The Review of Reviews Cross Community Group [icann-community.atlassian.net]<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/icann-community.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces...> (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/bC9whfQ9Rx...> * Tuesday, 18 November, at 18:00 UTC [icann.zoom.us]<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/icann.zoom.us/meeting/register/RM3JPStlQW...> In the meantime, please consider: * Becoming a Reviews CCG observer [icann-community.atlassian.net]<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/icann-community.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces...>. * Following the Reviews CCG's work on its community workspace [icann-community.atlassian.net]<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/icann-community.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces...>. * Providing input [icann-community.atlassian.net]<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/icann-community.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces...> on the Reviews CCG's work or pre-submitting questions [icann-community.atlassian.net]<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/icann-community.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces...> 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-re...> 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.
