DUE TODAY: Preparations for ICANN66 Constituency Day
From: Cherine Chalaby, ICANN Board Chair
FOR:
All Community Leaders
Dear Constituency and Stakeholder Group Chairs,
Please reply no later than Monday, 14 October 2019
The Board and I are very much looking forward to engaging with you during our 21st AGM that will take place in Montréal between 2-7 November 2019.
We wish to keep working on improving our interaction with you and, in particular, we want to address some of the requests and feedback we have received and introduce some
more flexibility in the format of our valuable face-to-face meetings.
Starting in Montréal, instead of sending up to three questions to the Board, we would like to offer you the alternative option of choosing a single topic and
having an open discussion with the Board on that topic.
We are also suggesting that the list of questions or topics received be shared with the entire Community using the Policy digest, in order to increase transparency
and allow the groups to improve their own understanding of their peers’ point of views on different issues.
As for time allocation, we propose to allocate half of our time together to answer your questions or discuss your single topic and the other half to address the Board’s
topic.
In preparation for our meetings, the Board chose the following topic to have an open discussion with you:
“Community, Board and ICANN org readiness to implement the following three critical plans that will shape ICANN’s future: (1) Strategic Plan FY 21-25, (2) Operating
& Financial Plan FY 21-25, and (3) Work Plan to improve the effectiveness of ICANN’s multistakeholder model.”
The Strategic
Plan [r20.rs6.net] has been adopted by the Board last June at ICANN65 in Marrakech. The two other plans will be completed and posted for public comment in December 2019.
At ICANN64 in Kobe, the Board asked each constituency to provide three suggestions, one for the Board, one for ICANN org and one for the Community of things/aspects
that should be done/improved in order to implement these plans successfully, starting 1 July 2020, as mandated by our Bylaws. In addition, the Board asked for one suggestion of something that could be done externally to improve trust and with
our partners and alliances (eg. IETF) so that they collaborate effectively with ICANN on some of our strategic objectives (eg. DNS security).
Based on the input received in Kobe, we are compiling a list of suggested actions for the community, Board and ICANN org which we would like to share and discuss with
you in Montreal. We will send you that list in advance of our meeting in Montréal on or before Friday, 11 October 2019.
We would be very grateful if you could send to Board Operations (board-ops-team@icann.org) your
single topic or the list of questions (max. 3), in order of priority, no later than Monday, 14 October 2019 or sooner.
For information, we are not changing the current total time allotted per group nor the room set-up.
We look forward to hearing your thoughts on our suggestions and on how to improve our interaction further.
We thank you in advance for your time on this matter and we look forward to welcoming you in Canada!

ENDS THIS WEEK:
Invitation to Provide Feedback on the ICANN Board’s Proposed Public Interest Framework
Executive:
Sally Costerton, Senior Vice President, Global Stakeholder Engagement
FOR:
All Community Leaders
From 18 September – 18 October 2019, a community consultation is taking place on the global public interest framework proposed by the ICANN Board. In reviewing the
proposal, the ICANN Board is asking the ICANN community to consider the following questions for input to the ICANN Board:
1.
What are your thoughts on the proposed framework approach? Do you have any suggestions for how it could be improved?
2.
What are your thoughts on the proposed approach for decisions in the ICANN ecosystem to be accompanied by a consideration of their impact on the global public
interest (as well as an explanation regarding what is meant by the GPI in the specific case)?
3.
How do you see this working for the Supporting Organization (SO), Advisory Committee (AC), constituency, group, review team, or cross-community working group
(CCWG) to which you are contributing?
The global public interest is central to many of ICANN’s primary governance documents, and the ICANN Board hopes to play a role in facilitating a bottom-up, community-driven
process to develop a framework as a toolkit for the ICANN community to consider the global public interest. These considerations would not change the process by which decisions are made but could instead serve as tools for the community to reinforce the commitment
to the public interest and to demonstrate how specific recommendations, advice, and public comments are in the global public interest. This includes the ICANN community guiding the ICANN Board about the public interest determination the latter must make in
its decisions.
To learn more about the framework, please read the
discussion
paper [r20.rs6.net]. Community feedback is welcome by
Friday, 18 October 2019 via email at gpitoolkit@icann.org. After the community
consultation, there will be a public session at ICANN66, followed by a Public Comment proceeding.

2020 Leadership Program
From:
Sally Costerton, Senior Vice President, Global Stakeholder Engagement
FOR:
All Community Leaders
From Wednesday, 2 October to Friday, 15 November 2019, ICANN has issued a call for nominations for the 2020 Leadership Program, scheduled for 5–6 March in Cancún,
Mexico, just prior to ICANN67.
The Leadership Program helps current
and incoming leaders better understand the complexities of ICANN, while also helping to develop the facilitation skills of participants. Understanding ICANN as an organization, the topics discussed within ICANN, and the interaction within other
stakeholder groups can be challenging for incoming leaders, but sometimes also for experienced leaders. ICANN org and the community are making considerable efforts to help incoming leaders have a good start to their terms and to provide current leaders the
opportunity to strengthen their leadership and facilitation skills.
Opportunities for Leadership Program participants include the following:
·
Meet leaders from the other Supporting Organizations/Advisory Committees and get an insight of the functionality and issues in other groups
·
Discuss current ICANN topics in an in-depth manner
·
Deepen the understanding of key ICANN processes
·
Develop facilitation and leadership skills, focused personal effectiveness to run meetings and foster processes
Interested individuals need to be endorsed by their Supporting Organization, Advisory Committee, or stakeholder group.
Please register
here
[r20.rs6.net] by Friday, 15 November 2019, 23:59 UTC. The Leadership Program
does not provide financial support for travel to Cancún but does cover accommodations and offer a stipend for the days a participant is involved in the program.
