*REGISTRATION* APRALO Policy Forum Webinar: “ICANN Global Public Interest Framework” on Monday, 24 November 2025 at 06:00 UTC
by ICANN At-Large Staff Nov. 23, 2025

Nov. 23, 2025

Dear All, Please join us for the APRALO Policy Forum Webinar: “ICANN Global Public Interest Framework”, scheduled on Monday, 24 November 2025 at 06:00 UTC for 60 minutes. The ICANN Global Public Interest Framework (GPIF)<https://icann-community.atlassian.net/wiki/download/attachments/109576887/G…> is a set of guidelines developed to help the ICANN community understand how ICANN Board decisions relate to the global public interest. It was designed to facilitate a bottom-up, multistakeholder approach to identifying the public interest in decisions, but not to change how those decisions are made. The framework underwent a pilot program - completed in October 2023 - and now offers a toolkit - the GPIF Checklist<https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1uVOXywoowxvM1Hn5GuCkkinuZiMc4smc/ed…> - for community groups to use voluntarily (see: ICANN wiki<https://icann-community.atlassian.net/wiki/x/twKIBg>). Join the APRALO Policy Forum Webinar on 24 November 2025 at 06:00 UTC for 60 minutes, where Barkha Manral will be inviting Avri Doria, a co-chair of ICANN’s Review of Reviews Cross Community Group (RoR CCG), co-chair of the At Large Consolidated Policy Working Group (CPWG) and former ICANN Board Member, to discuss the GPIF, and where participants can expect to gain an understanding of: * The origins of the Global Public Interest Framework (GPIF): why it was developed, how it works. * How the ICANN Board has used the GPIF in its decision-making. * How the At-Large community can leverage the GPIF in its own policy and advocacy work. * Opportunities to evolve and shape the future application of the GPIF. For other times: https://tinyurl.com/9mrmzryr The agenda and call details can be found at: https://icann-community.atlassian.net/wiki/x/XIELJ Zoom Registration Link: https://icann.zoom.us/meeting/register/7j1BbrG7TSqMZdI9KNASVw (After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting.)

Slight Extension - 23 November: Call for Expressions of Interest – ICANN Board Seat 15 (2025–2026 Cycle)
by Heidi Ullrich Nov. 21, 2025

