9
00:01:12.520 --> 00:01:32.520
MTS - AV: Thank you very much, Gulten. Good morning, good afternoon, and good evening to those joining us online. Ladies and gentlemen, distinguished GAC representatives, welcome to ICANN 87 Opening Plenary here in the beautiful, beautiful island of Bali, Indonesia.

10
00:01:33.400 --> 00:01:51.659
MTS - AV: It's a profound honor and a deeply emotional privilege to stand before you today in a place so deeply rooted in spirituality, harmony, and resilience. As we gather in Bali, we are embraced by the Indonesian national motto of

11
00:01:51.670 --> 00:01:55.549
MTS - AV: Bineka Tungal Ika. Is that correct? Correct.

12
00:01:56.120 --> 00:02:12.949
MTS - AV: Unity in diversity, a concept that perfectly mirrors our own multi-stakeholder model. We can draw immense inspiration from Indonesia's rich history, from the maritime prowess of the Majapahit Empire.

13
00:02:12.980 --> 00:02:20.300
MTS - AV: that connected distant shores for global trade to the ancient collaborative Subak.

14
00:02:20.770 --> 00:02:29.649
MTS - AV: Subak systems of Bali where basically communities have worked together for over a thousand years to share water and resources equitably.

15
00:02:30.350 --> 00:02:49.890
MTS - AV: These historical examples of navigation, shared ecosystem management, and collective governance reflect the very essence of our mission, which is bridging diverse cultures and interests to manage and protect a secure, unified, and globally connected Internet.

16
00:02:50.780 --> 00:03:08.209
MTS - AV: This week, our agenda is robust and reflects the critical evolving priorities of our global community. Over the coming days, the GAC will engage in vital capacity development and discussions regarding the new GTLD's next round, which is basically the big thing nowadays.

17
00:03:08.320 --> 00:03:18.319
MTS - AV: We will also tackle complex discussions on WHOIS and registration data issues, carefully balancing technical transparency with privacy.

18
00:03:18.930 --> 00:03:35.519
MTS - AV: Our schedule includes essential sessions on DNS abuse mitigation to safeguard the Internet's core infrastructure alongside Okto, as well as advancing a truly inclusive network through the GAC UAIDN Working Group.

19
00:03:36.000 --> 00:03:59.550
MTS - AV: Furthermore, we will dedicate significant effort to drafting the GAC communique, as everybody knows, and holding foundational exchanges with the GNSO Council, the CSG, Commercial Stakeholder Group, the CPH, Contracted Parties House, and I'm trying to remember the acronyms, the CCNSO and the ICANN Board.

20
00:03:59.630 --> 00:04:18.920
MTS - AV: So as we embark on this vital work, I must, you know, I must pause to share a very personal reflection at this point. This meeting in Bali marks my final meeting as your GAC chair, concluding a deeply rewarding four-year journey.

21
00:04:19.360 --> 00:04:23.549
MTS - AV: The Stoic philosopher Marcus Aurelius once observed.

22
00:04:24.260 --> 00:04:33.330
MTS - AV: And I quote, "Time is a sort of river of passing events, and strong is its current."

23
00:04:33.940 --> 00:04:50.640
MTS - AV: We are all carried forward by this river, and while roles and titles inevitably change, the struggles of policy development and the profound collegiality we have built have been one of the absolute greatest privileges of my professional life.

24
00:04:50.910 --> 00:04:57.830
MTS - AV: We have debated, we have compromised, and most importantly, we have… we have grown together.

25
00:04:58.140 --> 00:05:03.300
MTS - AV: For this, I want to express my deepest, most sincere gratitude.

26
00:05:03.540 --> 00:05:07.260
MTS - AV: Thank you to the incredible GAC representatives, to you.

27
00:05:07.500 --> 00:05:23.020
MTS - AV: For your tireless dedication, your wisdom, and your trust. Thank you to the phenomenal GAC staff, the Fabulous Five, without whom none of our work, coordination, or sanity would be possible.

28
00:05:23.420 --> 00:05:27.649
MTS - AV: I also want to extend my heartfelt appreciation to the interpreters.

29
00:05:27.800 --> 00:05:39.179
MTS - AV: and technicians who seamlessly bridge our voices and languages, and to the ICANN board and community leaders for their constant and collaborative spirit.

