Communities may choose to appoint program alumni and are encouraged to appoint active community members who have an interest in mentoring students.

Learn more about the guidelines and expectations for Mentors and for the Selection Committee. NEW: Enhancing the Effectiveness of ICANN’s Multistakeholder Model Moves into Implementation Author: Maarten Botterman, Chair, ICANN Board of Directors Last year, the ICANN Board initiated a project aimed at enhancing the effectiveness of ICANN's multistakeholder model – one of the strategic objectives outlined in ICANN's Strategic Plan for Fiscal Years (FY) 2021-2025. This effort is critical to ensuring that the multistakeholder model is able to evolve and meet the ever-changing needs of ICANN's global community. In June, the Board posted its paper, "Enhancing the Effectiveness of ICANN's Multistakeholder Model – Next Steps," for Public Comment. The paper lays out a comprehensive plan for continuous improvement of the multistakeholder model. Following the close of the Public Comment period in August, the Board worked to incorporate the community's input into an updated version of the paper, which is available here. With the ICANN Board paper now finalized, this project is moving into the 'implementation planning' phase, where the plan will be converted into a set of proposed actions, with resource allocation, and will be scheduled for implementation according to the agreed-upon level of priority. Learn more. REMINDER: ICANN69 Topics for Joint Meetings with the ICANN Board Please refer to this workspace for a compilation of areas of interest submitted by ICANN community groups for discussion with the ICANN Board at the ICANN69 Virtual Annual General Meeting. The workspace will be updated as changes are received. Here are the groups that have submitted topics: At-Large Advisory Committee (ALAC) Country Code Names Supporting Organization (ccNSO) Generic Names Supporting Organization (GNSO) Council Commercial Stakeholder Group (CSG) Contracted Parties House (CPH) Noncommercial Stakeholder Group (NCSG) Governmental Advisory Committee (GAC) Root Server System Advisory Committee (RSSAC) Security and Stability Advisory Committee (SSAC) REMINDER: ICANN69 Social Media Sharing Campaign To get the community excited about and engaged with ICANN69, ICANN is launching a new social media campaign. For ICANN67, the campaign asked participants to share photos of their workspace; for ICANN68, we asked for photos of the city from where participants joined the meeting. For ICANN69, the campaign is called #ICANNintermission. This time, we are asking members of the ICANN community, ICANN Board, and ICANN org to send us photos of what they like to do between sessions (yoga, going for a run, playing with their pets, playing soccer with their kids, etc.). We need a few photos to get the campaign started! Photos need to be in landscape mode, (see example above) preferably with the subject in the center to crop the image. Please provide the city and any other information you want to let us know. Send photos and information to icanncontent(a)icann.org. REMINDER: Making ICANN Public Meetings Work for You From: Göran Marby, ICANN President and CEO The ICANN Board is seeking community feedback to assess the effectiveness of our virtual Public Meetings, the improvements that the org should make to its support for the community’s work at meetings, and any other aspects that should be integrated into our in-person meeting strategy going forward. ICANN org is sending a survey to our Supporting Organization (SO) and Advisory Committee (AC) chairs to spark a discussion within each group, as this discussion belongs to the community. The chairs will then coordinate and consolidate their respective group’s feedback. The Board will also host a session at ICANN69 to continue the conversation with the community about our meeting strategy. The survey will serve as a guidepost for those discussions. Participate in the ICANN69 Board/Community Focus on Meetings Session on Monday, 19 October 2020 at 12:30 UTC. Learn more. REMINDER: Information Transparency Initiative Update: New Content Available for Your Feedback From: Sally Newell Cohen, ICANN Senior Vice President, Global Communications As ICANN org President and CEO Göran Marby announced in his May 2020 blog, the Information Transparency Initiative (ITI) team is releasing new content to https://preview.icann.org, and content on https://icann.org has been improved with ITI’s enhanced search features. New and improved content includes: Correspondence - New findability improvements include keyword(s) search allowing you to narrow your search within Correspondence files, an advanced year selector, a helpful sub-navigation menu, and an improved table layout to enhance accessibility and readability. Board Meeting Materials - We’ve made upgrades to this content type since the May 2020 release.

Acronyms and Terms - Enhancements to the existing release include alignment with ITI’s new user experience, additional terms added in all six U.N. languages, and a new sub-navigation menu.

Oct. 15, 2020

Dear Councillors, I am referring to the message by Nigel Roberts, where he mentioned that he withdraws his name for consideration for the Board Seat 12 term that is scheduled to start in October 2021. Please find Nigel’s message attached. This is to confirm that an election will continue to be held - starting on 4 November 2020 (00:01 UTC), according to the timeline previously agreed upon by the ccNSO Council. The ballot will include 2 options: - the name of the candidate (one) - none of the above When selecting "None of the above", a ccTLD Manager believes that the candidate listed is not qualified to serve on the ICANN Board of Directors. A formal election notice will be posted on the ccNSO website and circulated on the ccNSO members mailing list, closer to the start of the elections. Background The ccNSO Council and ccNSO members have agreed that the ccNSO members shall propose and elect candidates for the two ICANN Board seats allocated to the ccNSO, and that the winner of said election - i.e. the candidate that receives the majority of the votes cast - shall in turn be nominated to the ICANN Board seat by a majority vote of the ccNSO Council. * Announcement call for nominations<https://ccnso.icann.org/en/announcements/announcement-08jun20-en.htm> * Announcement closure call for nominations<https://ccnso.icann.org/en/announcements/announcement-01jul20-en.htm> * Announcement extension acceptance deadline<https://ccnso.icann.org/en/announcements/announcement-08jul20-en.htm> * Archive for nominations and secondments<https://mm.icann.org/pipermail/ccnso-boardnominations/> * Relevant ccNSO guideline<https://ccnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/field-attached/ccnso-nomination…> * Timeline<https://ccnso.icann.org/en/workinggroups/timeline-nomination-icann-board-se…> (v2) * Announcement candidate list<https://ccnso.icann.org/en/announcements/announcement-2-16jul20-en.htm> Best regards, The Nomination Process Manager Joke Braeken ccNSO Policy Advisor joke.braeken(a)icann.org On 15/10/2020, 15:05, "Nigel Roberts" <nigel(a)channelisles.net> wrote: Sending this to you as Election Manager.
