REMINDER: Areas of Interest from the ICANN Board for ICANN67 Constituency Day From: Maarten Botterman, ICANN Board Chair INFORMATION SHARING Our first meeting of the year is approaching fast! The Board and I are very much looking forward to engaging with you during our Community Forum in Cancun, which is taking place from 7-12 March 2020. 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 the Policy 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. 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)>)<mailto:board-ops-team@icann.org)> your area(s) of interest, in order of priority, no later than Monday, 24 February 2020. So you are aware, we are not changing the current total time allotted per group. 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 and we look forward to welcoming you in Mexico! REMINDER: Opportunity for Strategic Outlook Trends Identification Sessions at ICANN67 Executive: Theresa Swinehart, Senior Vice President, Multistakeholder Strategy and Strategic Initiatives INFORMATION SHARING ICANN org will hold Strategic Outlook Trends Identification sessions with the community at ICANN67. To prepare for that exercise, ICANN org will be seeking community feedback on possible formats and arrangements which will be sent through each community group’s leadership. The Strategic Outlook program [r20.rs6.net]<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__r20.rs6.net_tn.jsp-3Ff-…> is a joint effort among ICANN org, the community, and ICANN Board to identify and track trends that relate to ICANN and its mission and to make sure that relating opportunities and challenges are incorporated into ICANN's current and future strategy. New trends or shifts in existing trends impacting the operating plans (five-year or annual), and/or budget, will be factored into the annual iteration of those plans as appropriate. Significant shifts could also result in adjustments to the strategic plan.

List of Future GNSO Work -- Please share with your SGs and Cs
by Drazek, Keith 08 Feb '20

08 Feb '20

Hi all, As a follow-up to our GNSO Council SPS discussions on work prioritization, I am attaching the list of known work items. You'll recognize this list as the subject material for the informal "sense of the room" survey we completed on Friday. The survey result will be included in our SPS Report as a reference, but, as we agreed, it is only informational. Please share this list with your respective SGs and Cs and begin your discussions about priorities for 2020 and 2021. We will discuss this further during our 20 February Council meeting, and also during our F2F meetings in Cancun. Those conversations will be productive only if you've socialized this list with your colleagues and have received some direction regarding your groups' top priorities. Thanks, Keith

NEW: Areas of Interest from the ICANN Board for ICANN67 Constituency Day From: Maarten Botterman, ICANN Board Chair INFORMATION SHARING Our first meeting of the year is approaching fast! The Board and I are very much looking forward to engaging with you during our Community Forum in Cancun, which is taking place from 7-12 March 2020. 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 the Policy 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. 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)>)<mailto:board-ops-team@icann.org)> your area(s) of interest, in order of priority, no later than Monday, 24 February 2020. So you are aware, we are not changing the current total time allotted per group. 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 and we look forward to welcoming you in Mexico!
