Around 1200 persons were participating in the event (900 attended in person and more than 300 remotely). LACNIC tested a new 4 days of meeting format, replacing the traditional 5 days schedule, used up to 2025. During those 4 days, attendees could participate in tutorials for a wide range of network (including topics like IPv6, RPKI and ASPA), cybersecurity and IP administration issues.

FW: Message from your NomCom appointee: brief update
by German Valdez Aviles 30 May '26

30 May '26

Dear ASO AC By request of Pablo Hinojosa, ASO appointment to the ICANN Nomcom, I’m relaying this report to you. Regards Germán Valdez -- From: Pablo Hinojosa <pablohinojosa(a)pm.me> Date: Friday, 29 May 2026 at 5:37 pm To: herve.clement(a)orange.com <herve.clement(a)orange.com>; German Valdez Aviles <german(a)apnic.net>; Esteban Lescano <esteban(a)lescano-etcheverry.com.ar> Subject: Message from your NomCom appointee: brief update Dear Hervé, Esteban and Germán, Please help me to pass this message to the ASO-AC members. I am writing with sadness following the recent passing of Alan and Arinola, two very esteemed members of our community. Their contributions should remain in our future work. I also wanted to share an update on the progress of the NomCom. Tom Barrett recently published a blog post that adds transparency to where we stand: https://www.icann.org/en/blogs/details/the-2026-icann-nominating-committee-… The 2026 NomCom received 223 applications for 7 positions. We had two rounds of shortlisting and 47 in-depth interviews between April and early May. The pool has been narrowed to the top candidates for PTI and the ICANN Boards and we will proceed to face-to-face interviews at ICANN86 in Seville. Appointments for the ccNSO Council, GNSO Council, and ALAC regional seats have also been finalised. Looking ahead, we may need to avoid any unintended overlap between processes, particularly as the ASO-AC will consider an extraordinary appointment for Seat 9 following Alan's passing. If there is any need for coordination with the NomCom, please do not hesitate to reach out. Thank you again for your trust in me. Recent events remind me that life is too short and that our time as colleagues should not be taken for granted. I look forward to hopefully catching up in Seville in person. Best regards, Pablo P.S. Kevin suggested in Mumbai that I keep a record of the time commitment involved in serving on the NomCom. Attached is the latest version of that timelog for reference.

Fw: [ripe-list] In memoriam: Alan Barrett
by herve.clement＠orange.com 29 May '26

29 May '26

Dear all, I've just received this below really sad news. Alan was a friend we've trusted him to be part of the ICANN board of directors. He will be missed. My first thoughts go of course to his family. Best regards Hervé Envoyé à partir de Outlook pour Android<https://aka.ms/AAb9ysg> ________________________________ From: Remco van Mook <remco.vanmook(a)gmail.com> Sent: Thursday, May 28, 2026 3:41:53 PM To: ripe-list(a)ripe.net <ripe-list(a)ripe.net> Subject: [ripe-list] In memoriam: Alan Barrett -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CAUTION : This email originated outside the company.

Alan died on May 28th in Cape Town, South Africa, following a diagnosis of late-stage cancer about a month ago. We are sharing this notice so that the community has accurate information at a moment when Kerry and the family need space to grieve. Alan was a friend, a willing listener, and someone who always stepped up to help when called upon. His contributions to the African Internet ecosystem were second to none, and with his passing we lose not only a friend but a giant of the industry. In 1990, Alan helped establish the very first Internet connection to South African universities, and in 1993 he co-founded the country's first commercial Internet Service Provider. In 1997 he co-authored the proposal to create AfriNIC and subsequently served on the steering committee tasked with bringing it into being. Alan served on the AfriNIC board from 2004 to 2009 and was a member of the NRO NC from 2004 to 2014. In 2015 he was appointed CEO of AfriNIC, a role he held until 2019. Beyond Africa, he was a central participant in the IANA Stewardship Transition Coordination Group, and until his death served on the ICANN board on behalf of the Address Supporting Organisation. Alan will be sorely missed by the community, his relatives and by his wife, Kerry. Kerry and the family ask for privacy at this time. We will be organising an online memorial in due course and will share details once they are available.
