The following comment is submitted on behalf of Alejandra Reynoso, Vice-Chair, ccNSO Council. My comment is that ICANN88, Community Forum 20-25 March 2027, is set on what in Latin America is known as Holy Week. In academic contexts, this means a full week of holiday (Monday to Friday) and at a general context, the holiday is from Wednesday to Friday. Weather people are religious or not, it is a time to rest and/or be with the family (much like Christmas). I would strongly suggest to move it one week earlier (13-18 March 2027).

Meeting dates

Hi Thank you for the opportunity to comment on future meeting dates. Some people including myself have already made plans around the meeting dates in September 2022 and it could be an issue if it’s changed. The long term planning of meeting dates makes it possible for the community to plan to attend these important meetings and changes of announced dates, meeting venues etc. can disturb those plans and sometimes make it impossible for people to attend a meeting. I would like to thank you for moving the policy forum to mid June instead of late June. It will make it easier for a lot of people in Europe to attend the meetings I think, since it’s away from midsummer and just the general family holiday period. The March 2027 meeting is on Maundy Thursday which is a holiday here in Denmark and I think also some other countries. In general, the week of Easter will be an issue for very many people in the community. Even for people not religious, many people just use that week for a family holiday. Kind regards Kristian Ørmen
