Requesting Your Feedback on ICANN74 [https://files.constantcontact.com/d2ded047401/21ec3125-b666-47b1-b2d3-99c7e…] By Sally Costerton, SVP, Global Stakeholder Engagement ICANN74 is our first hybrid Public Meeting in more than two years, and much has changed since our last meeting with in-person and remote participation. This meeting is not merely a return to the face-to-face meetings of the past; it is an experiment that will take us into the future. We have upgraded our services to encourage equal participation for remote and in-person attendees, and the in-person experience has evolved to better embrace inclusivity for all participants. To continue to advance and evolve the Public Meeting experience, we’d like to hear from you. Tell us what you think has worked well, and what needs to change. Please email us at icann74feedback(a)icann.org<mailto:icann74feedback@icann.org>. Thank you in advance; your feedback will help us continue to improve our Public Meetings going forward. ICANN NEWS SubPro ODP Update: The Operational Readiness Work Track [https://files.constantcontact.com/d2ded047401/f8eda975-b02b-4533-bb7f-d8e65…] By Karen Lentz, VP, Policy Research and Stakeholder Programs Over the last six months, I've shared information about the nine work tracks [r20.rs6.net]<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001ZpR7SqAcoL06NIjO…> that are supporting the New Generic Top-Level Domain (gTLD) Subsequent Procedures (SubPro) Operational Design Phase (ODP) to explain how the work is being organized. My latest update [r20.rs6.net]<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001ZpR7SqAcoL06NIjO…> highlighted Work Track 3: Operational Readiness. This track focuses on capacity planning, which is important because it helps determine the estimated time frames, staff, and budget required to cover operational preparation for future gTLD application rounds. The Final Report on the New gTLD SubPro Policy Development Process [r20.rs6.net]<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001ZpR7SqAcoL06NIjO…> included more than 300 outputs, ranging from simple to complex. Even the simple outputs, where it was recommended to maintain the status quo from the launch of the 2012 New gTLD Program, need to be updated to account for 10 years of change.

Thanks ICANN, thanks Fellowship Program!"

EUROPE, MIDDLE EAST, AND AFRICA (EMEA) FOCUS Opportunities and Challenges in Europe [https://files.constantcontact.com/d2ded047401/8cbf9776-eebc-4fe0-abdd-65b50…] ICANN’s work in the European region relies on strong partnerships and committed stakeholders to seize opportunities to support a single, globally interoperable Internet. We have honed our webinar skills during the Covid-19 pandemic, particularly through a focused U.K. stakeholder series, and have grown our audiences in the Nordic region and Central Europe. We also have had the pleasure of welcoming ICANN President and CEO Göran Marby to several capitals in the region to advance ICANN’s work. We continue to work with partners such as business associations, government agencies, country code top-level domain operators, nongovernmental organizations, and community members to raise awareness of ICANN’s role and open model. ICANN74 will further these aims. In terms of challenges, regulatory initiatives in many countries may result in unintended consequences to DNS operations, so we monitor and inform policymakers wherever necessary. No challenge is starker than the Russia-Ukraine conflict. It is not the first instance of war or unrest threatening DNS operations in Europe, and we are attuned to the needs of stakeholders in every affected country. MEET THE ICANN EMEA COMMUNITY [https://files.constantcontact.com/d2ded047401/0c4d0498-f6e0-4558-a690-d7c62…] Tatiana Tropina The Netherlands Tatiana Tropina is a lawyer and assistant professor of cybersecurity governance at Leiden University in the Netherlands. She became involved in ICANN in 2015 because of a strong belief in the multistakeholder model of governance and interest in DNS-related policy issues, especially accountability, security and stability, and DNS abuse. Currently a Nominating Committee appointee to the Country Code Names Supporting Organization (ccNSO) Council, Tropina also has participated in the Noncommercial Stakeholder Group within the GNSO. As she was appointed to the ccNSO Council less than a year ago, she plans to continue building her skills as a Councilor at the Policy Forum in The Hague and to continue engaging with the ccNSO community. Tropina is looking forward to seeing colleagues and friends in person at ICANN74 and to working together to increase the legitimacy of the multistakeholder model of governance and to ensure that the Internet's technical layer remains stable, secure, and interoperable. MEET THE ICANN74 FELLOWS [https://files.constantcontact.com/d2ded047401/75ed837f-2cbb-4678-9f73-43d60…] "The participation of civil society is one of the pillars of the multistakeholder model and requires that more voices unite and strengthen it." Jannett Ibañez Bolivia Jannett Ibañez is an information technology professional with a background in computer science. She has been engaged in several information and communication technology projects in Bolivia and was part of the .bo country code top-level domain team from 2016 to 2020, during which she began her involvement with the DNS and information security issues. Ibañez’s first ICANN meeting was ICANN60. She then became a fellow at ICANN62, spoke at Tech Day at ICANN68, and became a member of the Country Code Name Supporting Organization in 2019. She holds an Internet Governance Diploma from CETYS University. As secretary of human rights, Ibañez currently provides support on issues of information and communication technology, security, gender equality, and human rights to a women’s organization in Bolivia’s Caranavi Province. In addition, she is also a member of the Internet Society Gender Standing Group. In her free time, Ibañez enjoys nature, music, and trying out new vegetarian recipes. WELCOME NEXTGEN@ICANN PARTICIPANTS [https://files.constantcontact.com/d2ded047401/f8a82db5-feab-4bc7-90f0-f6ec9…] "At ICANN74, I would like to learn about the structures of ICANN and get to know the people behind the organizational charts." Juuso Järviniemi Finland Originally from Finland, Juuso Järviniemi currently lives in Brussels. He studied European Political and Governance Studies at the College of Europe in Bruges and has been active in the Young European Federalists (JEF-Europe) for many years. Järviniemi was first introduced to ICANN through a series of seminars about Internet governance and artificial intelligence held by JEF in 2021. ICANN74 will be Järviniemi’s first ICANN meeting, and he is motivated to learn more about ICANN's structure. With his background in political science and European studies, Järviniemi is especially interested in the intersection between EU policy and Internet governance, and topics like illegal content and WHOIS.
