Dear Councillors

As mentioned during our last meeting, we have homework to do. We will need to come up with a list of topics we would like to discuss with the ICANN Board at our joint session in Dublin.

So far we have:

• WSIS+20:

1. Examples of good internet governance and multi stakeholder activities, such as:
1. RSS GWG | Root Server System Governance Working Group
2. ICP-2 | Internet Coordination Policy 2
3. ccNSO PGA | Policy Gap Analysis
4. Topics discussed in the GAC
2. Consistent messages of success in this area. Making sure we are on the same page.
3. Background:
1. https://ccnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/field-attached/reynoso-to-costerton-sinha-15jul24-en.pdf
2. https://ccnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/field-attached/costerton-to-reynoso-25jul24-en.pdf

Questions form my end: How does it relate to the work of the informal WSIS+20 Discussion Group work? What are we trying to achieve when we raise the topic?

• Unresolved issue from previous joint meetings – Playbook for Bylaw Amendments. Goal is to understand how a bylaw change procedure will be initiated under the different scenarios ) SO/AC request, per review, per PDP and timeline from request to approval/ non-rejection

1. First mentioned in Hamburg (Oct 2023)
2. A Playbook was promised in Istanbul (Nov 2024)
3. In Seattle (Mar 2025) ICANN Legal mentioned at the SO/AC Chairs Roundtable that the Playbook was going to be shared in a couple of weeks

As you saw in the email we received from Tripti, the Board would like to have our topics/questions by Friday 17 October. Sounds a bit far, but time flies! Please use this thread to suggest your topics as soon as possible.

Best regards,
Alejandra
