Information Sharing NEW: Implementation Operations team interactive update on the ‘Enhancing ICANN’s Multistakeholder Model (MSM)’ Project In 2019, 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. The Implementation Operations team is offering an up to 30 min interactive update on this project, more specifically on the evaluation methodology, which is used to assess the current projects/initiatives that are supporting the MSM. If you like this update to be part of your constituency/committee ICANN75 agenda, please email giovanni.seppia@icann.org and/or negar.farzinnia@icann.org. We look forward to working together on enhancing ICANN’s MSM. NEW: SubPro ODP Update: Focus on the Systems and Tools Work Track Throughout our work on the new generic top-level domain (gTLD) Subsequent Procedures (SubPro) Operational Design Phase (ODP), I've been communicating about how this effort is organized. In my last blog, I wrote about Work Track 3, Operational Readiness. Closely paired with that effort is Work Track 4, Systems and Tools. It includes the proposal, design, and implementation of secure, private, and efficient systems for future gTLD application rounds. Developing the processes for ongoing maintenance and continuous improvement is also included in this track. Read more.
