From Stability to Survivability: ICANN's Role in the Future Of Internet Resilience
Monday March 9, 2026 10:45am - 12:00pm IST

Session Details
Is the Internet built to survive a global system failure? While the Domain Name System (DNS) remains stable, the environment it relies on – power grids, cloud providers, and global supply chains – is increasingly fragile.
This plenary session aims to shift the conversation from "technical stability" to "strategic survivability," exploring how the ICANN community must navigate systemic shocks that cross traditional silos. Moving beyond technical protocols, this plenary session will examine the hidden dependencies of the DNS and the emerging threats identified in SAC132 and the Marconi Society’s Internet Resilience Institute Report.
Join a cross-sector panel to debate ICANN's unique role in strengthening the ecosystem against catastrophic outages and to help define who bears the responsibility for global resilience in an age of cascading risk.
Moderators: Fiona Alexander (Salt Point Strategies) and Ram Mohan (SSAC).
Featuring: Danny McPherson (Verisign, Inc.), Shri M. A. K. P. Singh (CyberPeace), Bruce Tonkin (auDA), Paul Vixie (AWS), and Dan York (ISOC).

Session Details
This session will examine the intersection of Universal Acceptance (UA), broader digital inclusion, and the transformative impact of Artificial Intelligence (AI). We will explore how UA ensures that all domain names, email addresses, and digital identities function across systems. We will also situate this within the wider context of digital inclusion, addressing barriers to access, participation, and equity online. Additionally, we will analyze how AI can accelerate UA adoption, enhance multilingual and accessible digital experiences, and support inclusive technologies. We will also highlight potential risks, such as bias or exclusion. Participants will gain a concise, practical understanding of how UA, digital inclusion, and AI converge to create a more open and equitable digital ecosystem.