Nov. 21, 2025

Dear All, The BCEC has agreed to a slight extension of the deadline for Expressions of Interest (EOI) to serve as the next ICANN Board Director nominated by the At-Large Community (Seat 15). The deadline to submit a completed EOI has been extended to Sunday, 23 November at 23:59 UTC. How to apply: 1. Review the requirements – At-Large Board Member Candidate Requirements 2025-2026<https://icann-community.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/atlarge/pages/483065909> – Candidate Reference Links & Resources<https://icann-community.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/atlarge/pages/517800468> Please pay special attention to the “Additional Bylaws Qualifications” section to confirm your eligibility. 2. Email the BCEC Staff – Send a brief note indicating your interest to bcec-staff(a)icann.org<mailto:bcec-staff@icann.org>. – Staff will provide you access to the online EoI Form. 3. Complete the EOI Form – Submit by 23:59 UTC on Sunday, 23 November 2025. – List three to four referees who are willing to provide a written reference at short notice. Kind regards, BCEC Support Staff From: Heidi Ullrich <Heidi.Ullrich(a)icann.org> Date: Friday, October 17, 2025 at 12:29 PM To: "alac-announce(a)icann.org" <alac-announce(a)icann.org> Subject: Call for Expressions of Interest – ICANN Board Seat 15 (2025–2026 Cycle) ** La version francaise est en dessous de la version anglaise. ** ** La versión en español está debajo de la versión en francés.** ** Dear At-Large Community Members, On behalf of the Board Candidate Evaluation Committee (BCEC), we invite Expressions of Interest (EOI) from individuals who would like to serve as the ICANN Board Director nominated by the At-Large Community (Seat 15). The successful candidate will begin a three-year term at the close of ICANN87 (2026 Annual General Meeting). Why does this matter? Seat 15 is the only ICANN Board seat chosen directly by the At-Large Community. It has been held since ICANN60 (2017 AGM) by León Sánchez, whose third and final term ends at ICANN87. This is a rare opportunity for an At-Large leader to bring their knowledge and experience to ICANN’s highest level of governance. About the selection process: The BCEC defines candidate requirements, issues the call for applications, and evaluates submissions. The Board Member Selection Process Committee (BMSPC) oversees the timeline and election. Both groups have regionally balanced membership and operate under a strict code of conduct and confidentiality. Regional At-Large Organizations (RALOs) may petition to add candidates to the slate. Unsuccessful applicants may have opted for their candidacy to be considered by the RALOs after the BCEC slate is published. The full process is expected to conclude no later than 22 April 2026, when the selected candidate to be nominated as an ICANN Board Member will be announced. For full information, visit the At-Large Board Member Selection Home – 2025-2026<https://icann-community.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/ABMS/pages/394657793>. How to apply: 1. Review the requirements – At-Large Board Member Candidate Requirements 2025-2026<https://icann-community.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/atlarge/pages/483065909> – Candidate Reference Links & Resources<https://icann-community.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/atlarge/pages/517800468> Please pay special attention to the “Additional Bylaws Qualifications” section to confirm your eligibility. 2. Email the BCEC Staff – Send a brief note indicating your interest to bcec-staff(a)icann.org<mailto:bcec-staff@icann.org>. – Staff will provide you access to the online EoI Form. 3. Complete the EOI Form – Submit by 23:59 UTC on Friday, 21 November 2025. – List three to four referees who are willing to provide a written reference at short notice. Questions? Please email bcec-staff(a)icann.org<mailto:bcec-staff@icann.org> for clarification. This is your opportunity to contribute your experience, vision, and commitment at ICANN’s highest level of decision-making. We encourage all qualified individuals to step forward. ICANN Policy Staff supporting the At-Large Community ** Sujet : Appel à manifestations d’intérêt pour le siège 15 du Conseil d’administration de l’ICANN (cycle 2025-2026) Chers membres de la communauté At-Large, Au nom du Comité d’évaluation des candidats au Conseil d’administration (BCEC), nous avons le plaisir de lancer un appel à manifestation d’intérêt pour le poste d’administrateur nominé par la communauté At-Large au Conseil d’administration de l’ICANN (siège 15). La personne retenue entamera un mandat de trois ans à l’issue de l’ICANN87 (Réunion générale annuelle de 2026). Pourquoi cela est-il important ? Le siège 15 est le seul siège du Conseil d’administration de l’ICANN qui soit directement pourvu par la communauté At-Large. Occupé depuis l’ICANN60 (Réunion générale annuelle 2017) par León Sánchez, dont le troisième et dernier mandat s’achèvera à l’ICANN87, ce poste représente une occasion unique pour un leader de la communauté At-Large d’apporter ses connaissances et son expérience au plus haut niveau de la gouvernance de l’ICANN. Le processus de sélection : Le BCEC est chargé de définir les critères de candidature, de publier l’appel à candidatures et d’évaluer les dossiers. De son côté, le Comité chargé du processus de sélection d’un membre du Conseil d’administration (BMSPC) supervise le calendrier et le déroulement de l’élection. Les deux groupes, équilibrés sur le plan régional au niveau de leur composition, s’acquittent de leurs tâches suivant un code de conduite et des règles de confidentialité des plus stricts. Les organisations régionales At-Large (RALO) peuvent proposer l’ajout de noms à la liste des candidats. Les candidats non retenus peuvent avoir choisi que leur candidature soit examinée par les RALO après la publication de la liste du BCEC. L’ensemble du processus devrait s’achever au plus tard le 22 avril 2026, date à laquelle sera annoncé le nom du nouvel administrateur.

*REGISTRATION* APRALO Policy Forum Webinar: “ICANN Global Public Interest Framework” on Monday, 24 November 2025 at 06:00 UTC
by ICANN At-Large Staff Nov. 19, 2025

