NEW: CIP, PHR, and Timing of ATRT4: Community Progress and Consideration at ICANN79

 

At the ICANN79 Community Forum in Puerto Rico, community volunteers from the Continuous Improvement Program Community Coordination Group met for their first hybrid working meeting, where they made substantial progress toward developing common principles for the ICANN Continuous Improvement Program. This meeting was positive and productive in laying a solid foundation for the Continuous Improvement Program framework. The group’s next steps will be to use the principles to build out the draft framework for Public Comment later this year. Click here [r20.rs6.net] to learn more

 

Follow the Continuous Improvement Project (CIP) homepage [r20.rs6.net] for ongoing progress.

 

At ICANN79, the community also discussed the timing of the fourth Accountability and Transparency Review and the status of the Pilot Holistic Review. Listen to the ICANN79 recorded session for updates, community discussion and questions on these important topics here [r20.rs6.net].
