On Wednesday March 12 2025, at 10:30-12:00 PDT (17:30-19:00 UTC) the Dynamic Coalition on Core Internet Values (DC-CIV) and the At-Large Advisory Committee (ALAC) will host a session 'Core Internet Values: Evolution and Challenges for ICANN"\' at the ICANN 82 Community Forum in Seattle, Washington.

The concept of core Internet values has been a cornerstone of the Internet’s architecture. However, with seismic shifts in technology, governance models, and geopolitical dynamics, these values require adjustment to remain relevant in today’s rapidly evolving environment. This session will examine how such adjustments could affect ICANN’s remit and mission. It will explore the balance between preserving foundational principles and adapting to emerging realities, leveraging insights from technological, governance, and geopolitical trends, alongside ICANN’s operational experience. The discussion will identify necessary changes, their implications for ICANN, and strategies to address these challenges while upholding its core purpose.