Nov. 19, 2025

Dear All, Please join us for the APRALO Policy Forum Webinar: “ICANN Global Public Interest Framework”, scheduled on Monday, 24 November 2025 at 06:00 UTC for 60 minutes. The ICANN Global Public Interest Framework (GPIF)<https://icann-community.atlassian.net/wiki/download/attachments/109576887/G…> is a set of guidelines developed to help the ICANN community understand how ICANN Board decisions relate to the global public interest. It was designed to facilitate a bottom-up, multistakeholder approach to identifying the public interest in decisions, but not to change how those decisions are made. The framework underwent a pilot program - completed in October 2023 - and now offers a toolkit - the GPIF Checklist<https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1uVOXywoowxvM1Hn5GuCkkinuZiMc4smc/ed…> - for community groups to use voluntarily (see: ICANN wiki<https://icann-community.atlassian.net/wiki/x/twKIBg>). Join the APRALO Policy Forum Webinar on 24 November 2025 at 06:00 UTC for 60 minutes, where Barkha Manral will be inviting Avri Doria, a co-chair of ICANN’s Review of Reviews Cross Community Group (RoR CCG), co-chair of the At Large Consolidated Policy Working Group (CPWG) and former ICANN Board Member, to discuss the GPIF, and where participants can expect to gain an understanding of: * The origins of the Global Public Interest Framework (GPIF): why it was developed, how it works. * How the ICANN Board has used the GPIF in its decision-making. * How the At-Large community can leverage the GPIF in its own policy and advocacy work. * Opportunities to evolve and shape the future application of the GPIF. For other times: https://tinyurl.com/9mrmzryr The agenda and call details can be found at: https://icann-community.atlassian.net/wiki/x/XIELJ Zoom Registration Link: https://icann.zoom.us/meeting/register/7j1BbrG7TSqMZdI9KNASVw (After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting.)

Tuesday 18 November - *REGISTRATION* WEBINAR - Advancing the ICANN Reviews Conversation: Join the Cross Community Group Webinars
by ICANN At-Large Staff Nov. 17, 2025

Nov. 17, 2025

IMPORTANT WEBINARS https://www.icann.org/en/announcements/details/advancing-the-icann-reviews-… The Review of Reviews Cross Community Group [icann-community.atlassian.net]<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/icann-community.atlassian.net/wiki/space…> (CCG) invites the community to continue the conversations about ICANN Reviews during webinars on Tuesday, 18 November 2025. To accommodate participants in multiple time zones, the CCG will host two 90-minute sessions. Data-gathering is important to the CCG's fact-finding phase. Participants are invited to share their views on the successes and challenges of past reviews (e.g., topics, structure, time frames, and recommendations). Input on how to shape a refreshed review system will also be welcome. All community members – including those new to ICANN Reviews – are encouraged to attend by registering for one, or both, of the sessions: * Tuesday, 18 November, at 06:00 UTC [icann.zoom.us]<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/icann.zoom.us/meeting/register/bC9whfQ9R…> * Tuesday, 18 November, at 18:00 UTC [icann.zoom.us]<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/icann.zoom.us/meeting/register/RM3JPStlQ…> In the meantime, please consider: * Becoming a Reviews CCG observer [icann-community.atlassian.net]<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/icann-community.atlassian.net/wiki/space…>. * Following the Reviews CCG's work on its community workspace [icann-community.atlassian.net]<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/icann-community.atlassian.net/wiki/space…>. * Providing input [icann-community.atlassian.net]<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/icann-community.atlassian.net/wiki/space…> on the Reviews CCG's work or pre-submitting questions [icann-community.atlassian.net]<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/icann-community.atlassian.net/wiki/space…> for the sessions. Background In May 2025, the ICANN Board approved a set of resolutions<https://www.icann.org/en/board-activities-and-meetings/materials/approved-r…> calling for a community dialogue to design a review program that is fit for the intended purposes of enhancing ICANN's accountability, transparency, and effectiveness. These decisions followed discussions in which the Board and community identified the need to take a fresh approach to reviews. On 5 September 2025, the Board approved<https://www.icann.org/en/board-activities-and-meetings/materials/secretarys…> a charter submitted by the Supporting Organizations (SOs) and Advisory Committees (ACs). The Review of Reviews CCG, which began its work in September 2025, is a collaborative effort that brings together ICANN SOs, ACs, ICANN Board members, and the ICANN organization to manage a fundamental evaluation of the reviews set out in the ICANN Bylaws, as a whole system, including their implementation, and propose a refreshed system of reviews. More information about the Review of Reviews and the CCG can be found on its community workspace [icann-community.atlassian.net]<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/icann-community.atlassian.net/wiki/space…>.
