We are looking for participation from community members in the trend identification sessions through their Supporting Organization (SO) or Advisory Committee (AC). ICANN will collaborate with SO and AC chairs and support teams to schedule sessions from March through May 2023. This program is a joint effort of the ICANN ecosystem to identify and track trends that are related to ICANN. This ensures that the opportunities and challenges are incorporated into current and future planning. Once trends are identified, ICANN will conduct a trend analysis and impact assessment. Significant shifts could result in adjustments to the strategic plan. Moreover, new trends or shifts in existing trends also impact the operating plans (five-year or annual) and/or budget, and are factored into the annual iteration of those plans as appropriate. All strategic outlook sessions will be conducted virtually, and community members are encouraged to join this important discussion. We look forward to your participation in this dialogue about ICANN planning and strategy. Thank you for your support in the ICANN planning process. REMINDER: Planning Prioritization Update The prioritization process is a step in the annual ICANN planning process, which will permit ICANN to receive input for the development of the FY25 Draft Plans. The Planning Prioritization Group comprises members of the ICANN stakeholder groups. ICANN is seeking from the chairs of the below stakeholder groups to nominate one member and one secondary-member by 7 April 2023: ASO | ALAC | GNSO/CSG | GNSO/CPH | GNSO/NCSG | ccNSO | GAC | RSSAC | SSAC The scope of activities to be prioritized are the Board-approved implementation work, such as PDP recommendations, Specific Review recommendations and the implementation of other non-policy and advice work. Please email the name of the members that you have nominated to planning(a)icann.org<mailto:planning@icann.org>, with a copy to the Policy Strategic Management team (policy-strat-mgt(a)icann.org<mailto:policy-strat-mgt@icann.org>). Moreover, ICANN has published the Planning Prioritization Framework (Version 3) on the ICANN Finance and Planning Community wiki workspace here (Planning Prioritization [r20.rs6.net]<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001W2peOMgUzGBj-OMx…> Framework V3 [r20.rs6.net]<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001W2peOMgUzGBj-OMx…>). The key elements of the framework have not changed; however, based on feedback received from a lessons learned session with the members of the FY24 planning prioritization process, ICANN has incorporated several recommendations into version 3.

Re: [council] [Ext] RE: GAC Communique
by Emily Barabas March 21, 2023

March 21, 2023

Hi Paul, Thanks for brainstorming potential new ways of working. For context, I think the main reason we currently use a single small team to organize the work is the quick turnaround needed for the Communique review. Council typically aims to have the review sent to the GAC before the GAC meets with the Board to go over any clarifying questions about the Communique. In some cases, our small teams on the relevant subjects may be dormant or may be meeting only on as-needed basis. It may be a challenge to get each of these groups to meet, consolidate responses, and have Council review the final draft in the target timeframe. In practice, we have encouraged relevant SMEs from the different subjects and groups to be a part of the Communique Review. The draft response always goes back to the full Council for review in case anything needs to be added or polished. With that said, we are still welcoming Councilors to sign up for the Communique Review small team, especially those with expertise in the Communique topics: * GAC Advice: IGO Protections, Registration Data Request System (RDRS), Privacy and Proxy Services * Issues of Importance: Subsequent Rounds of New gTLDs, DNS Abuse, Registration Data, Transparency in GNSO Participation (SOIs), Emergency Assistance Program Kind regards, Emily From: Paul McGrady <paul(a)elstermcgrady.com> Date: Monday, 20 March 2023 at 21:08 To: Emily Barabas <emily.barabas(a)icann.org>, "council(a)gnso.icann.org" <council(a)gnso.icann.org> Subject: [Ext] RE: [council] GAC Communique Thanks Emily. Not to mess with what has always worked in the past, but we have several small teams set up for most of the items in the communique. Would it make more sense to have those items referred to the respective Council small team (DNS Abuse, SubPro, REDDRESS system, etc.) for the relevant small team to draft a response? We can then take the “homeless” items and assign them to the relevant Council liaison (for example, whomever is the liaison for the Task Force that has raised the issue of the SOI expansion) to take the first cut at those? Could we just appoint someone then to gather those draft responses by date X rather than empaneling & doodling another small team? Just a thought.

Note to Tripti and Sally
by Thomas Rickert | rickert.law March 20, 2023

March 20, 2023

Dear colleagues, It was good to see most of you in person and I hope you had safe trips back home. As discussed during the wrap-up session, here comes my suggestion for a little note to be sent by our leadership to Tripti and Sally. Please chime in before the end of next Monday with any comments or suggestions you might have as I think we should send it soon after the end of ICANN76. All the best, Thomas Dear Tripti, dear Sally, when the GNSO Council met for its wrap-up session at the end of ICANN76, progress made during the recent weeks at ICANN was discussed. Councillors agreed, not least based on what they heard during sessions while being in Cancun, that there seems to be a noticable change, maybe even a cultural change, towards „getting things done“. With this note, we would like to express * the Council‘s support for this spirit of pragmatism and delivery whilst being appropriately diligent, * thank you and your Board and Org colleagues and * encourage you to continue with this approach. Kind regards, Sebastien Ducos

We are looking for participation from community members in the trend identification sessions through their Supporting Organization (SO) or Advisory Committee (AC). ICANN will collaborate with SO and AC chairs and support teams to schedule sessions from March through May 2023. This program is a joint effort of the ICANN ecosystem to identify and track trends that are related to ICANN. This ensures that the opportunities and challenges are incorporated into current and future planning. Once trends are identified, ICANN will conduct a trend analysis and impact assessment. Significant shifts could result in adjustments to the strategic plan. Moreover, new trends or shifts in existing trends also impact the operating plans (five-year or annual) and/or budget, and are factored into the annual iteration of those plans as appropriate. All strategic outlook sessions will be conducted virtually, and community members are encouraged to join this important discussion. We look forward to your participation in this dialogue about ICANN planning and strategy. Thank you for your support in the ICANN planning process. NEW: Planning Prioritization Update The prioritization process is a step in the annual ICANN planning process, which will permit ICANN to receive input for the development of the FY25 Draft Plans. The Planning Prioritization Group comprises members of the ICANN stakeholder groups. ICANN is seeking from the chairs of the below stakeholder groups to nominate one member and one secondary-member by 7 April 2023: ASO | ALAC | GNSO/CSG | GNSO/CPH | GNSO/NCSG | ccNSO | GAC | RSSAC | SSAC The scope of activities to be prioritized are the Board-approved implementation work, such as PDP recommendations, Specific Review recommendations and the implementation of other non-policy and advice work. Please email the name of the members that you have nominated to planning(a)icann.org<mailto:planning@icann.org>, with a copy to the Policy Strategic Management team (policy-strat-mgt(a)icann.org<mailto:policy-strat-mgt@icann.org>). Moreover, ICANN has published the Planning Prioritization Framework (Version 3) on the ICANN Finance and Planning Community wiki workspace here (Planning Prioritization [r20.rs6.net]<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001pEFJf17RkGVr4duK…> Framework V3 [r20.rs6.net]<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001pEFJf17RkGVr4duK…>). The key elements of the framework have not changed; however, based on feedback received from a lessons learned session with the members of the FY24 planning prioritization process, ICANN has incorporated several recommendations into version 3.
