A few things we would like to share with you:

Deadline: Friday, 4 October 2019.
  • ICANN booth – The booth will be a resource for the ICANN community. Please contact us (see below) if you or any of your members would like to volunteer at the booth, or use the booth as a place for small meet-ups, etc. Once we have a better idea, we will create a schedule reflecting this.
  • Technical community reception – Monday, 25 November 2019, 18:30-20:00 (IGF venue). Space will be limited, and the reception will be by invitation only. Please send us (see below) the names of any community members attending the IGF and they will receive an invitation. Deadline: Tuesday, 12 November 2019.

REMINDER: Invitation to Provide Feedback on the ICANN Board’s Proposed Public Interest Framework
Executive: Sally Costerton, Senior Vice President, Global Stakeholder Engagement

FOR: All Community Leaders

INFORMATION SHARING
From 18 September – 18 October 2019, a community consultation is taking place on the global public interest framework proposed by the ICANN Board. In reviewing the proposal, the ICANN Board is asking the ICANN community to consider the following questions for input to the ICANN Board:
  1. What are your thoughts on the proposed framework approach? Do you have any suggestions for how it could be improved?
  2. What are your thoughts on the proposed approach for decisions in the ICANN ecosystem to be accompanied by a consideration of their impact on the global public interest (as well as an explanation regarding what is meant by the GPI in the specific case)?
  3. How do you see this working for the Supporting Organization (SO), Advisory Committee (AC), constituency, group, review team, or cross-community working group (CCWG) to which you are contributing?

The global public interest is central to many of ICANN’s primary governance documents, and the ICANN Board hopes to play a role in facilitating a bottom-up, community-driven process to develop a framework as a toolkit for the ICANN community to consider the global public interest. These considerations would not change the process by which decisions are made but could instead serve as tools for the community to reinforce the commitment to the public interest and to demonstrate how specific recommendations, advice, and public comments are in the global public interest. This includes the ICANN community guiding the ICANN Board about the public interest determination the latter must make in its decisions.

To learn more about the framework, please read the discussion paper. Community feedback is welcome by Friday, 18 October 2019 via email at gpitoolkit@icann.org. After the community consultation, there will be a public session at ICANN66, followed by a Public Comment proceeding.
