#ICANN86 is underway in Seville, Spain. ICANN86 days don't start until 10:00 CEST, which means it's well and truly dark already for me here at 6 pm in the Australian winter. As usual, I'll be focussing on the Government Advisory Committee (GAC) discussions. Details of the meeting:
icann86.sched.com
#ICANN86 GAC: There have been 27 new GAC members since ICANN85, with a total of 184 GAC Member economies & 41 observers (IGOs, etc). Ian Sheldon, Australia, will assume the role of GAC Chair at the end of #ICANN87 in Bali.
To invoke a sporting chant: Aussie, Aussie, Aussie! Oi! Oi! Oi!

- Why the UN is OK with a high profile official using a platform known for hosting (& monetizing) highly problematic extreme rightwing & health disinformation content
- Why the UN is OK with an official UN homepage linking to the personal, non-UN badged account of said official
