Please also note the Communique refers to the situation in Ukraine and includes reference to relevant individual statements made by GAC members: "The GAC would like to reference the statements made by GAC members during the GAC Opening Plenary Session on the action taken by Russia against Ukraine and the related requests from Ukraine to ICANN and the GAC." (p.1.) Individual statements are in the session transcript available at: https://gac.icann.org/sessions/icann73-session-1-gac-opening-plenary. In a related matter, the UN Open-ended Working Group on security of and in the use of information and communications technologies just announced the next round of informal consultations to be held in March and July. Internet governance issues, including the safe and secure access to critical internet infrastructures in times of political conflict, are also on the agenda. Thus far the At-Large has not participated actively as a group in these proceedings. Should it prove useful, further guidance on how we might want to get involved, if at all, is welcome.