30
00:05:39.610 --> 00:05:51.919
MTS - AV: As another great stoic, Epictetus, reminds us, and I quote, it is not what happens to you, but how you react to it that matters.

31
00:05:52.150 --> 00:06:02.730
MTS - AV: So my reaction to stepping down is one of immense joy and optimism for the future, because I have this… I leave this seat in exceptional hands.

32
00:06:05.050 --> 00:06:21.180
MTS - AV: Please join me in giving a remarkably warm welcome to our incoming GAC chair, Mr. Ian Sheldon from Australia. I know that under his leadership, the GAC will continue to thrive, innovate, and fiercely advocate for the global public interest.

33
00:06:21.460 --> 00:06:39.659
MTS - AV: Please rest assured, while my term as chair is concluding, I am not saying a final goodbye at this point. I plan to stay somehow connected to the ICANN environment, and I will try not to leave this wonderful community entirely, hoping to contribute in new ways down the road.

34
00:06:39.970 --> 00:06:50.860
MTS - AV: Let's embrace the spirit of Bali and make ICANN 87 a truly memorable and productive meeting. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart.

35
00:06:51.160 --> 00:06:52.919
MTS - AV: Welcome to Indonesia.

36
00:06:59.680 --> 00:07:10.810
MTS - AV: Thank you. At this point, I will give the floor to Mr. Neil El-Himam, Deputy of Creativity and Technology from the Ministry of Creative Economy.

37
00:07:11.900 --> 00:07:16.899
MTS - AV: and the Creative Economy Agency of the Republic of Indonesia. Neil?

38
00:07:17.330 --> 00:07:18.800
MTS - AV: Thank you, Nicholas.

39
00:07:21.320 --> 00:07:25.440

MTS - AV: Mr. Lars Hoffmann, Vice President of Policy Development and Governmental Advisory Committee Relations at ICANN.

41
00:07:33.640 --> 00:07:39.959
MTS - AV: Mr. Tego Arifiadi, Director of Electronic Certification and Transaction Supervision from the Ministry of…

42
00:07:40.260 --> 00:07:51.740
MTS - AV: Communication and Digital Affairs, Mr. Dan Yuda, Director of Creative Technology from the Ministry of Creative Economy, distinguished GAC members and observers, ladies and gentlemen.

43
00:07:52.490 --> 00:07:57.080
MTS - AV: Good morning and welcome to Bali, Indonesia.

44
00:08:01.390 --> 00:08:02.989
MTS - AV: This is… this is…

45
00:08:03.080 --> 00:08:22.160
MTS - AV: For both that are already coming here, or first time coming here to Bali, so very good morning to you all. First, I would like to express my sincere appreciation to Mr. Nicholas Cabello for his leadership of the Governmental Advisory Committee, and for his continued support and contribution to the GAC community.

46
00:08:22.440 --> 00:08:32.100
MTS - AV: As the committee prepares for its next chapter, we are grateful for his dedication in strengthening dialogue and cooperation among government and stakeholders.

47
00:08:33.059 --> 00:08:44.340
MTS - AV: It is also an honor to join you on behalf of the Minister of Creative Economy of the Republic of Indonesia, Mr. Tekurivi Harja at the opening of the GAC session during ICANN 87.

48
00:08:45.880 --> 00:08:58.209
MTS - AV: Under Indonesia's Law No. 24 of 2019 on the creative economy, we define our creative economy as manifestation of added value from intellectual property.

49
00:08:58.430 --> 00:09:03.950
MTS - AV: Created by human, based on three things, cultural heritage, knowledge, and or technology.

50
00:09:04.510 --> 00:09:07.290
MTS - AV: So our creative economy encompasses.

51
00:09:07.510 --> 00:09:22.490
MTS - AV: Digital games, application, animation, film design, digital content, fashion and so on. The Internet enables Indonesian creators to reach global markets, develop intellectual property as well as create new economic opportunities.

52
00:09:23.390 --> 00:09:25.009
MTS - AV: This is why…

53
00:09:25.780 --> 00:09:32.080
MTS - AV: Close cooperation between the Ministry of Communication and Digital Affairs and the Ministry of Creative Economy is essential.

54
00:09:32.780 --> 00:09:43.809
MTS - AV: Reliable digital infrastructures enable creativity to flourish, while creative innovation transforms the infrastructures into economic and cultural value.

