Dear All, From 25-28 January, the ICANN Board will meet in Los Angeles, California, for its first workshop of calendar year 2019. The Board will be discussing many of the topics outlined in a previous blog<https://www.icann.org/news/blog/chair-s-blog-best-wishes-for-2019> post by Cherine Chalaby (Chair, ICANN Board of Directors), as well as his wrap-up<https://www.icann.org/news/blog/chair-s-blog-icann63-meeting-board-workshop> of ICANN63 and the Barcelona Board workshop. This includes some of the most-pressing issues impacting ICANN, such as ongoing efforts related to the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), a subsequent round of new generic top-level domain (gTLD) applications, and more. The ICANN Board will also hold multiple public sessions, including a public Board meeting.
