Thanks Satish, I had a quick read of the report, all points of the survey we’re taken into consideration. Although the pre-ICANN meeting (or Day 0) is not part of the actual public meeting. It would be good to include in this report particularly the consideration of attracting newcomer is an objective of these meetings. An outline if the sessions of Day 0 will be enough.

Dear APRALO Community
Given the upheavals to its public meetings on account of the global pandemic, ICANN has been considering changes to its public meetings strategy.
To obtain community feedback, ICANN organized community-wide consultations through a session at ICANN69 and a community survey. The results of this consultative process have been published as a report (attached).
Some of the main recommendations of the report include:
- Continue the three-meeting schedule annually but increase concentrated time for cross-community policy work. - Reduce session overlap and conflicts to allow more opportunity for community-wide participation. - Determine goals and overall meeting objectives early in the planning process to facilitate more effective engagement and progress during the meetings. - Increase time for networking and develop better tools to support networking opportunities during virtual meetings. - Increase visual/video/graphic elements and encourage use of video cameras by all participants. - Add trained session facilitators. - When virtual, reduce the meeting length (fewer days/fewer hours per day) to prevent volunteer burnout. - Rotate the time zone for meetings among ICANN’s five geographic regions.
If you have any comments, questions or concerns about the recommendations of this report, pls raise them on this list or by mail to me. Since we have to provide our feedback by 18 Dec 2020, pls do provide your inputs latest by 17 Dec 2020.
With kind regards
satish