55
00:09:44.620 --> 00:09:52.040
MTS - AV: We believe in an open, stable, secure and interoperable Internet is fundamental to inclusive and competitive digital economy.

56
00:09:52.240 --> 00:09:55.240
MTS - AV: Internet governance is not only about technology.

57
00:09:55.470 --> 00:10:03.270
MTS - AV: It also shapes innovations, cultural diversity, and opportunity for creators and businesses worldwide.

58
00:10:04.750 --> 00:10:10.409
MTS - AV: Indonesia, therefore, supports efforts to strengthen linguistic diversity and digital inclusion.

59
00:10:10.520 --> 00:10:12.240
MTS - AV: Through our…

60
00:10:12.370 --> 00:10:24.029
MTS - AV: Dot ID registry, Pandi, Indonesia has advanced the digital representation of local scripts, including Balinese scripts, and is preparing initiatives involving other Indonesian scripts as well.

61
00:10:25.540 --> 00:10:38.909
MTS - AV: Indonesia is also participating in ICANN's 2026 round of the New Generic Top Level Domain Program. Five applications from Indonesia were presented on Reveal Day, including Dot Bali.

62
00:10:39.550 --> 00:10:45.740
MTS - AV: This marks an important step in expanding Indonesia's participation in the global domain name ecosystem.

63
00:10:46.730 --> 00:11:03.179
MTS - AV: As emerging technology, including artificial intelligence and Web3, continue to evolve, international cooperation remains essential to maintaining trust, security, and responsible innovation while preserving the Internet's global interoperability.

64
00:11:03.340 --> 00:11:05.260
MTS - AV: Interoperability, sorry.

65
00:11:05.810 --> 00:11:16.369
MTS - AV: ICANN and the GAC provide an important platform for government and stakeholders to exchange perspectives and contribute to secure, stable, and inclusive development of the global Internet.

66
00:11:17.000 --> 00:11:18.200
MTS - AV: Now…

67
00:11:18.470 --> 00:11:30.629
MTS - AV: This is the fun part. I would also like to take this opportunity to warmly invite all GAC members and observers to the GAC dinner on the 20th of October 2026.

MTS - AV: I know that this is gonna be a whole week of work hard, So, let me urge you.

80
00:13:17.790 --> 00:13:24.989
MTS - AV: If you want to, Party hard, then you can go to the Changu area in Bali.

81
00:13:25.430 --> 00:13:33.350
MTS - AV: But if you prefer to relax to the max, then you can go to Ubud in north of this place. Thank you so much.

82
00:13:34.460 --> 00:13:36.319
MTS - AV: And welcome to Bali once again.

83

89
00:14:26.570 --> 00:14:37.359
MTS - AV: And then we'll start reviewing the communicate development process as we usually do. Next slide, please, Gulten.

90
00:14:38.130 --> 00:14:57.530
MTS - AV: So, there you have it. This is the block schedule. We… I don't really think we need to go in detail. I'll just check day by day. We have the opening plenary today, then we'll have a coffee break, then we'll be talking… then we'll have two capacity development sessions, as everybody knows.

MTS - AV: An empty slot, which we will use internally to discuss some… some issues, regarding the…

00:16:32.960 --> 00:16:36.300
MTS - AV: The community care development,

100
00:16:36.580 --> 00:16:46.590
MTS - AV: details. And then another coffee break, lots of coffee, indeed, which I like very much. And then Q&A with ICANN Org executives,

107
00:17:58.490 --> 00:18:15.229
MTS - AV: Three sessions for the rest of Wednesday and two sessions on Thursday, potentially one, depending on how efficient we are this week. Then we have the public forum on Thursday at 10:30 AM.

108
00:18:15.510 --> 00:18:30.490
MTS - AV: Then the last, potentially the last communique drafting session right after lunch. And then after the coffee break, we'll have the geopolitical forum and the ICANN board meeting.

109
00:18:30.490 --> 00:18:44.359
MTS - AV: And there will be another closing cocktail. I say another because there's a whole bunch of different parties. And as the minister said before, you know, what was the name of the place you suggested, Neil?

110
00:18:44.640 --> 00:19:03.590
MTS - AV: For parties. Canggu. Canggu. If you go to Canggu, there are a lot of parties over there. So part of Canggu, there are plenty of cocktail meetings and parties during this ICANN week. So that's it for the block schedule.

111
00:19:03.590 --> 00:19:10.309
MTS - AV: As everybody knows, we had three sessions to develop this block schedule.

