kia ora (hello) everyone I'm writing to seek your input for the session coming up at ICANN 70, where ccNSO related ICANN Board members and the ICANN Board Chair and Vice Chair are joining the ccNSO for a Q&A Session. I have the joy of convening / MCing this session. This is to the participants and to the ccNSO Council, to ask for your help in identifying any topics we'd like to discuss. My own questions which I am happy to start off are here. They are just my thoughts. They might inspire your thoughts. *When we resume in-person meetings as the Pandemic fades, we will probably need to change how ICANN meetings work. We will need to use precious in-person moments to bring new participants into the fold, and restore and grow relationships. What are the practical implications for the ICANN meeting strategy - not in terms of frequency, or in-person v remote, but in terms of what we actually do when we are together? Does it mean more time on combined social and working events? Less time on "content"? What are your thoughts?* *The ICANN System could be said to suffer from review-itis. In a ccNSO-GNSO Council discussion (last) week, someone flagged the notion of taking a year out. There might be benefits in having the odd year with no reviews under way, to allow the community and org to focus on the work we are all here to do. What are your reflections on the reviews situation?* *If you have other thoughts please share them with us by return email.* Also, just a point about the process. We have an hour long slot and we have seven of you. We have the normal challenge of a Board Chair being in the room and people often deferring to them. If we only speak about the two topics above, we can have each board member with some time to share their thoughts. But if we have more topics, we will have to just be selective. As such, from the Board members, could you nominate one of you who I can work with to triage 'who will tackle what' on the day? Finally, for those who have not been part of this session before, I am for an informal and friendly approach, with some time reserved for people to raise questions they think of. Only the time management aspects will see me being particularly firm. Thanks in advance for your thoughts! bests Jordan -- *Jordan Carter (he/him)* Group Chief Executive *InternetNZ | Ipurangi Aotearoa* Helping New Zealanders harness the power of the Internet www.internetnz.nz *M* +64 21 442 649 *O* +64 4 555 0123 [image: InternetNZ]
