The aim of this survey is to collect opinions from individuals and groups in the ICANN community on ICANN’s accountability and transparency, and to help the ATRT3 Review Team identify areas which require improvement and could benefit from a recommendation. The individual survey is available here: http://input.icann.org/go?iv=eupcis2ldyww The group survey (intended to capture group responses from ICANN community groups) is available here: http://input.icann.org/go?iv=3j46tfx0r5yzt Following the close of both surveys on Friday, 13 September 2019 at 23:59 UTC, the ATRT3 Review Team will evaluate responses as input to its draft final report. REMINDER: Submission Deadline for NCAP Study 1 RFP Extended Executive: David Conrad, Chief Technology Officer (CTO) FOR: All Community Leaders INFORMATION SHARING On 9 July 2019, the ICANN org opened an RFP to select a contractor to research and write Study 1 of the Name Collision Analysis Project (NCAP), a project overseen by SSAC at the request of the ICANN Board. Very few organizations indicated their intention to bid on this work, so the ICANN org decided to extend the deadline for proposal submission to Friday, 23 August 2019. More information <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001UpdT1Kg3IDKbWxRs60v6RiIrsrvCJ5eUaTGOWwKUq1dvp...>. All community leaders are encouraged to share this information with any organizations they believe might be interested and capable of performing the work. REMINDER: NextGen@ICANN Survey Executive: Sally Costerton, Senior Adviser to President and Senior Vice President, Global Stakeholder Engagement FOR: All Community Leaders INFORMATION SHARING The ICANN organization is initiating a community consultation <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001UpdT1Kg3IDKbWxRs60v6RiIrsrvCJ5eUaTGOWwKUq1dvp...> to identify improvement opportunities for the NextGen@ICANN Program <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001UpdT1Kg3IDKbWxRs60v6RiIrsrvCJ5eUaTGOWwKUq1dvp...>. The review will start with gathering community input via a survey about several aspects of the NextGen@ICANN Program, including its purpose, goals, processes, and synergies with the ICANN academic community. The survey <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001UpdT1Kg3IDKbWxRs60v6RiIrsrvCJ5eUaTGOWwKUq1dvp...> (PDF with background at the beginning and questionnaire questions at the end) is intended for all ICANN community groups; individuals are encouraged to work with their relevant Supporting Organizations, Advisory Committees, stakeholder groups, and constituencies. Responses are due Monday, 9 September 2019. Based on the input received from the survey, ICANN org will draft a proposal for program improvements that will be published for Public Comment. Once all feedback is received, ICANN org will prepare the final proposal for program improvements.

The PDP Working Group expects to publish its final report with its recommendations by December 2019. These recommendations may lead to procedural changes for subsequent rounds of gTLD applications, which ICANN org must implement and manage. In the course of our preparatory work toward the planning and implementation of the new policy, ICANN org has compiled a number of fundamental operationally focused assumptions to help with the preliminary planning and operational readiness of the organization. These are working assumptions informed by the current work of the Subsequent Procedures PDP Working Group. Depending on outcome of the PDP Working Group and community input, the assumptions may be updated. These assumptions have been shared with the ICANN Board, as well as the PDP Working Group and other parts of the community. ICANN org has held discussions and/or received input from the Subsequent Procedures PDP Working Group, GAC, ALAC, and RSSAC. ICANN org plans to summarize the community input received on the operational planning assumptions and share with the ICANN Board at its September workshop. Any community input received by Friday, 30 August 2019 will be included in the summary.
