Dear All,

I am writing you today, to let you know that the ccNSO Meetings Programme Committee is currently evaluating the feedback received following ICANN70.  Moreover, the MPC started planning for the upcoming virtual ICANN71 Policy Forum. As number of sessions will be held pre-ICANN71:

• 2 editions of the ccTLD community webinar, targeted at newcomers and those that would like to learn more about the work of the ccNSO
• 2 editions of the ccTLD News Session. The MPC will issue soon a call for presenters.

Regarding the ICANN71 ccNSO Members Meeting: Keep an eye out for the ccNSO ICANN meetings Workspace: https://community.icann.org/display/ccnsowkspc/ICANN+Meetings.

Information will be added as soon as it becomes available.

About the ICANN71 Policy Forum:

• Held as a Virtual Public Meeting during 14-17 June 2021.
• Sessions held during regular working hours in The Hague, Netherlands (CEST / UTC+2, Amsterdam/Paris).
• Prep Week will be held 31 May - 3 June 2021. The Prep Week schedule will be published on 17 May 2021.
• The Policy Forum schedule will be published on 24 May 2021.
• Registration, scheduling and all other information and updates will be posted here: https://71.schedule.icann.org/

Finally, I seek your feedback regarding potential ICANN71 plenary sessions, addressing topics of higher interest to the broader ICANN community. The SO/AC leaders kicked off the high-level planning for ICANN71. As the Governmental Regulatory Developments plenary topic originally scheduled for ICANN70 has been held over to ICANN71, this effectively means that we are looking at a maximum of two other plenary sessions.

Should you have suggestions for further topics of higher interest to be organized as a plenary sessions at ICANN71, your input is much appreciated. In case of new topics, kindly send me and joke.braeken@icann.org your suggestions, including:

• a proposed session title
• a short description of the session
• the rationale
• desired outcome
• session format and
• how other SO/ACs are involved.

The deadline for this is  Friday, 16 April - noon UTC).  Thank you and best regards,

Barbara Povše (MPC Chair)
