FYI: [http://r20.rs6.net/on.jsp?ca=daa41ff5-8d51-4aab-be11-c5de5816726c&a=1122025…] Thursday, 27 February 2020 ICANN Community Leadership Digest [https://files.constantcontact.com/304b3fd3501/31f30ab5-1445-45c3-aef7-c0ea4…] The ICANN org Policy Development Support function publishes this twice-weekly digest to help ICANN community leaders track requests and follow updates. This week marks the one-year anniversary of the ICANN Community Leadership Digest! After ICANN67, there will be a short survey to gather feedback and recommendations for continuous improvement. Thank you for reading. Table of Contents ICANN67 Planning · DUE TOMORROW: Areas of Interest from the ICANN Board for ICANN67 Constituency Day Information Sharing · REMINDER: EPDP Recommendation 17.2 Questionnaire · REMINDER: Nomination Period for ICANN Community Excellence Award 2020 Now Open Public Comment · CLOSES NEXT WEEK: Second Security, Stability, and Resiliency (SSR2) Review Team Draft Report · Initial Report of the Expedited Policy Development Process (EPDP) on the Temporary Specification for gTLD Registration Data Team – Phase 2 · Draft Proposal for NextGen@ICANN Program Improvements · Name Collision Analysis Project (NCAP) Study 1 · Middle East and Adjoining Countries (MEAC) Strategy 2021-2025 · Revised Community Travel Support Guidelines ICANN67 Planning DUE TOMORROW: Areas of Interest from the ICANN Board for ICANN67 Constituency Day From: Maarten Botterman, ICANN Board Chair ACTION ITEM As we continue working with you on the format of our engagement with your groups, we would like to experiment a new way of interacting by offering you to choose one or two area(s) of interest and having an open discussion with the Board on those, instead of asking you to come up with specific questions. We are also suggesting that the list of areas of interest be shared with the entire Community using this digest, in order to increase transparency and allow the groups to improve their own understanding of their peers’ point of views on different issues. As for time allocation, we propose to allocate the first part of our time together to be spent on your specific areas of interest, and to allow sufficient time to address the areas of interest indicated by the Board, if they have not been covered by that time. So you are aware, we are not changing the current total time allotted per group. In preparation for our meetings, the Board proposes the following areas of interest to have an open discussion with you: 1. Key priorities for action of ICANN constituencies in 2020 (e.g. prioritization of recommendations, streamlining of reviews, improve effectiveness of ICANN’s multistakeholder model, ...) 2. Specific developments coming up that ICANN constituencies feel need to be addressed when updating the ICANN Strategic Plan. We would be very grateful if you could send Board Operations, board-ops-team(a)icann.org<mailto:board-ops-team@icann.org>, your area(s) of interest, in order of priority, no later than Friday, 28 February 2020. We look forward to hearing your thoughts on our suggestions and on how to further improve our interaction. We thank you in advance for your time on this matter. Information Sharing REMINDER: EPDP Recommendation 17.2 Questionnaire From: Cyrus Namazi, Senior Vice President, Global Domains Division INFORMATION SHARING As part of ICANN org’s research for Recommendation 17.2 of the Expedited Policy Development Process on the Temporary Specification for gTLD Registration Data (EPDP) Phase 1 Final Report, the Global Domains Division (GDD) has prepared a short questionnaire to collect input on the risks, feasibility, and costs of differentiating between legal and natural persons in registration data directory services (RDDS).

Important Reminders and Updates from Council Leadership
by Drazek, Keith Feb. 26, 2020

Feb. 26, 2020

Hi all, Just a few important reminders following last week's Council meeting, and as we approach ICANN67: 1. If you were unable to attend the pre-ICANN 67 Policy Update Webinar, please listen to the Zoom recording: : https://icann.zoom.us/rec/play/tZQod-mrrm83HtWUtASDCvRxW9S8faOs2nAb__FbnUq2… 2. Also, please review the following: a. ICANN Policy Report: https://meetings.icann.org/en/cancun67/pre-icann67-policy-report-17feb20-en b. GNSO Policy Update: https://gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/file/field-file-attach/policy-br… 3. For the ICANN67 week, I have communicated to Maarten Botterman that the GNSO Council does not require a remote session with the ICANN Board, but that we remain available if the Board has specific topics they'd like to discuss. 4. The deadline for Councilor feedback on the two Project Change Requests (PCR) is tomorrow, Thursday 2/27. If we hear no objection, Council leadership will communicate approval of the PCRs to the leadership of the SubPro and RPM PDP WGs. 5. Please review the list of GNSO work items with your respective SG/Cs so we can discuss prioritizing the Council's work over the rest of 2020 and 2021. 6. Please review the attached Final Report from the IDN Scoping Team. We will soon begin the drafting of a charter for this PDP, even if we decide to defer initiating the work of the group. 7. Please review the attached 5 December letter from Goran concerning the Data Accuracy topic. We will need to determine our next steps. Thanks for your attention! Best, Keith
