Whether you plan to attend ICANN 51 in Los Angeles in October or not - particularly if not - the pre-event policy briefing is well worth the time. In a tightly packed 90 mins one will get rapid-fire presentations from staff and essentially every major policy player! And be able to ask questions, something not always possible at the actual meeting. You have to register this week. joly posted: "The ICANN Policy Development Support Team will provide a Policy Update Webinar on Thursday 2 October 2014 at 6am and 3pm EDT (10:00 UTC and 19:00 UTC), summarizing policy activities across the ICANN policy development community including the ongoing Trans" [image: ICANN Adobe Connect] <http://isoc-ny.org/p2/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/ICANN-Adobe-Connect-e1402573430185.png>The *ICANN Policy Development Support Team <https://www.icann.org/policy>* will provide a *Policy Update Webinar <https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2014-09-17-en>* on *Thursday 2 October 2014 *at* 6am and 3pm EDT (10:00 UTC and 19:00 UTC)*, summarizing policy activities across the ICANN policy development community including the ongoing Transition of Stewardship of the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) Functions and the ICANN Accountability track efforts.
