REMINDER:
FY23 Strategic Outlook Program: Trend Identification Sessions
From: Xavier Calvez, Senior Vice President, Planning and Chief Financial Officer
ICANN is kicking off the FY23 Strategic Outlook trend identification process. ICANN community members will have the opportunity to participate in trend identification
sessions via their Supporting Organization (SO) or Advisory Committee (AC).
ICANN org will collaborate with SO and AC chairs and support teams to schedule their sessions over the next few weeks.
We are targeting to complete the trend sessions by the end of March. All strategic outlook sessions will be conducted virtually. ICANN community members are encouraged to join this important discussion. Once complete, ICANN org will conduct a trend analysis
and impact assessment.
The Strategic Outlook Program is a joint effort of ICANN org, community, and Board to identify and track trends that are related to ICANN. This ensures that these
opportunities and challenges are incorporated into current and future planning. Every year, new trends or shifts in existing trends impacting the operating plans (five-year or annual) and/or budget are factored into the annual iteration of those plans as appropriate.
Significant shifts could also result in adjustments to the strategic plan.
We look forward to your participation in this dialogue about ICANN planning and strategy.

DUE TOMORROW:
ICANN Board Interactions with ICANN Communities during ICANN70
From: ICANN Board Chair Maarten Botterman
Dear ICANN community chairs,
First of all, let me take the opportunity to reiterate on behalf of the ICANN Board, our best wishes to you and your families for a healthy 2021. We have all been
very affected (and still are) by this long-lasting pandemic and will never spread enough of those positive thoughts and messages of hope for a brighter future! We very much look forward to seeing you in person, hopefully later this year, even if today it is
not possible to predict when it will be responsible to do so again.
The ICANN Board has recently been briefed thoroughly on your input to the ICANN Public Meetings Strategy and wanted to thank you all for your constructive contribution
to this important survey. The suggested changes will be implemented by ICANN org, and the ICANN Board will of course actively participate in the dialogue to find the best possible way forward in this, together. ICANN70 will mark the next step.
In line with the decision to organize ICANN70 virtually and considering the current global situation with regard to the pandemic, various communities are arranging
different times to engage the ICANN Board, either before, during or after ICANN70. We have learned to appreciate the opportunity to have this conversation during ICANN Public Meetings, and the survey conducted after ICANN69 confirmed that you do as well.
Up until ICANN69, the ICANN Board has proposed a subject to you to discuss during our joint meetings. For ICANN70, we would like to invite you to propose questions
for the ICANN Board to answer, or a subject to engage in an open discussion during our time together. Please note that we are
not changing the current total time allotted per community.
Please send your single topic or list of questions in order of priority to the Board Operations team, board-ops-team@icann.org,
no later than Friday, 26 February 2021.
Your suggested questions or topic for discussion will be published and circulated in this digest, which will facilitate transparency and allow all communities to deepen
their understanding of community issues and different points of view. We look forward to hearing your thoughts, questions, or topics of interest and to exchange with you constructively.
