SOs/ACs are being asked to provide guidance on diversity goals for the program. These may include, but are not limited to, skills and experience, stakeholder group affiliation, region, gender, and language. ICANN org will use this list of goals to inform the program’s outreach and promotion strategy. Input is welcome on any specific local, regional, or global events where promoting the Fellowship Program would help identify strong candidates. These goals will be revised by the SOs/ACs every two years. WEBINAR: Update From the ICANN Board’s CEO Search Committee To gather input from the ICANN Community and the broader Internet ecosystem, the Search Committee has planned a series of Board Listening Sessions, the first of which took place last month during ICANN76. We have scheduled the next Listening Session with the Community on 16 May at 14:00–15:30 Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) via Zoom.

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.

Call for Volunteers: GNSO Council Communications Small Team
by Ariel Liang April 21, 2023

April 21, 2023

(message sent on behalf of the GNSO Council Leadership) Dear Councilors, This is a call for volunteers for the GNSO Council Communications Small Team tasked with developing a GNSO Council strategic communications plan. If you are interested in joining this effort, please respond to this message by EOB Friday, 28 April. Please see background blow. More details about the assignment are included in the Assignment Form attached. -- Background During the GNSO Council Strategic Planning Session that was held from 14-16 December 2022, the GNSO Council identified the need to enhance its communication efforts to broadcast its work and efforts to a broader audience, as well as to counterbalance negative stories and misinformation about GNSO policy work that seemed to have gained prominence on social media and industry blogs. Those negative stories often provide a one-sided, and sometimes misleading, view of events. As a result, this GNSO Council small team is formed to develop a strategic communications plan to proactively promote policy and other GNSO Council priorities. In addition, the GNSO Council submitted an Additional Budget Request (ABR) for FY2024, which intends to secure a commitment from ICANN org to provide the necessary support on an ongoing basis to implement the communications plan. While the GNSO Council anticipates that the support needed may be provided in-house within ICANN org, it does not preclude the need for external expertise / dedicated communications support to develop and publish communications products outside of ICANN’s channels, such as the industry press and beyond. -- Best Regards, Ariel Ariel Xinyue Liang Policy Sr. Specialist Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN)

Review of Communique Issues of Importance Section
by Susan Payne April 21, 2023

April 21, 2023

Hi fellow Councillors The small team reviewing the ICANN 76 Communique (Susan, Manju, Bruna, Mark, Desiree, Jeff) looked at both the Advice section and, for the first time, also the Issues of Importance to the GAC. The draft response on the Advice has already been sent to the Board, subject to formal approval of Council at our upcoming meeting. Regarding the Issues of Importance, we identified the following items where some reaction from Council might be appropriate: DNS Abuse The GAC intends to focus on DNS Abuse for its capacity building sessions prior to and at ICANN 77 ("During ICANN76 GAC plenary sessions, it was agreed that "DNS Abuse" should form the basis of the next wave of GAC Capacity Building interventions in the lead up to, and at ICANN77"). The small team believes it would be appropriate for Council to indicate our willingness to assist, if the GAC would find this helpful. We discussed as options either an email from Council Leadership to GAC Leadership, or for this offer to be made less formally by Jeff, as the GNSO's liaison to the GAC, to Jorge Cancio, with no strong preference for one option over the other. Transparency in GNSO Participation This is a reference to GAC concerns about the review of Statements of Interest ("GAC Members expressed deep concern regarding a proposed exception in the SOI that might permit GNSO participants to refrain from disclosing the identity of the entities they represent in GNSO working groups. The GAC looks forward to further engagement with the GNSO on this issue"). Since this relates to a current GNSO activity and the GAC expressly refers to future engagement, we believe it would be helpful to provide a brief update on the current status of this work, i.e. that this is in discussion in the SOI Taskforce, formed under the auspices of the CCOICI, and the anticipated next steps. Manju, who is chair of the CCOICI, indicated that the next SOI TF meeting would be taking place today, Wednesday 12 April, so that an update after that meeting would be appropriate. Next Steps We have shared these suggestions with Council Leadership and there is a preference for both topics to be covered in a single letter. This could be delivered by Sebastien to the chair of the GAC and copied to the Board, since they expressed an interest in Council addressing items raised in this section of the Communique. Alternatively, if the majority view of Council is that a slightly less formal approach is preferred as a contrast to our treatment of GAC Advice, then the letter could be delivered via our liaisons to the GAC and Board. We would appreciate Councillors' review of our proposals and any preferences on the manner of delivery, by 1700 UTC Monday 17 April.

SubPro IRT Liaison EOI
by Susan Payne April 21, 2023

April 21, 2023

Hi Sebastien, all I've previously informally expressed my interest in the SubPro IRT Liaison role, so would now like to do so formally. My first term on Council runs to the AGM 2024. I will be eligible to serve a second term through to AGM 2026 although this is obviously subject to my being re-elected by my constituency. I participated throughout the SubPro PDP, including on many of the work tracks, and on the discussion group which preceded it, so I am familiar with the recommendations. Since joining Council I have also participated in the SubPro small teams. After nearly 5 years of PDP deliberations and 2 years since they were delivered it is crucial for the credibility of ICANN and its multistakeholder model that the recommendations are now implemented in a timely and efficient manner and that we do not see re-litigation in the IRT. I would welcome the opportunity to assist with that effort if appointed. Thanks all.
