BC members – this session could be interesting: This 60-minute engagement session will include three breakout rooms hosted by different Board members, each covering a different topic. Following a brief welcome plenary, community members will be asked to join one of the three breakout rooms for a 40-minute discussion with the Board hosts for that topic. Attendees will be able to move freely between the three breakout rooms. The session will conclude with all attendees coming together to hear each Board host’s summary of the discussions in their respective breakout rooms. Topic 1: FY26-30 Strategic Planning • Led by Maarten Botterman and Chris Buckridge• Description: Within this breakout room, the Board will solicit input from participants on the current development of the FY26-30 ICANN Strategic Plan, including sharing the primary themes identified from the input received via the environmental scan sessions. Topic 2: The Board’s Role & Responsibilities when Board-Adopted Policies Do Not Address the Problems They Were Developed to Solve• Led by Becky Burr and Alan Barrett• Format of the engagement: discussion and input• Description: In this breakout room, the Board hosts will invite community feedback on how to handle situations where it becomes clear that community-developed gTLD policies adopted by the Board are superseded by subsequent events or are otherwise not able to, or can no longer, resolve the problems they were designed to address. There is currently no Bylaw or process for such a circumstance, other than the Board requesting that the community initiate another full policy development process. As the Board continues to engage with the GNSO on this topic, the community is invited to brainstorm possible solutions.
