Dear All, 

Please join us for the APRALO Policy Forum Webinar: “ICANN Global Public Interest Framework”, scheduled on Monday, 24 November 2025 at 06:00 UTC for 60 minutes.

The ICANN Global Public Interest Framework (GPIF) is a set of guidelines developed to help the ICANN community understand how ICANN Board decisions relate to the global public interest. It was designed to facilitate a bottom-up, multistakeholder approach to identifying the public interest in decisions, but not to change how those decisions are made. The framework underwent a pilot program - completed in October 2023 - and now offers a toolkit - the GPIF Checklist - for community groups to use voluntarily (see: ICANN wiki).

Join the APRALO Policy Forum Webinar on 24 November 2025 at 06:00 UTC for 60 minutes, where Barkha Manral will be inviting Avri Doria, a co-chair of ICANN’s Review of Reviews Cross Community Group (RoR CCG), co-chair of the At Large Consolidated Policy Working Group (CPWG) and former ICANN Board Member, to discuss the GPIF, and where participants can expect to gain an understanding of:

• The origins of the Global Public Interest Framework (GPIF): why it was developed, how it works.
• How the ICANN Board has used the GPIF in its decision-making.
• How the At-Large community can leverage the GPIF in its own policy and advocacy work.
• Opportunities to evolve and shape the future application of the GPIF.