112
00:19:10.410 --> 00:19:15.469
MTS - AV: So this shouldn't be a surprise for anybody. Next slide, please, Wilton.

113
00:19:18.240 --> 00:19:26.060
MTS - AV: So this is, as everybody knows, ICANN 87 is an AGM, an annual general meeting.

114
00:19:26.580 --> 00:19:29.940
MTS - AV: You know, speaking… speaking about the format.

115
00:19:30.270 --> 00:19:34.830
MTS - AV: And the priority topics and sessions are…

116
00:19:36.790 --> 00:19:49.800
MTS - AV: I don't actually understand what that means, but in any case, you know, our priorities for these sessions are, you know, the GAC readiness for next round of new gTLDs, DNS abuse and gTLD registration data.

117
00:19:49.800 --> 00:20:05.629
MTS - AV: Dns abuse, as everybody knows, is something that we've been dealing with for, in my opinion, a long time. The sooner we find a solution for that, the better for everybody, you know, very especially our populations.

118
00:20:07.120 --> 00:20:12.610
MTS - AV: But anyways, we'll get to the details there. And then some GTLD registration data.

119
00:20:12.610 --> 00:20:30.559
MTS - AV: We'll also talk about the GAC annual plan, you know, the progress we have made so far, and some operations, you know, very especially the operating principles evolution, and for that we have an expert here, who happens to be also the next GAC chair, and he'll be the shepherd for those

120
00:20:30.560 --> 00:20:48.930

00:52:05.960 --> 00:52:28.650
MTS - AV: New GAC delegates. Welcome, everyone. So we're going to make sure we will be patient and explain all the acronyms because as I always say, ICANN is an acronym romance. You know, like it's kind of like a special dialect or something. You need to translate every two paragraphs or every two phrases you need to…

332
00:52:28.910 --> 00:52:32.890
MTS - AV: You know, translate what the acronyms stand for, and so on.

00:52:32.940 --> 00:52:51.899
MTS - AV: So, we're basically up to 185 members and 41 observers so far. We welcome Togo. Is it the Republic of Togo? Please correct me if I'm wrong, and please excuse my utter ignorance. Is it the Republic of Togo, or what is the official name?

334
00:52:54.580 --> 00:52:56.750

340
00:53:24.160 --> 00:53:47.899
MTS - AV: There are some important reminders at this point before we close the session, as we still have five minutes. Make sure, make sure, and you have the link right there, join GAC at ICANN.org, that's for the ticketing system for all delegation updates. Make sure you're there in order to receive the latest news, you know, the latest information.

341
00:53:47.940 --> 00:53:53.910
MTS - AV: On an official basis,

342
00:53:55.290 --> 00:54:15.399
MTS - AV: so that the capabilities are activated for… for you, in this case, right? Just, well, everybody knows this is public information, but, we had the election of a new GAC chair, Mr. Ian Sheldon, you know, from Australia. He will be in charge of everything

343
00:54:15.680 --> 00:54:31.060
MTS - AV: Right after this meeting, you know. And his two-year term will begin at the conclusion of this meeting. That is October 26th, 25th.

344
00:54:31.180 --> 00:54:50.279
MTS - AV: 25th, right? Officially. And as I said before, we, we're also welcoming Tiago Daltua from Colombia, who was elected, GAC Vice Chair from the Latin America region. His one-year term will begin at the conclusion of ICANN 88 in…

345
00:54:50.310 --> 00:55:07.630
MTS - AV: In Lisbon, in March next year, actually, 2027 — there's a glitch there — which is basically the remainder of Ian Sheldon's tenure as vice chair, given the fact that he was elected GAC chair.

346
00:55:09.300 --> 00:55:20.689
MTS - AV: And, okay, so we'll talk about this later on, as we're right at the top of the hour. So at this point, let me just remind you that,

347
00:55:20.690 --> 00:55:43.199
MTS - AV: On the one hand, we'll have the very good chance of enjoying Indonesian coffee in two minutes. And right after that, I mean, we'll have a coffee break, a 30-minute coffee break. At 10:30, I kindly ask you to come back for the first capacity building, capacity development session.

349
00:56:01.150 --> 00:56:11.150
MTS - AV: For everything you have done so far and for the beautiful place and the facilities and everything else. So we're going to pause here. Thank you so much. Enjoy your coffee.
