NEW: Design/Translation/Print Deadlines

FRIDAY, 8 APRIL 2022: DESIGN DEADLINE.

If you require design assistance for your publication, you need to provide all the text, images, layout, and publication type/size requirements (i.e. newsletter vs. 1-pager vs. trifold, etc.). You will receive a maximum of 2 iterations of the publication. Please provide everything by Friday, 8 April.

Due to budget constraints, please keep in mind that all materials, new or updated, need to be evergreen.

FRIDAY, 29 APRIL 2022: TRANSLATION DEADLINE.

If your publication requires translation, please provide the final material(s) by Friday, 29 April. This ensures that there is enough time to translate the publication by the below print deadline. If your materials require design assistance (outlined above), please note that the final materials will have to be complete, including the edit/approval process, by this deadline in order to be translated.

FRIDAY, 6 MAY 2022: PRINT DEADLINE ONLY.

If you only need your publication printed, meaning your publication is ready to send directly to the printer and needs no translation or design/layout modifications, please provide the file to us along with the quantity you want printed and dimensions of the publication by Friday, 6 May.

Please send materials to chantelle.doerksen@icann.org.

NEW: Request for Input-GNSO's Statement of Interest

The GNSO Council has recently embarked on a review of its Statement of Interest (SOI) requirements to determine whether these are still fit for purpose, and if not, what updates should be considered. To this end, the GNSO SOI Task Force (TF) was formed. As part of its assignment, the TF is reaching out to the ICANN community to solicit input on the current use and experience with SOIs as well as suggestions for possible improvements.

We understand that some of you may use the SOI, either in its current form or a modified format, for your own purposes. We would be interested to hear about those experiences as well as any lessons learned that may help inform our recommendations. You are encouraged to share this information with your respective groups.

To provide input, please complete the following survey by 4 May at the latest.

Your input will be much appreciated!
