting)* As a researcher, I have never come across a highly intensive and inclusive book like "The Internet Ecosystem". The book englobes the whole Internet Ecosystem with the correct information compared to misleading information from blogs/wikipedia on the Internet. This book was reviewed by Vint Cerf. I have just completed the reading, I will highly recommend it and it is nice to have a copy to keep for reference. Professor Peter Anderson Head of Research ------------------------------ *From:* Nikesh B. Simmandree <nikeshbs(a)outlook.com> *Sent:* Monday, August 18, 2025 1:35 PM *To:* alac-announce(a)icann.org <alac-announce(a)icann.org>; alac(a)icann.org < alac(a)icann.org>; at-large(a)icann.org <at-large(a)icann.org>; afri-discuss(a)icann.org <afri-discuss(a)icann.org> *Subject:* Launch of The Internet Ecosystem Book Dear Community, I am thrilled to announce the launch of my book, *The Internet Ecosystem* — a comprehensive exploration of the history, architecture, governance, and future of the Internet. This book distills decades of technological evolution — from ARPANET and packet switching, to AI, Web3, quantum networks, and beyond — into a clear, engaging narrative accessible to both technical and non-technical readers *What the Book Covers* - *The Past:* How Cold War research, ARPANET, and packet switching gave birth to the Internet we know today. - *The Present:* The intricate roles of ISPs, backbone providers, cloud infrastructure, AI, cybersecurity, and global governance shaping our daily online experiences. - *The Future:* Insights into 5G/6G, blockchain, immersive technologies, quantum security, and the Internet in 2050. With *49 detailed chapters*, the book provides a definitive yet approachable reference for students, professionals, policymakers, and curious readers alike. My mission with *The Internet Ecosystem* is to make the Internet’s complexity understandable — showing not only *how* the Internet works, but also *why* it matters and has become one of the most transformative human inventions — while sparking dialogue on how we build a secure, inclusive, and sustainable digital future. In the 21st century, understanding the Internet is not optional — it’s essential. Whether you’re a business leader, policymaker, educator, student, or everyday Internet user, this book provides the context and clarity you need to navigate the opportunities and challenges of our connected world. *Get Your Copy* *The Internet Ecosystem* is now available: https://payhip.com/b/hfvYg Thank you, Best Regards, Nikesh B.

This message is sent on behalf of the Number Resource Organization The original announcement is available at: https://www.nro.net/call-for-public-comments-on-the-2025-iana-performance-m… -------------------- Call for Public Comments on the 2025 IANA Performance Matrix Summary Report -------------------- As a result of the successful IANA Stewardship Transition in 2016, the IANA Numbering Services are managed through a Service Level Agreement between ICANN and the five Regional Internet Registries (RIRs). In the same year, the IANA Numbering Services Review Committee (IANA RC) was established. The IANA RC is composed of representatives from each RIR region and advises and assists the RIRs in the review and evaluation of the IANA Numbering Services. The operational delivery of the IANA Numbering Services is currently performed by Public Technical Identifiers (PTI). PTI publishes detailed monthly performance reports, which are available on the IANA Numbering Services website: https://www.iana.org/performance/numbers Based on these monthly reports, the five RIRs have compiled the 2025 IANA Performance Matrix Summary Report: https://www.nro.net/wp-content/uploads/2025-IANA-Performance-Matrix.pdf 30-Day Public Comment Period The IANA RC is now opening a 30-day public comment period to seek input from the global Internet number community regarding the performance of the IANA Numbering Services and the findings contained in the 2025 IANA Performance Matrix Summary Report. All members of the Internet number community are encouraged to review the report and provide feedback. Comments on IANA service performance should be submitted to: iana-performance [at] nro [dot] net The IANA RC will publish its annual report in March 2026 as formal advice to the NRO Executive Council. This report will be based on the Performance Matrix Summary Report and on the input received from the community during this consultation process. The public comment period will close on Friday, 6 March 2026 at 23:59 UTC. All comments received will be published on the NRO website in the dedicated IANA RC section and will be carefully considered as part of the preparation of the final report. Following the conclusion of the comment period, the IANA RC will meet to review and evaluate all submitted feedback. The NRO website where the comments will be published can be found at: https://www.nro.net/accountability/operational/iana-numbering-services-revi… On behalf of Constanze Bürger Chair, IANA Numbering Services Review Committee -- Kind regards, Karla Liddle-White Senior Communications Officer RIPE NCC

RIR Governance Document Version 2: Status Report Q1 2026
by Ulka Athale 06 Feb '26

06 Feb '26

This message is sent on behalf of the Number Resource Organization ---------------------------- The original announcement is available at: https://www.nro.net/rir-governance-document-version-2-status-report-q1-2026/ ---------------------------- The Number Resource Organization Number Council (NRO NC) has compiled a status report on the outstanding topics related to comments received during the consultation on the second version of the RIR Governance Document [1]. The report is available at: https://www.nro.net/rir-governance-document-version-2-status-report-q1-2026/ This report is a result of NRO NC workshop from 12 to 14 November in Montevideo to review the feedback received across the five RIR mailing lists, input via various webinars and online sessions, sessions held at RIR Meetings, community fora, engagement with ICANN communities and also via the ICANN Public Comment process. Following this review, the NRO NC concluded that while a large part of the document is in place, there are certain questions that warrant further discussion. This report lists “open” issues as well as those issues that received significantly more comments and the decisions made during the workshop based on feedback received. These issues will be addressed by updating the language in the final version. As work on the RIR Governance Document progresses, this status report highlights questions that are still under discussion and might be modified in the final version of the document. We encourage interested parties to review the status report and continue to monitor progress prior to the publication of the final draft which will advance to the RIRs and ICANN for approval and adoption [2]. We sincerely thank everyone who has shared their insights, and we appreciate the time, thought and effort put in by our respondents. Please review the updated process timeline to ensure you don’t miss the opportunity to provide feedback in the future [3]. On behalf of the NRO NC The Number Resource Organization Number Council (NRO NC) is also known as the Address Supporting Organization Address Council (ASO AC) within ICANN, where it serves as the body responsible for overseeing global policy development related to Internet number resources.
