Community members are invited to join a short-term regional advisory group, that will help advise the GSE North America team on the development of the next iteration
of the North America Stakeholder Engagement Plan. This effort seeks community input to enhance the important work of stakeholder engagement across North America by actively soliciting input into ICANN policy and work processes.
This advisory group will be time-limited (February - May 2021), will include two webinars, and be directed toward answering specific questions. With help from
the community, the team hopes to surface implementable ideas with measurable impact to enhance engagement.

REMINDER:
Revised Operational Design Phase Concept Paper
From: Theresa Swinehart, Senior Vice President,
Global Domains & Strategy
ICANN org has shared a revised version of the
Operational
Design Phase Concept Paper. The new version follows community consultation during
ICANN69, including written feedback by a number of community groups.
The concept paper proposes an Operational Design Phase (ODP) that is to become part of the policy and implementation life cycle. The ICANN organization will conduct
the ODP for consensus policy recommendations that are approved by the Generic Names Supporting Organization (GNSO) Council. The purpose of the ODP is to provide the Board with relevant information to decide, as required by the Bylaws, whether a recommendation
is in the best interest of the ICANN community or ICANN.
