Zoom room in English only. Description: What will happen with Closed Generics in subsequent rounds? The 2012 Applicant Guidebook was silent on the concept of generic terms (i.e. books, perfume, etc.) being used by a single company, or “closed.” The GAC advised against them unless they were in the global public interest but left that undefined. Given the lack of consensus, coming out of the Subsequent Procedures Workgroup, there is currently no policy in place, leaving the development of a policy on Closed Generics in the hands of the board. In this session, we will discuss the possible scenarios in which closed generics could be authorized and endeavour to advance the discussion, prior to board consideration. ----------------------------------------------- * Tuesday 19 October from 17:00-18:30 UTC - At-Large Policy Session 2: Tackling DNS Abuse<https://community.icann.org/display/atlarge/At-Large+Meetings+-+Tuesday%2C+1...> Moderator: Joanna Kulesza, ALAC Guest Speakers: Lori Schulman - IPC, Brian Cimbolic - Public Interest Registry, Graeme Bunton - DNS Abuse Institute, James Bladel - VP of Global Policy at GoDaddy Zoom Registration: https://icann.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJIrcuGorz0oG9VC2VspyYovClX6tTyMzWdL Interpretation: English, Français, Español (to join the language channels, please see here: https://community.icann.org/x/fwyHCg).

Looking at automated content moderation within platforms, is asks the questions of recommendable policy solutions to best address end user needs and concerns. ----------------------------------------------- * Wednesday 20 October from 17:00-18:00 UTC and 18:30-19:30 UTC - At-Large Policy Session 3: ICANN Accountability and Transparency and the ICANN Reviews (part 1)<https://community.icann.org/display/atlarge/At-Large+Meetings+-+Wednesday%2C+20+October+2021>(part 2) Moderators: Sébastien Bachollet and Heather Forrest Guest speakers: please see list here<https://community.icann.org/display/atlarge/At-Large+Meetings+-+Wednesday%2C...> Zoom Registration (valid for part 1 & 2): https://icann.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJwpdeCtqD8pGdCfGN3LUBf5ctJCniJsS3dY Interpretation: English, Français, Español, Русский (to join the language channels, please see here: https://community.icann.org/x/9gVyCg).
