Meeting invitation - REGISTER - First APRALO Fireside Chat: Let’s Talk about GNSO PDP 3.0 | Thursday, 26 May at 06:00 UTC
by ICANN At-Large Staff May 23, 2022

May 23, 2022

PLEASE REGISTER TO JOIN AND SHARE THIS INVITATION WITH ALL! English only Dear All, On behalf of the APRALO Policy Forum Co-Chairs, Justine Chew and Satish Babu, we invite you to participate in the inaugural APRALO Fireside chat: "Let’s Talk about GNSO PDP 3.0" on Thursday 26 May 2022 at 06:00 UTC for 60 minutes, where Justine will be chatting with her guest, Cheryl Langdon-Orr, the immediate past ALAC Liaison to the GNSO Council. Justine and Cheryl welcome you to join them in an informal conversation on a few key aspects of the Generic Names Supporting Organization (GNSO)'s operating procedure for consensus policy development for Generic Top-Level Domains (gTLDs). Given that a significant proportion of the At-Large Community's participation in ICANN policy-making is centered around its contributions towards consensus policies on gTLDs, it would be helpful for the At-Large Community to understand how the GNSO policy development process (GNSO PDP) works, and where and when At-Large participation in GNSO PDPs is needed. This can be facilitated through a general appreciation of the GNSO Operating Procedures and Related Documents such as the Policy Development Process (PDP) Manual, the Expedited GNSO Policy Development Process (EPDP) Manual, the GNSO Guidance Process (GGP) Manual, as well as the implementation of GNSO PDP 3.0 in introducing incremental improvements to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of GNSO PDPs. Do you feel daunted in reading or hearing about all these long-worded terms or references to multiple names and documents? Would you like a refresher on how At-Large plays a role in consensus policy development for gTLDs within ICANN? Do you want to find out how you can get involved in At-Large discussions on policy issues from an individual end user's perspective? Well then, please take the step in registering for and joining Justine and Cheryl's conversation on Thursday 26 May 2022 at 06:00 UTC. ZOOM Registration: https://icann.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJwqdOCuqDMuHNDchechIMBVvtXFUCBIlTxK [icann.zoom.us]<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/icann.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJwqdOCuq…> And if you have any, please let us have your questions on this topic in advance. You can submit them by emailing staff or posting them as comments here: https://community.icann.org/x/8g7CCw. Otherwise, just come along and ask your questions during the event. Agenda and joining details: https://community.icann.org/x/8g7CCw APRALO Fireside Chats wiki page: https://community.icann.org/x/TQ3CCw APRALO Policy Forum wiki page: https://community.icann.org/x/TwDQC If you require a dial-out please contact At-Large staff at staff(a)atlarge.icann.org<mailto:staff@atlarge.icann.org> with your preferred number.

Information Sharing NEW: ICANN73 Fellowship Program Participants Post-Meeting Report The Fellowship Program was founded in 2007, in order to create a broader and more diverse base of knowledgeable constituents from underserved and underrepresented communities around the world. As a result of the ICANN Fellowship Program review and community consultations, since ICANN65 the new process for the Program is in place. One of the key changes suggested by the community is that each Fellowship cohort will produce a post-meeting report to be publicly available, which has been piloted at ICANN63 and now is an integral part of the Program requirements. ICANN73 cohort of 31 Fellows, who participated in the virtual Community Forum, produced their post-meeting report.
