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.

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@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.
