Our Thanks and Best Wishes for a Happy 2022
On behalf of the ICANN Board and organization (org), we wish to thank the ICANN community for another year of dedicated work in service of ICANN's mission. The fact
that ICANN's work, to preserve a single, interoperable Internet, has continued to progress in a year of challenges and uncertainty is a testament to not only to the strength of the ICANN multistakeholder model, but to the tenacity and dedication of the individuals
that make up our community.

Reflecting on 2021 and Preparing for the 2022 January ICANN Board Workshop
Blog post from Maarten Botterman:
On behalf of the ICANN Board, I want to express my gratitude to everyone who has given their time and effort to advancing ICANN's mission during 2021. Despite uncertainty
and challenges, the ICANN Community, Organization (Org), and Board worked tirelessly together to ensure that we stay on mission, progress our work, and do so in a spirit of collaboration and productivity. Thank you for all you have done – with a full recognition
of all the challenges that the year has brought to us, jointly and individually.

Reflecting Back on 2021 at ICANN
Blog post from Göran Marby:
As 2021 comes to a close, I am reflecting on another year where the work of the ICANN Board, community, and organization has exceeded expectations. While I had hoped
that my 2020 end-of-year blog would be the last one in which I spoke about unprecedented challenges, this year has again been a testament to the strength of the multistakeholder model in meeting the demands of an ever-evolving Internet ecosystem, at a time
when we all depend on the Internet more than ever.
