NEW: ICANN Public Meetings Survey

ICANN org is conducting a survey to determine individual comfort and tolerance for gatherings of ICANN Public Meeting participants and investigate the possibility of organizing ICANN72 in a hybrid format with virtual and in-person attendance in Seattle.

NEW: Improving How We Work with the ICANN Community on ICANN Public Meeting Planning

As part of its March 2021 decision to hold the upcoming ICANN71 Policy Forum as a virtual meeting, the ICANN Board agreed with the need for guidelines that can facilitate continuity and consistency in meeting planning and allow for transparency and accountability of the decisions that are made. Between January and April 2021, the ICANN org Meetings and Policy Development Support teams worked with the Supporting Organization (SO and Advisory Committee (AC) chairs to develop and finalize the guidelines. As ICANN community needs and priorities change and as we look toward an eventual return to in-person ICANN Public Meetings while continuing to enhance ICANN org support for remote participation, we will work with the SO and AC chairs to ensure that the guidelines also evolve to meet those changing needs and priorities.
