May 10, 2023

Hi Councilors! Thank you all for investing your time into our extraordinary Council Meeting to look at the next steps for addressing the Board's outreach on SubPro issues. I hope you found it as productive as I did. This note is just to keep you all up to speed on our progress. Below is a link to the latest draft of our working document, which contains the first iteration of the clarifying information we intend to send to the Board on various topics. It has been color coded as suggested on our recent call. The Small Team will be going over this in our call tomorrow and we thought it would be helpful if all Councilors had it so that you could remain up to date on our progress and see the document evolve (quickly) while we speed toward meeting our quickly approaching deadline. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1aV4iVy3BqyPub9ImJdCKVxcJTpKOCqxe/edit?u… [docs.google.com]<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1aV4iVy3BqyPub9ImJdCKVxcJTpKOCqxe/edit?u…> Thanks so much for tracking with the Small Team on this.

Groups should aim to return the forms by 15 May 2023. The ICANN organization regularly updates its strategy for targeted outreach and promotion for the Fellowship Program. 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. 🔥 ACTION ITEM: Sign up for Strategic Outlook Identification Sessions ICANN’s FY25 Planning Process has started, beginning with the strategic outlook program. 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. 🔥 ACTION ITEM: Register for the Asia Pacific Domain Name System Forum 2023 ICANN and the Hong Kong Internet Registration Corporation (HKIRC) invite interested participants to register [r20.rs6.net]<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=00103-MWsgGRA97e2uy…> for the Asia Pacific (APAC) Domain Name System (DNS) Forum 2023 in Hong Kong, China.

FOR YOUR INFORMATION: Board vote on IGO curative rights recommendations
by Mary Wong May 4, 2023

May 4, 2023

Dear Councilors, If you are a subscriber to the twice-weekly Community Leadership Digest, you may have already seen that, at its meeting this past Sunday (30 April), the ICANN Board voted to adopt the GNSO’s policy recommendations on curative rights protections for International Governmental Organizations (IGOs). These are the two sets of recommendations from two GNSO policy processes that had been pending before the Board. In summary, the Board voted to adopt the four recommendations that the Council approved (out of five) from the PDP on IGO-INGO Access to Curative Rights Mechanisms in 2019, as well as the five Full Consensus recommendations that the Council approved from the subsequent EPDP on Specific Curative Rights Protections for IGOs in June 2022. You can find the Board resolution and accompanying rationale here: https://www.icann.org/en/board-activities-and-meetings/materials/approved-r…. In accordance with the Board’s direction, staff from the Policy and GDS teams have begun to discuss implementation planning and the Board’s request for an implementation plan. We will come back to the GNSO Council once we are in a position to share our thinking about next steps for implementing these two sets of recommendations. Thank you! Incidentally, if you are not currently a subscriber to the Community Leadership Digest but would like to receive these twice-weekly updates from ICANN org, please sign up here: https://forms.gle/uEVHoWUifJ29e1sD7. You can view all prior issues of the Digest here: https://community.icann.org/display/soacabout/ICANN+Community+Digest. Thanks and cheers Mary

[r20.rs6.net]<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001jDQ3VglDa0FgamD5…> 🔥 ACTION ITEM: SOs/ACs to provide feedback on Fellowship Program outreach and promotion goals SOs/ACs are asked to contribute to the Fellowship Program's strategy for outreach and promotion by providing feedback on suggested diversity targets for the Fellowship Program. Interested community groups should complete this form [r20.rs6.net]<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001jDQ3VglDa0FgamD5…> and send it via email to Siranush.Vardanyan(a)icann.org<mailto:Siranush.Vardanyan@icann.org>. Groups should aim to return the forms by 15 May 2023. The ICANN organization regularly updates its strategy for targeted outreach and promotion for the Fellowship Program. 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. 🔥 ACTION ITEM: Sign up for Strategic Outlook Identification Sessions ICANN’s FY25 Planning Process has started, beginning with the strategic outlook program. 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. 🔥 ACTION ITEM: Register for the Asia Pacific Domain Name System Forum 2023 ICANN and the Hong Kong Internet Registration Corporation (HKIRC) invite interested participants to register [r20.rs6.net]<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001jDQ3VglDa0FgamD5…> for the Asia Pacific (APAC) Domain Name System (DNS) Forum 2023 in Hong Kong, China.
