Hi all

During our upcoming prep call we will have the opportunity to consider both the Council’s meeting with the GAC and that with the Board at ICANN 85.  In the case of the meeting with the Board, we have received the following questions, of which we can either answer both or select one.   We’ll discuss shortly.

During the meeting in Mumbai, we will listen carefully to your specific needs during our bilateral sessions. In keeping with our established practice, we would like to ask the following questions of your group in advance of our joint session. Please choose one of those questions if you don’t feel you have the time to address both: 

1.       The ICANN Five Year FY26-30 Strategic plan highlights priorities that support ICANN’s vision for 2030.

The annual strategy review program is launching at ICANN85. 

o   This program provides a structured way to assess whether updates to the FY26-30 Strategic Plan are needed, to reflect changes in the external environment and ICANN’s internal capability

From your perspective, what is the top emerging trend that may impact ICANN that you think the Board should consider?  

2.       How is your group participating in the Review of Reviews Cross Community Group and what are your thoughts on how the proposals to date are evolving reviews to be more fit for purpose and sustainable?
In particular, would you share your views on the respective roles of self-assessment (as in the Continuous Improvement Program) and contemplated assessment of SOs and ACs by the broader community in the context of a Reviews program?

We kindly request that you send any questions you would like the Board to address during our face-to-face meetings to Board Operations (board-ops-team@icann.org) no later than Wednesday 25th February. Given the limited time available for the discussion, please prioritize your questions.
