Dear GNSO Council

Following our SPS session in January, the GNSO IG/WSIS+20 informal group met earlier this week.

Bellow are some key activities regarding the WSIS +20 Review process:

  1. WSIS+20 is now accepting proposals for the WSIS High Level Event sessions July, 7-14 and the feedback on the WSIS Action Lines (deadline is March 14: https://www.itu.int/net4/wsis/forum/2025/Home/Consultations)

  2. Reminder: ICANN has set up an outreach network - a mailing list. Subscribe here. See the page here. https://www.icann.org/en/government-engagement/wsis20-outreach-network

  3. The IGF mandate is up for extension this year. Various communities are working together to ask for a permanent IGF. You can submit your comment via the WSIS+20 Review Open consultation process above.

  4. If you want to submit an IGF workshop, deadline is March 12
