NEW: CCWG Auction Proceeds Held Community Webinar on Final Report 

On 7 July 2020,  the Co-Chairs of the Cross-Community Working Group on New gTLD Auction Proceeds (CCWG-AP) held a webinar about its Final Report. All of the ICANN Supporting Organizations and Advisory Committees are chartering organizations of the CCWG-AP. The primary purpose of this webinar was to provide information to the chartering organizations about final recommendations and answer questions as they consider CCWG-AP outputs.
NEW: Status of ICANN org’s Human Rights Impact Assessment Recommendations Implementation
From: Sally Costerton, Senior Advisor to President & Senior Vice President of Global Stakeholder Engagement

ICANN org has implemented nearly half of all recommendations in the year since publishing its first-ever internal Human Rights Impact Assessment (HRIA). The focus has been on improving relevant processes, practices, and policies that may impact human rights concerns within the areas under review. Building on this progress, ICANN org will implement additional work in conjunction with, and as a part of, ICANN's ongoing plans to improve organizational processes and procedures. ICANN org affirms its commitment to incorporate this work into the overall culture of ICANN in order to uphold the positive human rights impacts of our work and mitigate negative impacts, wherever possible.

NEW: Supporting the Work of Our Global Community over the Next Few Months: Leveraging Remote Participation
From: Sally Costerton, Senior Advisor to President & Senior Vice President of Global Stakeholder Engagement

ICANN serves a global community. Face-to-face engagement and remote participation are integral to our work, and act as the primary forms of interaction for our stakeholders and community. However, the COVID-19 pandemic is challenging this notion. Today, we find ourselves needing to look at a different mix of tools to ensure that the work being done by our global community can continue with minimal disruption. This includes looking at how we can support community activities remotely for the foreseeable future.

While we have no way of knowing with certainty when the world will return to normal or when social distancing guidelines will be eased, we are operating under the assumption that normal activities will not resume before September. ICANN anticipates holding no face-to-face meetings through September 2020. With that timeline in mind, ICANN org worked with leaders from our Supporting Organizations and Advisory Committees on their current list of activities, as defined by each community group, to determine which are the most necessary or practical to accomplish between now and September. ICANN org is also taking into account the Board's priorities in order to develop a comprehensive continuity work plan, which will drive and direct our actions and goals in the coming months.
